What kind of fuel did in run on?  The basic fuel for those
is hydrogen I think.  The big news now is that they

I think it would be turned off while parked for a long time.
I would think a computer would shut the fuel cell down after a
certain length of no-load time.  In other words,
when the batteries are fully charged, the thing shuts off.
