The project Hesla allowed to double the reserve

The most successful company in the field of production of electric vehicles today is the Tesla. And although it still brings some losses, capitalization of Tesla has already overtaken Ford and
and General Motors as the largest car company in the United States. Tesla produces only electric vehicles, but the Dutch company Holthausen Group decided to incorporate in the Model S's fuel cells.

Actually Elon Musk (Elon Musk), the head of Tesla, has long positioned itself as an ardent opponent of hydrogen vehicles. In his opinion, these vehicles are a deadlock branch of development, as they are less efficient than electric cars. This has not stopped Dutch enthusiasts that have significantly changed the filling Model S: electrostan lost battery
the place where you installed the fuel cell. The hydrogen tanks were installed in niches of the body, so that the geometry of the cabin has not been violated.

According to representatives of the Group Holthausen, power reserve Hesla (as they call their car) is about 1 000 kilometers. It approximately twice more than the standard Tesla. Another advantage of unusual models is the ability to refuel quickly: it takes only a few minutes, while on a full charge the electric car takes several hours.

Hesla, however, there are drawbacks. First, the revision cost 50 000 dollars and for that amount you can buy a used Model S or new Model 3. Secondly, hydrogen stations are still little, even in Europe. For example, all of the Netherlands there are eight of them.

Founder Holthausen Group Holthausen Stefan (Stefan Holthausen) is going to take orders for the alteration of "Tesla". While he did not disclose the timing of conversion of American cars.
