politics aside, I'm actually looking forward to this.
specifically, I'm looking forward to enough hydrogen refueling stations + lower cost of hydrogen due to economies of scale to have it become the next viable electric car. people keep thinking electric cars involve recharging from the grid... hydrogen powered fuel cells are electric cars, but can refuel just as quick as gasoline cars. that will be the big thing.. a car running on a renewable resource. I hope there will be large scale hydrogen production from plants powered by solar farms, it's something that needs consumer demand to make happen. The 2nd generation Mirai is pretty much on my short list of cars to buy in the near future, along with perhaps the Volvo V60 Cross Country should there be a T8 or Polestar variant. |

An EV can be potentially cheaper to own when all expenses are included and metrics are equal, and when $25k EVs hit the market, the case for the EV for most drivers will be obvious. Don’t forget about the used car market for EVs. Used EVs will be cheaper and a compelling option. They offer reliability even at high mileage, and with over-the-air updates, they could be a good option.

Recharging is already capable of adding enough range, and it will only get faster. Tesla’s version 3 superchargers can add 75 miles in 5 minutes. Lucid says they can add 300 miles in 20 minutes on their new car. Where will it be in fifteen years? If we have self-driving cars then what is another 20 minutes at an automated charging station on that cross country road trip when you are watching your movie or playing your VR game or sleeping in your car during the process? Try comparing the Mirai to a Model 3. I don’t see a compelling reason to be excited about the Mirai, but I like your enthusiasm. https://www.google.com/amp/s/insidee...ota-mirai/amp/

As far as haulers, that's where hydrogen comes in. Same for aircraft. In fact, Airbus is committed to bringing out three hydrogen fueled aircraft which makes infinitely more sense then a battery powered one (do you want to wait for a 747 sized plane to have it's batteries recharged?) I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I don't give a crap one way or the other what powers my car (electric, hydrogen, nano-diamond atomic batteries, unicorn tears) as long as I can get in it, and drive it anywhere I want the way I can my ICE fleet.

That's one of the reasons why I was one team Hydrogen. That plus I like an underdog particularly when its a better tech. I owned laserdiscs and betamax recorders too.

Temperature is only one measure of "change", but fwiw it took ~10,000 years, from 20,000 BCE to 9,000 BCE for temps to rise a bit more than 4C to modern "normal" temps. We're now looking at that kind of temperature rise over a 100-200 year time frame. https://xkcd.com/1732/ |

We're saying the same thing, I'm just choosing not to be argumentative about it.

The battery level in that screen shot is actual representation of the state of CA

What are you even talking about? Even in a week of prolonged 105° with high night temperatures there were not rolling blackouts.
The economy of energy production matters. A power plant using ff to generate electricity isn’t equivalent to the x number of vehicles making the same power. |
