The compromise is going beyond electrification. You need large scale energy storage or baseload power, plus the needs of industry (aka the hard decarbonization sector). This cannot be solved purely by electrification. People who have though

And until 15 years ago, nearly zero BEVs have sold. Meanwhile, >1 billion ICE cars have been sold. You literally are the dumbest person on this site I've met. Not are you incredibly stupid, you act like you have actual knowledge. Yo

Fuel cells are battery tech. Again, where are you getting your info? It's pure bullshit and utterly detached from reality.

Wrong. Both are electrochemical systems. Both have a limit of 100% efficiency in theory. The fact that you don't know this suggests you're a giant bullshitter this whole time.

They don't actually require platinum. Only some types. And even then, it is basically the catalytic converter in terms of platinum needed. It is also 100% recyclable already.

Relative to the alternatives, it does not cost more money. You just need to accept the existence of hydrogen-based energy storage and perhaps synthetic fuels too. Cost will be the same or less as other energy storage ideas. And if you accep

But it simply didn't happen. At all in fact, once you look at the whole world. And all of this is based on reported data. We never got a clear picture of what unknown transmission looked like. If I had to guess, it was many-fold worse.

Interestingly enough, Tesla just released their "Master Plan 3" which admits the need for hydrogen for seasonal energy storage and synthetic fuels. It doesn't admit the need for nuclear though. So we can see it as a first ste

A gas turbine is a really bad idea for a car. They take a long time to get up to speed and spew a lot of hot exhaust in the meanwhile. Gas turbine cars weren't practical cars at all. I will argue that the finite nature of battery relat

We can just directly convert green energy into hydrogen. For a lot of cases that is already more than good enough. Synthetic fuels may be needed, but possibly only in specific situations.

The latest master plan ironically admits the need for green hydrogen for green energy to be viable. A big deal, because it is one of the ideas that can match or exceed fossil fuels for energy density. It is perhaps the only thing in the who

And if you took that reasoning one step further, and replace the ICE with something zero emissions, such as a hydrogen fuel cell or even something running on e-fuels, it is basically a zero emissions car. In other words we've completel

Actually Musk was not the founder of Tesla, nor is Tesla likely to be a major car maker in the future. It is basically a terrible car maker know for its poor quality, on par with Chrysler and the like. It is likely destined to be own by som

I'm gonna guess that there was significant silent transmission. I.e. people who were asymptomatic were spreading the disease. If that's the case, then there is no stopping once it went beyond a few dozen people. The last date that

It's honestly more of a grand vision of what a future society could look like, not anything any one company could accomplish. You read papers like this from many a futurist.

There literally hasn't been a single hydrogen car that has exploded. You can only cite examples of people carrying hydrogen and due to incompetence it started a fire or explosion. Meanwhile, many people have died in fires in existing c

And it's soon to be very cheap, just like the rest of green energy. You're basically stuck in the past and citing people who are also stuck in the past. A fuel cell is also an electrochemical system. An FCEV is also an EV. Same el

I’m pretty sure that’s an April Fools’ joke.

True, but this trend could really accelerate. I imagine something akin to how ultra-performance cars are priced compared to regular cars, and this gap doesn’t close anywhere near as fast as it used to.

So is the vast majority of electricity. Take away hydropower and nuclear, and it's something like 85%. Use to be 99% at one point.

Millions of tons of hydrogen is used in industry. Serious incidents are rare. Not to mention there hasn't been a single hydrogen car that has exploded or whatever (something that can't be said of BEVs). So just from that your argu

No, it's pointing out the obvious. Why are BEV fanatics so antagonistic to another EV? It is entirely about the competitive threat of them, not about any actual criticism. Which BTW is almost nonexistence because again, they're bo

And what is hydrogen but fuel made from water? Far less raw materials than could ever be achieved with batteries. And you'll never have to mine it even once. Seriously, the battery people act exactly like climate change deniers. An ent

This type of marketing has existed for a long time. The classic example being “learn to get rich by buying my $20 book” which is just a list of random advice.

Wrong. All cars will eventually have to move to hydrogen. This is due to the unsustainability of battery cars. A lot of the anti-Japan rhetoric here is bordering on racism. They are actually planning ahead. Western carmakers are short-sight

This is also total bullshit. A fuel cell car is also an EV . Toyota is pursuing because it is the simply the better idea. People who repeat this bullshit are just brainwashed Tesla fans.

This is total bullshit. Hydrogen is fundamentally necessary to a green economy. You literally couldn't reach zero emissions without it for industry and energy storage. Same is true of transportation in nearly every sector. People are o

The type of fuel cell car that existed in the 1970s were basically undrivable. The first actually usable hydrogen fuel cell car only existed in the last decade. You're reasoning is the same as all of the wildly short-sighted rhetoric o
