FR has a clique like that.

Even if you believed in the Carbon Hoax electric cars make no sense. They are heavier requiring more energy to use them. The energy that they use is from some other man made source so you lose extra energy along the way because of that as well. The market never happened for them because they are inferior to gasoline powered cars . Only Government meddling has made their widespread use possible.

The storage situation for hydrogen is its greatest problem. However, here comes Metal Hydride Technology using magnesium hydride. Upon complete hydrogenation, all the hydrogen is stored as solid magnesium hydride. Zero hydrogen gas can be released in its stable solid state.

Great point. So long as it’s 72 degrees out it’s easy living.

Just be thankful they haven’t forced us into EV jumbo jets.
Optimal manufacturer’s promise of 4,800 miles ends up at 2,900 miles and a bunch of people hoping a jet can float in the Atlantic between New York and London.

When the range promise is not met by results, the EV owner can pull out the Plan B scooter.....

Hydrogen is perishable. Hydrogen atoms are teeny tiny. They escape between molecules of glass and steel containers. Not great for long term storage.

Hydrogen does not escape when absorbed by magnesium hydride. I think this stuff will hold enough hydrogen to act like a gas tank. Hydrogen is released when the hydrate is heated (desorption). The required inlet pressure of the anode subsystem of a hydrogen proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is in the 3–5 bar range, which is an achievable pressure level during desorption from the metal hydride storage.

“EVs are right for ….. nobody”

The one user group I see an EV might be right is postal delivery where they start and stop every few hundred feet. Not for cost sakes, or pollution sake, but for maintenance and wear sake.

4. I would add the container embrittlement problem caused by
hydrogen.

Here I Florida there’s a proposal to tax ev owners 200 dollars a year because there’s no tax revenue coming in from the charging vs gasoline tax.

I had a 1950’s VW Beatle that didn’t come with a fuel gauge, it was a real drag.

the very best solar energy product that provides energy simply and efficiently...the tree. been working tirelessly on a smokeless wood burning engine for a truck and even working on how to use green wood, you know, to appease the green party.

“How much does it cost to “fill up” an EV?”

Recent study indicated if not for all the taxpayer subsidies’ Uncle Joe has handed out it would be around $17 per equivalent gallon of gas.

It should be more. EV’s weigh some 500 lbs more than an equivalent ICE car. Weight of vehicles is what destroy roads.

For instance, a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT will create electricity that, through electrolysis, produces hydrogen.

Fixed it.

This sounds like an underhanded advertisement FOR EVs. The numbers here are negligible compared to what I’ve heard real world people reporting.

EVs are the "mRNA jabs" of the "green" movement. Two 'weeks' to flatten the car manufacturing companies..... Might take a little longer, but....

Gotta work on the public's "uptake" of the EVs, the jabs, the belief in objective fact-checkers and of course transsexuals being 'whatever' as long as one doesn't observe many are remorseful and all are sterile.....
