Who is ready to buy a Toyota Mirai?

No thanks

I think I would rather that than an ev.

 

[lilduke]

Where you fueling it up?

1 place in Alberta... can plug in a ev any where and the good ones are fast.

I mean by 2050 when they force us to not use gas or diesel.

How come?

Lots could change by 2050.

The ultimate vehicle would be electric with no battery and wireless power. Just need some source of unlimited energy. Tap the power of lighting bolts some how.

Edison motors has the right idea IMO

Here are a couple of fuel cells to play with to see if the tech is good for generating electrical power.

Not sure. I like EVs but I don't like the dependability of the grid. If I do go full solar in a few years, that could be different.

Hydrogen is still ICE and we know ICE right now. As technology changes and batteries get better, my opinion will probably change

Natural gas explosion, big scary fire, this shouldn't go to peoples homes lol. Technology has come a little ways since the early 1900's

I have a friend who is off grid and uses solar and batteries, its very unreliable. He still has to have a diesel generator and batteries only last about 7yrs and they are life cycled out.

I agree that in all reality hydrogen would be the most logical next step so the electrical system can be updated to future demands.

I have a good friend who’s a multi millionnaire. He has many companies. One of his big ones is heading up pretty much every solar project in Alberta. Down south Alberta and pretty much all over. Those are his jobs. He lives in Cochrane and a big fawk you sized mansion. Not one panel on his roof. Horse stables, massive house big shops, all on power and gas. He is in the business and could write off a wicked panel set up Yet he doesn’t have it.

Ya lots of us won't be 6' above the ground

Not surprising, and batteries have skyrocketed in price, the last time he replaced the batteries it was around 8K.......way more than being on the grid would have cost, and this doesn't account for generator maintenance or diesel that runs at least 1500hrs a year due cloudy conditions or more power than the batteries can produce.

At least hydrogen would give a person some range, up here going north an electric vehicle is useless. There are no grid power from 101 to Ft Nelson. No grid power from Ft Nelson to Watson lake etc.

Burning Hydrogen produces h2o. That's a win.

Over the course of a full year how many days are you usually without power?

Hydrogen stored at 10,000 psi in an automobile, what could go wrong?

My money is on EVs for passenger vehicles.

Although hydrogen makes sense for large commercial trucks.
