Fuel Cell EV Becomes a Mobile Emergency Power Station

This fuel cell EV uses hydrogen to bring emergency power to disaster zones.

I like the use of hydrogen fuel cells to recharge the portable units, but I'd like to see them integrate solar into the body to provide a little extra energy.

Any idea what something like this would cost to purchase and operate? I imagine many storm-vulnerable regions would be quite interested in this for immediate aftermath of outages, but I'm wondering how hefty the price tag would be for actual wide implementation.

No idea at all. I was going to piece together an estimate based on the cost of the components, but I couldn't find the price of a Sora (Toyota's FCEV passenger bus) or the cost of the portable power sources.
