LosDTenaces is correct. Like electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell cars are zero emission, silent, and efficient. Unlike electric cars, they require only a minute to refuel (electric cars take hours to recharge). Most importantly, they don't draw energy from a national grid, eliminating the ability of electric power companies to monopolize the energy market and raise prices. (It is even possible to produce hydrogen at home and sell excess energy back to the grid!)
@drussM ..but where do you get hydrogen from mate? that's the (big) problem with this hydrogen fuel cell technology that people don't quite grasp. The fact is it requires enormous amounts of electricity to produce hydrogen, its not simply a pre-existing energy source that we can just find underground like oil ..and no, you can't produce significant amounts of hydrogen in your shed or garage, if that was possible we'd all be doing it.
they should be researching more into hydrogen fuel cells, and add the infrastructure to support it, which electric cars would need anyway to charge on the go (but to get they won't because they are pointless). The only reason why we don't have car with hydrogen fuel cells here is because the petrol stations don't have the hydrogen. and they won't unless people have the cars, which they won't buy if they can't fill them up. so it will only happen when one of the companies sell hydrogen
basically the testla is a car that shows people who don't know anything about electric cars, that if you fill the car with batteries it will go REALLY fast for a number of miles, before needing to be recharged for ages. it is not the future, while electric car companies could be finding ways of charging batteries faster, and making them last longer, which is still a waste of time because they will never be as convenient as working cars. they just waste everyone's time.
the future is in electric car with hydrogen fuel cells, or other forms of renewable fuel, that allows the car to refill with potential energy quickly,(not in 4 hours). the battery powered electric cars are as bad the hybrids, they are all just so people can pretend that they have less of a carbon footprint. the hybrids use a ridiculous amount of co2 in the production (as well as the batteries in the testla which will need to be replaced every few years depending on how much its driven).
the thing with electric cars, is that electric motors have always been known as the future, but batters have never really kept up, they have always taken forever to charge, which makes them impractical. it may be cheaper to run but as well as the usual wear and tear that costs money, the batteries can only take a so many charges before they stop working, and the replacement will cost a fortune. The research in battery powerd cars is pointless.
REAL Free energy technology exists!But the Oil companies want these technologies unknown to the masses,Go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints for a genuine magnet motor ,take part in the revolution!
Free inexhaustible energy is real!But Elite controllers don't want ppl to be free from the costs of energy,Go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints for a genuine magnet motor ,Join the revolution!
great enthusiasm and I share it. I also share the frustration and impatience with what should be instant progress.
on the positive side though the Tesla is only a glimmer of what is and will be possible with electric drive.
As the Racing Green Endurance team has indirectly shown with their converted Radical, an EV can readily have 1000+km range. They went more than 500km on a single charge with basic 90Wh/kg thundersky batteries so it stands to reason that it would do >1000 with 230Wh/kg cells
Yo people you guys should see the development of the electric car in perspective.
First of all, yes, electric cars existed. My RC car toy is an electric car, that used to be the popular perception of electric cars: useless powerless toys.
Second thing, the internal combustion engine is a old mature technology. The current electric car is still young in a early stages of development, and yet it can compete with the traditional cars. That is what is really exciting and how much potential it has.
@rock3tcat I would suggest that if any automotive technology will come to dominate in the next 10 to 15 years, it will have to be be electric powered. We don't really have any choice, all the research indicates that we passed pea oil (the maximum amount we can extract in any 1 year) around 2005. Fossil fuels are finite, extraordinary that I even have to suggest this it's so glaringly obvious. Basically it's electric cars or train, bus, bicycle and walking.
@rock3tcat the need for efficiency and nothing else. i dont think batteries will be the future way to store energy, since they rely on strip-mining large tracks of land to make the batteries and you still have the problem of generating the energy in a clean manner - but probably hydrogen with gen 3+ extreme high heat nuclear reactors providing the energy to make it. this is 20 years in the future tho. until then batteries are the best substitute
@desmonds22 There are batteries that you recharge with water. look up NoPoPo Water Powered Rechargeable batteries. The future is today & we keep fucking around with the past. Over 100 years and we still haven't replace the combustion engine? come on, wake the fuck up! We can run engines off of compressed air too which is also old technology that's been suppressed.
@rock3tcat the thing about electric cars you have to remember is that technically they derive their energy source from whatever the grid is using. So no matter whatever process a particular economy uses to make its energy, the cars will be able to utilize it. Hell, if people love gasonline so much, they could burn it at a plant, power it into the grid and technically an electric car would be able to use that too.
I think you'll find that electric motors are also very good at torque. What is likely to keep trucks on diesel is the sheer size of battery required to propel a fully loaded truck would be massively expensive(at the moment).
I think hydrogen will be used for trucks in the future because it can be used in ICE's. Trucks need massive amounts of torque and ICE's are very good at that.
@Charles2337 Actually ICEs have pathetic torque compared to electric motors. Electric motors perform the work of moving the train in diesel-electric locomotives simply because an ICE could never do the same job without some ridiculous transmission that would be incredibly impractical. Cost is the only reason trucks don't use electric traction motors and they would actually perform better if they did, plus the drivers would never have to change gears again.
@TFTPBAG well that's a lie. My car does 400 miles on a tank and that's about £40.
I must say though that I am looking forward to electric cars, I think that you could speed up the charging with the right infastructures in place I.e a higher voltage socket but hydrogen in probably more like what we do already so that'll stick.
You mean who is Tesla? He invented almost all of our modern tech about 100 years ago.... if you enjoy AC electricity, cell phones, radio, electric motors and death rays you should look him up. Edison and Marconi just stole his ideas and were better salesman.
I don't really agree with the 3 step vs many step approach to comparing hydrogen and electric fueling platforms. On a consumer level, its still just three steps; fuel up, stored and use. It doesn't really matter how it gets to the fuel up point, as long as it's clean and efficient, ie don't use coal power to make the electricity and theres no lose of energy when it gets to my car. Another thing to keep in mind is if the car is readily available... meaning, i don't have to wait 13 hours ...
Surley nuclear power stations would be better? I think Solar Panels are only 3-5% efficient so you would need a whole country full of the damn things.
nuclear wouldnt be better.... and solar panels are now up to 30%. I work in the industry. and you sure wouldnt need much to lower the usage of coal and nukes.
you should love the idea of electric....it will save F1 and besides electric has more torque and is much faster in the top end!
I thought electric cars had more immediate torque which is good for accelaration and towing (bloody caravans :P)but petrol and deisel had more overal torque from the higher revs. but ye, one day (sadly) oil will eun out :( :(..Do you know of a constant supply of renewable energy that doesnt need fossil fuels to keep it running..for example can we build things like Wind farms or solar panels with 100% renewable energy?
@FormulaOneObsessed Solar panels are around 18% efficient and people do produce enough power for both their home and vehicles with what can fit on their roof.
Petrol engines are so out dated and crude... And it's pretty funny that the guy that made this car is named Cochrane, which also happens to be the name of the poineer Zefram Cochrane who in the Star Trek series invented the spacecraft engine technology called "warp" and started a whole new era in space travel :)
this is only the start we'll see something called free energy in the next year to couple of years and then later on we shall have space traveling tech and not the shitty chemical rockets but anti-grave engines. i seem like a idiotic sci-fi lover which i am not but keep your eye open
See, The Anti gravity engine would be Very unlikley.One Gravity is a force that interacts with EVERYTHING. To produce a force that Interacts with matter to repel and create a force forwards Is Impossible unless your using it on a object with more mass. Once your in space, There is No more mass that wieghs more than your ship. Infact your basicly Screwed. Unless a 700 ton astroid comes near your drive
True, if people have noticed the advancements in technology. mostly on computers and cellphones. It's massively impressive IMO.
Cellphones are now almost as powerful, sometimes even more powerful than laptops compared to the size, this might sound geeky but. most people doesn't even realize that the phone they've bought are actually MULTIPLE CORED. some are even triple cored ones.
as for PCs ultra fast components, and a whole lot more to expect.
Lol so true. ontop of that people do not know the cellphone they have in there hand has more power then all the computers put together that Nasa used to land the space shuttle on the moon.
yah you DO seem like an idiotic sci-fi lover...if you actually knew about the science of the shit you are talking about then you would know there is no FREE ENERGY and anti-grav engines? wtf? lollopopbrigade already covered that.
Actually we are making engines right now based off star trek. Chemical rocket fuels burn too quickly so they are designing an engine that runs off plasma. It will just continually build up speed since there is no resistance in space other than gravity. The only problem we face with that is a solution to bring the ship to a stop. You would have to have an equal force of the engine moving in the opposite direction which is a delima

Global warming debate aside, where will your Tesla get its electrical energy? My house is connected to natural gas fired plants. I'd still be burning ff's.
@ethicks00 ah that is where theory is correct but the truth is that gas is used to produce electricity and though a combined effort of gas and electricity makes gas a more of a pollutant then just electricity itself
Why don't you go look up the sea surface temps for the past 3,000 years before the industrial revolution and realize that the earth combined with solar activity warms itself up. The earth goes through cycles of temperature change regardless of what we do. It always has! Have you noticed the earths avg temps are decreasing right now and not increasing? OMG we better stop driving now or Global Freezing might occur and Al Gore can make more money off it!
I think you are all fools if you believe that current climate models take all factors into account and are even close to accurate. I also have supreme confidence in natures ability to cope with far worse problems than what we egotistical humans can dish out. However, just because nature survives it doesn't mean our species will. Climate is a symptom population is a driver. Exponential population growth on a finite planet is the real crux and that is a moral quagmire that no one has solved yet.

Excellent response,you keep your red necked head buried in the sand, burn your fossils. Burn them to your hearts content. Live in the frail hope that the billions of tons of fossil fuel we burn every day 'makes no difference.'
Screw that global warming shit, you need MAN'S technology, big tough he-man's tech, you need to drive big noisy car that makes loud noise, big smoke, doesn't actually work very well but heck, it's manly. Or maybe that's worth contemplating for a moment? No. fair enough
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Global warming is already proven to be a hoax. The data is so small its not considered to be a significant difference. Airplanes have HUGE motors that crank out a lot of smoke and burn lots of fuel....however...it actually replinishes the ozone!! CO2 is way heavy and cant rise high enough to cause a greenhouse effect, we have had record low temperatures and the ice bergs in antarctica are actually getting bigger, not smaller! The polar bear population hasn't even changed!
Neither climate change or the total lack of effect of human's activities on the environment has been proved beyond doubt. Even today the majority of the worlds scientists believe the mass of data collected shows our activities are having a direct, measurable effect. The deniers jumped for joy over a couple of e-mails We burn billions of tons of fossil fuels every year which is plainly and simply stupid, doesn't matter what effect it may or may not have. We should develop alternatives.
@BearBaylor69 good fukn reply love how these guys thnk driving a prius and turning off there lights is gonna chnage the whole world on a global scale let them live in that little gay hope

co2 and fossil fuels then u culd eva switch off one light u fukn spastic
I think you are missing the point. Climate science is not the problem. Oil is a limited resource and the fact is that some day regardless of which model you choose to believe we will run out. Long before that fateful day the ultra rich will hoard whats left..... so if you're net worth does not involve ten zeros or more you will be squeezed out of the petro game long before we run out. There are mountains of evidence to show that many of us may live long enough to see this process happen WAKE UP
Why do you think the US is using other countries oil rather than most of ours? We really only drill on a few inland rigs and in the gulf of mexico. We still have the entire east coast plus alaska which combined ammounts to more oil than we have even consumed since we started using it for every day life. Our generation most definitely won't see it happen. We may see the price rise but thats about it
The question is not how much oil is in the ground but rather how much can we get out before it takes a barrel to recover a barrel. This fact combined with exponential growth of use Vs. finite resources and geopolitical factors paints a very grim picture for the viability of oil in the near future. I suppose several billion people could...... check out early or ummm be encouraged to work for free and not use oil but some people might call that genocide or slavery. Population grows oil doesn't.
most common presumption about non-petrol cars is that they are not clean because their electricy or other energy makes pollution when it's made. I think that is a religious mantra with no rational thought whatsoever. Electric cars or hydrogen cars are cleaner than petrol cars and that's all we need. It doesn't have to absolutely clean to replace petrol cars. Besides, electricity doesn't always produce pollution because it can be produced not in oil plants but solar and renewables
Oh and there is the whole using up all the resources of the entire planet and becoming extinct or close to it problem........ Almost seems like we should put our energy into building things that last and developing clean renewable energy instead of trashing everything for short term profits and comfort. We can build stealth bombers and Tesla sports cars but not feed and house ourselves in a sustainable manner. We are spoiled children and there is no end in sight.
Two words NET ENERGY. Combine that with trying to replace fuel infrastructure and this concept is a joke in terms of replacing internal combustion in the mass market. What we really need a new way to produce electricity by tapping into geo thermal or solar in an efficient manner. Either source is clean and nearly unlimited. Until that happens electric cars are merely a novelty.
no matter what you put in, the same amount will come out. just not in the same form it was like wen it went in the first place. the volume of the material will be the same. however, the stuff we put in, is just or as worse that comes out such a gasoline. hydrogen by products are heat and water...which then returns back to the earth.however, since the hydrogen is burned, that means the oxygen is exhausted. and since it turns back into water, it means it taking hydrogen from the atmosphere.
theres many ways on producing electric but the main source would be using fossal fuels so how is this cleaner you say it cost's £0.90 per 80miles but if you think about it everyone using some sort of electric car instead of our petrol car's it would proberly use more of our fuels, i still believe Hydrogen is the way, it will never run out and it suites our life you drive fill up and drive some more.
If you charge the car with renewable energies then there are no fossil fuels used. and using hydrogen turns water into a fuel source like oil. We need clean water to drink and for the earth to hydrate and maintain environmental stability, not for our fucking cars. It takes twice the electricity to electrolyze hydrogen/water, than it does to charge a battery. Hydrogen is just another way for oil companies to take our money by supply and demand. do your research!
your not getting the point my friend untill electric cars become self charging when driving then you wouldnt need to worry about recharging or running out of electric while driving long distance
hahahaaa, true enough. But there is something called the laws of thermal dynamics....look up the laws.
I hope one day what you talk about is true. Many of these electrics do have ranges from 120 miles to 350 miles. But for now, lets make sure we move in the proper positive direction, spread knowledge and not turn water into oil.
Well, maybe they can replace gas stations with recharging stations :D I mean, an internal combustion engine definitely can't make it 120 to 350 miles without refueling...
You havent realized the ingenuity gap here. Would you rather have to go wait at a pump and pay a gas company to fill your car up with hydrogen or go home and plug it in at a solar charging station in your garage?
Fight OIL companies, fight the use of hydrogen!!! They are the ones pushing for hydrogen, and dont want you to charge your electric cars from your solar panels on your roof!
It takes electricity to produce it. it has to be electrolyzed from water. Therefore turning water into a fuel, and clean water is already a huge diminishing resource, due to pollution. Oil companies want a limited fuel source so they can continue to distribute fuel and control prices as they do now, taking our money and control of decision. Electric is the way to go, batteries can be recycled and we can charge them from the solar panels on our homes, or charging stations.
looking good but 6000 plus batts are those removed as a group to charge up or are u supposed to have a extention lead hanging out of the window over night :p
@Yehbytheway GM had a pure hydrogen car in the 1980's, M-B had pure hydrogen buses in the 90's. The oil companies were able to stop those vehicles from being mass produced, they will stop Honda's as well. Fuel cells keep being pushed off to make more money off crude oil. I welcome any and all modes of transport that pollute less.
you are wrong...do your research, these batteries can be recycled. And using Hydrogen will turn water into OIL. we seem to need water, so lets recycle Nickel Cadmium. The use of hydrogen will also take away the option to charge your car from renewable energy such as the sun. OIL companies want us to use hydrogen so they can distribute it to us and stay in the game.
So the uk enrgy spokesman Hilary Benn who said that we will use nuclear power to fuel electric cars and that we will bury the waste in the uk this will be a patriotic act to save the planet.
Pure hydrogen cars exist ,in California and Japan their is a hydrogen pump in most gas stations and it will be expanding throughout America and asia.
So it uses less energy as a ferrari.
Wow mega!!
ps cadium is the second most toxic natural substance after mercury
@Yehbytheway Cadium batteries can be recycled. and it is a natural occurring element. Therefor when handled properly is safer than oil and hydrogen. Oil companies want you to believe hydrogen is the future, because they want to distribute, manufacture it, while maintaining control over natural resources (water), power and your money. Nuclear wont be used to power your electric car,charge your car from solar on your roof. Japan and america have more shares/stakes in electric cars do your research
@Yehbytheway it takes exponentially more electricity/energy create hydrogen than it does oil. hydrogen is less efficient than oil, less powerful than electric motors. do your research on thermodynamics. electric cars have higher torque than hydrogen and gas, they are faster, perform better, require less maintenance and have higher ranger. get with the times, hydrogen will never work. it turns water into oil.
excellent and obviously chronically ill informed response. "Hydrogen just comes from water" is now becoming an endless chant from the petro-chemical industry, and it's working. People believe it. So what, you pour a glass of water into your car and it 'becomes hydrogen?' Where does the hydrogen come from, who is going to make it, how much energy does it use to make?
I am about to do a review of the Honda FX Clarity, the hydrogen powered car, I will try and answer that very big question
@Yehbytheway hahahaa....you are so wrong and so ignorant. Cadmium can be recycled and is not as toxic as you say. You want oil companies to maintain power, take your money and control natural resources such as water? Youre a fool! do some research. electric cars will be charged eventually from renewable sources.
HYDROGEN TURNS WATER INTO OIL!
but if you want to keep supporting oil companies who rape the world. feel free to be the cancer of humanity. tool!
The batteries in EVs are not cadmium based. They're lithium based, and most popular types are nontoxic. They don't get dumped either, they get recycled.
Honda does have a hydrogen car. It's $50,000, available in 2015, and goes 300 miles to a tank. The Tesla Model S will be available in 2011. It costs the same, goes 300 miles to the charge, and unlike the FCX clarity the infrastructure to charge it already exists.
but until we harness renewables we are pretty much fucked. wind, water, geothermal, and solar should be the only way to go. an endless, extremely powerful supply of energy that doesnt pollute. it seems unreal but it's under our noses.
like your laptop battery stops working properly after 2-3 years, your tesla car battery will do the same.battery industry deals with a lot of extremely harmful and toxic chemicals and materials..which honestly would be better left alone. if we all moved onto electric cars, then instead of having air pollution, we'd have all our water supplies contaminated by the growing battery industry. like you say the solution that seems best at the moment is a fusion reactor. that's the best power for money.
Do you think in the next 10 - 20 years we might be able to buy one of these battery/hydrogen cars for the same price of a nissan micra currently about £5000 on the market. thanks
@gpfwestie Even though we have 150 years of coal left it would probably be a bad idea to keep using as we do. I don't think the planet could sustain much more. It's time to change now. And to be honest batteries arent the best solution either, we might not have all the carbon dioxide and monoxide that we have now, but we'd end up with loads of heavy metals and acid waste , which would have to be disposed of properly (which is expensive) otherwise it could be worse or just as bad as fossil fuels
As for old batteries, those are recycled to produce new batteries. Coal is disgusting, it has a massive environmental cost from mine to stack which does not show up on the price tag.
Time for you to do a little more research. Lithium batteries are 100% recyclable, new battery tech being developed at high speed, totally agree with you on coal and oil, we need to get off the fossil addiction ASAP
dude i study this stuff. by disposed of properly i mean recycled. recycling these chemicals is expensive, so expensive that it would be cheaper to simply dump the old battery and buy a new one.
being realistic, in today's society what percentage of the population would do the right thing and recycle their battery, having the possibility of just getting a new one? also, the metals and acids used lose efficiency after repeated cycles, and need to be put through processes that pollute.
I cant think of anything better than pluging your car into your home for power, Forgetting the security of your charger (safety, and protection will come) I drive a 150bhp Astra CDTi, It's not amazingy fast but it shifts, If I had a car that did 250bhp and could charge up like my mobile phone which runs less that 31.7mpg like my astra I would be well happy!!
The argument about how the electricity is produced is really a non issue.
I already buy electricity that is produced using renewable's. Even if we don't go that route - we have 150 years of coal left and during that period fusion reactors will have arrived.
Just been doing a bit of reasearch on new battery tech. There are lithium iron phosphate batteries which have a much longer overall lifespan than lithium ion. Battery tech is growing massively lately and I think this is the future of motoring. Hydrogen is also another option for the power source by way of hydrogen cells which produce electricity from the hydrogen. If they find a good way of storing, distributing and making it efficiently that is.
Fossil fuels will run out or become so prohibitivley expensive that we can't use them any more. Science will find a way to do nuclear fusion for electricity generation eventually. Electric is here to stay, gas, petrol etc not so.
Thats impossible to create unless you make the motor and kinetic energy transfer method 100% effecient, also impossible as you lose some through air resistance and friction on the road
good milage but were i live it wouldnt be practical soposing you like i do livein Liberty city and you wanted to go to Los Santos yould have to caharge it 20 times dats 300 hours when you could be on the freeway on the offer hand hydrogen ICE like what powers the warthog concept runs on frozan hydrogen the engine has the same princibles as a gas/diesel engine but with 2 advantages ofer gas electric hyfrogen
Potentially a nice car.... BUT...... for a family car, the proportion of space available for batteries would seem to be lower & the drag co-efficient higher.
For me, the holy grail of electric cars would be
a) top speed @ 100 / cruise @ 80 - ie motorway competent.
b) seats 4 adults plus luggage
c) range 300 miles minimum fully loaded - 500 would be better (due to problems of "filling up" en route)
d) price not more than 10% above a comparable mass market vehicle.
and you can correct me here. This car costs over £100 000 right. oh come on, dream on. And also, where is the next gen' lithium coming from? get real!
I drive a Mitsubishi iMiev, still expensive at £25,000. All electric, costs 90p to drive 80 miles. The electricity can be generated in many ways, obviously renewable would be best. As for next gen batteries, there is more research going on right now which is game changing that I could possibly list. Not always lithium based. Come on! Do your research and get real!

the thing with electric cars, is that electric motors have always been known as the future, but batters have never really kept up, they have always taken forever to charge, which makes them impractical. it may be cheaper to run but as well as the usual wear and tear that costs money, the batteries can only take a so many charges before they stop working, and the replacement will cost a fortune. The research in battery powerd cars is pointless.

great enthusiasm and I share it. I also share the frustration and impatience with what should be instant progress.
on the positive side though the Tesla is only a glimmer of what is and will be possible with electric drive.
As the Racing Green Endurance team has indirectly shown with their converted Radical, an EV can readily have 1000+km range. They went more than 500km on a single charge with basic 90Wh/kg thundersky batteries so it stands to reason that it would do >1000 with 230Wh/kg cells

Yo people you guys should see the development of the electric car in perspective.
First of all, yes, electric cars existed. My RC car toy is an electric car, that used to be the popular perception of electric cars: useless powerless toys.
Second thing, the internal combustion engine is a old mature technology. The current electric car is still young in a early stages of development, and yet it can compete with the traditional cars. That is what is really exciting and how much potential it has.

@rock3tcat I would suggest that if any automotive technology will come to dominate in the next 10 to 15 years, it will have to be be electric powered. We don't really have any choice, all the research indicates that we passed pea oil (the maximum amount we can extract in any 1 year) around 2005. Fossil fuels are finite, extraordinary that I even have to suggest this it's so glaringly obvious. Basically it's electric cars or train, bus, bicycle and walking.

@rock3tcat the need for efficiency and nothing else. i dont think batteries will be the future way to store energy, since they rely on strip-mining large tracks of land to make the batteries and you still have the problem of generating the energy in a clean manner - but probably hydrogen with gen 3+ extreme high heat nuclear reactors providing the energy to make it. this is 20 years in the future tho. until then batteries are the best substitute

@desmonds22 There are batteries that you recharge with water. look up NoPoPo Water Powered Rechargeable batteries. The future is today & we keep fucking around with the past. Over 100 years and we still haven't replace the combustion engine? come on, wake the fuck up! We can run engines off of compressed air too which is also old technology that's been suppressed.

@rock3tcat the thing about electric cars you have to remember is that technically they derive their energy source from whatever the grid is using. So no matter whatever process a particular economy uses to make its energy, the cars will be able to utilize it. Hell, if people love gasonline so much, they could burn it at a plant, power it into the grid and technically an electric car would be able to use that too.

I think you'll find that electric motors are also very good at torque. What is likely to keep trucks on diesel is the sheer size of battery required to propel a fully loaded truck would be massively expensive(at the moment).

I think hydrogen will be used for trucks in the future because it can be used in ICE's. Trucks need massive amounts of torque and ICE's are very good at that.
Charles2337 1 year ago
@Charles2337 Actually ICEs have pathetic torque compared to electric motors. Electric motors perform the work of moving the train in diesel-electric locomotives simply because an ICE could never do the same job without some ridiculous transmission that would be incredibly impractical. Cost is the only reason trucks don't use electric traction motors and they would actually perform better if they did, plus the drivers would never have to change gears again.

I don't really agree with the 3 step vs many step approach to comparing hydrogen and electric fueling platforms. On a consumer level, its still just three steps; fuel up, stored and use. It doesn't really matter how it gets to the fuel up point, as long as it's clean and efficient, ie don't use coal power to make the electricity and theres no lose of energy when it gets to my car. Another thing to keep in mind is if the car is readily available... meaning, i don't have to wait 13 hours ...

The question is not how much oil is in the ground but rather how much can we get out before it takes a barrel to recover a barrel.

The argument about how the electricity is produced is really a non issue.
I already buy electricity that is produced using renewable's. Even if we don't go that route - we have 150 years of coal left and during that period fusion reactors will have arrived.

It would at the moment seem impossible
to keep enough charge in batteries, to
keep up with its output. Perhaps somekind of pulse or timing systems
kicking into a number of small generators
with flywheels (govenors) using kinetic energy from the flywheel's could reduce
the time factor for recharging.

Just been doing a bit of reasearch on new battery tech. There are lithium iron phosphate batteries which have a much longer overall lifespan than lithium ion. Battery tech is growing massively lately and I think this is the future of motoring. Hydrogen is also another option for the power source by way of hydrogen cells which produce electricity from the hydrogen. If they find a good way of storing, distributing and making it efficiently that is.

Fossil fuels will run out or become so prohibitivley expensive that we can't use them any more. Science will find a way to do nuclear fusion for electricity generation eventually. Electric is here to stay, gas, petrol etc not so.

will you be getting a Tesla, Rob?

It is annoying to see that the production of
electric cars is aimed at the rich and not
the mass market, were electric cars would be successful. A lot is not being done for some reason not to use the four
wheels, and belts inside the car to get
maximum Kinetic energy to recharge
batteries so they never have to be plugged into a supply. The Tessla seemed to offer this potential by the
ability to recharge the batteries.
WERE ARE THESE CARS GUYS.?

Thats impossible to create unless you make the motor and kinetic energy transfer method 100% effecient, also impossible as you lose some through air resistance and friction on the road

Potentially a nice car.... BUT...... for a family car, the proportion of space available for batteries would seem to be lower & the drag co-efficient higher.
For me, the holy grail of electric cars would be
a) top speed @ 100 / cruise @ 80 - ie motorway competent.
b) seats 4 adults plus luggage
c) range 300 miles minimum fully loaded - 500 would be better (due to problems of "filling up" en route)
d) price not more than 10% above a comparable mass market vehicle.
It must come one day

and you can correct me here. This car costs over £100 000 right. oh come on, dream on. And also, where is the next gen' lithium coming from? get real!
justwonnasay 2 years ago
I drive a Mitsubishi iMiev, still expensive at £25,000. All electric, costs 90p to drive 80 miles. The electricity can be generated in many ways, obviously renewable would be best. As for next gen batteries, there is more research going on right now which is game changing that I could possibly list. Not always lithium based. Come on! Do your research and get real!
