The system reforms natural gas to provide the vehicle with hydrogen which is mixed with oxygen to power the car.

The Home Energy Station is also able to function as a backup power generation system during power outages by using the hydrogen in the storage tank to power the internal fuel cell, providing as much as 5 kilowatts of electrical power to the home in normal and emergency conditions.
