The Natrium is powered by a battery pack and a fuel cell using hydrogen produced by a sodium borohydride reformer inside the car. Because the reactant (sodium borohydride, NaBH4) contains no carbon, the vehicle produces no carbon dioxide. It had a range of 300 miles (480 km), similar interior space to a standard van, and could produce 110 or 240 volt alternating current.[1]
