hydrogen always sounds very attractive, but it has a teensy problem. Compressing it takes a lot of energy. Hurricane is concerned there is not enough electricity to run EVs - there is, but is there enough electricity to create hydrogen, distribute it and compress it etc - probably not.
Fear not, your teensy problem will be washed away by our 16 billion gigawatts of waiting tidal energy slipping between our fingers every day.
I see that the national grid are angling for a bit more money and ranking in the pecking order. Generation is in the bag but we need to respect the wiring.
in their points they say that batteries are guaranteed for 7 or 8 years which apparently equates to 100,000 miles. Yet the average use talked about in this very thread would make that around 50,000 miles.
Anyway, we are ultimate just prawns in the sea of life. Some people may find their investment in new tech goes Betamax but for the rest of you happy days, revel in your VHS enjoyment….. ?
