Are you actually ready to buy an Electric Vehicle?

The key to using hydrogen as power is the fuel cell. A hydrogen fuel cell converts the hydrogen energy into electricity. Fuel cells can be used in cars, and to provide electricity to rural areas with no power lines. To power a car, the electricity produced from hydrogen energy flows into the battery, acting much like today's hybrid electric cars.

Hydrogen Energy FAQs

https://science.howstuffworks.com/e... issue compounds another,gas, it has no smell.

 

You took chem and you don’t know how it’s naturally found as compound. Amazing. “ university physics “. Funny, didn’t know physics was different in a university then anywhere else.

 

Gee, if hydrogen is so plentiful, why aren’t cars being powered by it now ? We can name dozens of manufactured battery powered EVs, can you name many hydrogen ? Waiting.

 

I wonder how much it would have cost to charge your electric vehicle during the Texas deep freeze....I heard those people who did have electricity had bills in the thousands of dollars.

There is much irony in those saying you should have an electric vehicle during the pipeline crisis

 

https://futurism.com/the-byte/texans-sleeping-teslas-survive-freezing-cold
lots of stories about Texans sleeping in the electric cars to survive

And those with Tesla powerwalls reported that they were able to keep them charged enough with solar panels even with snow coverage

 

Some Texans' electricity bills skyrocket as high as $17,000
"How in the world can anyone pay that? I mean you go from a couple hundred dollars a month," one customer said

mmm...$17000...makes hydrogen look like a much better option

 

You didn’t read my post did you? You know the bit that said

The South Australian Mega battery has shown the world how successful building storage into a power grid can be

 

Well you're making the assumption everyone has solar panels...that's ridiculous, besides during a snowstorm you still need to make sure you keep the snow off and what if they don't get enough sunshine....there's no guarantee

Hydrogen is a better option

 

No - I am NOT “making an assumption but an observation that those with solar panels and individual battery storage did better than those without. The technology in this field is roaring ahead. But it would not take a bank of lithium batteries the older heavier iron battery would also work. Biggest problem would be getting power grid level power as inverters take a lot of juice. America is a bit more fortunate there as they have a lower current voltage than Australia

 

Oooookaaaaaaayyyyy!

Doing a bit of Google and I found THIS interesting little story. An Australian company (so it has to be good! ) has come up with a way to repurpose end of Life batteries from electric vehicles to use in power grid storage

Instead of thinking how it cannot work, how about thinking how it can work. Newer units will have their own charging systems built in, improved battery capacity and longevity. Think positive instead of negative.

 

The current transportation habits are unviable. Alternatives are within reach. That is where attention should be directed rather than attempting to preserve the vested interests controlling us today.

 

So you recommend all of us drive battery powered automobiles? They are as heavy as a large gasoline powered car yet small as a mid sized car. No thanks, I need room.

Is there any concern at all that most of the known lithium supply is in Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Australia and China. ?

I think otherwise. That in RED, where does that idea originate?

I do not consume gasoline to help oil companies, I consume it due to energy density and until Biden took office reasonably priced.

 

The most abundant element on Earth as well in space and Democrats shun hydrogen.

 

You are to be commended for having the top coal supply delivered to the world. Well done.

Well surely you drive an EV!!!!!

 

I guess you have no answer.

 

Hardly.
In large numbers, people go where they want, when they want, and how they want.
Their desire and their ability to do so is reflected in transportation marketplace, where SUVs and trucks outsell everything else, by at least an order of magnitude.
If these choices, practices and habits were unviable, as you suggest, they would not be so pervasive.

You didn't address my question:
Why would someone choose an unviable alternative to their current transportation habits?

 

It is you that has no answer.

Do you drive an EV? The poll of those driving one does not include your name.

 

No, I'm recommending that all people drive battery powered automobiles in certain circumstances; there will be the need for fossil fuel vehicles, such as fire trucks, Public Service Work trucks, Ambulances, etc. That being said, long term you will see fossil fuel vehicles go the way of the horse and buggy as electric transportation becomes a reality. I don't have the article handy, but I read that researchers are working on alternatives to lithium batteries in addition to charging units built into the electric cars that will help to charge your battery while driving the car. It's not going to happen overnight but over time it will and people need to prepare and accept the fact that it is going to happen.

 

EV's are a step backward.

 

Telling me to reread the thread instead of a 1 click quote isn't providing me anything. It's hiding behind a mountain of information hoping nobody calls you on it and just accepts your word.

 

I gave you the post number.
