Perhaps the solution for EV chargers is a special fuel that burns with oxygen and releases electricity. And it shouldn't have C in it, only H, N and O. I guess, its also allowed to use rare earth catalyzers.
- leoedin 5y agoAmmonia could be an interesting fuel for vehicles (easy to synthesise from electricity, quite energy dense). It's a bit toxic though (probably manageable) and the round trip efficiency of synthesized ammonia used in a fuel cell or internal combustion engine must be really low. It would only make sense if we had huge amounts of surplus energy.
