Mr Vlad

And breath Linas. That took some reading but that post is full of sence.

Things are looking up towards green hydrogen and Sodium Ion batteries.

Now this video blew my mind.

Not really. The research and production of things like Sodium Ion batteries and green hydrogen are on the up and up and the demand for EV'S is slowing down because of the recent negatively showing towards them.

Ed. The buildings in the cities produce something like 20X more pollution than the cars in that city do. An affordable public transport system won't happen again until their propulsion methods are much greener. The use of green hydrogen,which as it happens is on the up and up slowly but surely, will help greatly towards public transport vehicles.

This is one thing I'm definitely gonna google to find out more to do with it.

More stuff found how ownership of a petrol car is cheaper than an EV. This video is from a well to do guy who has Porsche cars. Porsche Taycan service time 🫨

There are a couple of sites out there. Google something like how many of these were registered here.

Great posts James and Phil. Blimey. Who'd have thought it? One supposes with Mr Tesla dropping the price on his vehicles by quite a margin that the market on EV'S would suffer in the way it seems to be heading.

Oh Paul for heaven's sake get the Lexus UXe if you really need an EV. Don't get a vauxhall. Awful awful awful.

Excellent post Malc both funny and enlightening.

Sorry to learn your not feeling well at the moment John. Hope its nothing serious. Linas and Las Palmas John. Me thinks you two need to find a room lol.

Looks like it's still cheaper to drive petrol than an EV on a longish motorway journey using motorway services for both 'fuels'. Just posted a video on the relevant thread.

Back to the subject of this thread. Considering the price of fuel and charging rates nowadays this video is very surprising with its findings.

Mmmmm that's interesting VFR. I have the 322GW with the rear view camera attached (surprised how good the rear is considering its next to the rear view mirror). Mines hard wired and where its plugged into the unit is right up on the screen. What I reckon they do is take the camera off the mount and replace when done.

Yes I saw that article and another one similar. Too many judgemental folk putting down a power source they don't like on forums and the like.

At the end of the day it's a customer choice on what's available as far as buying a car. Bernard if you're concerned about how much money you'd lose on your next car which would take you to the age where you stop driving then that's mind boggling. Dontbyou have offspring who would like that car? I detest that clever clogs woman in that video. She is oh so condescending and blinkered.

It'll take a few fill ups for the ECU to settle the fuelling. A sticking caliper won't affect the cars idle speed.

Blimey John. You started this thread. Have you fallen into a deep sleep? Where's your input? 😁

Sorry Bernard but that video is over a year old and in that year so much has changed. That video stated it cost 80 dollars to fill with 6kg of hydrogen. I posted a much newer video where to fill a Toyota Mirai was the same as to fill a petrol equivalent. He mentioned 5 reasons why hydrogen has failed. But hydrogen hasn't failed. His first reason was Price. Irrelevant as its on par with similar ice cars. 2nd Convenience. Didn't watch from there onwards because I saw it was an old out of date video. But anyway convenience. As far as I'm concerned they're very convenient. 3rd Performance. You don't buy a car like the Mirai for Performance so this 3rd reason is a farce. 4th Environment. Crikey. Water comes out of the zorst. 5th Competition. Now that's a ruddy good point. Major manufacturers are in a kind of limbo nowadays I'd reckon what with new technologies regarding hydrogen manufacturer and electricity infrastructure not really up to thousands of high charge rate EV chargers and their lack of reliability. I've a lot of time on my hands being off on sick. I'm seeing the very latest videos on cars and how we are going to drive. I posted a video today what's the problem with EV'S. Watch it. My car is 15 years young. It'll still be on the road in 15 years time God willing with my health and life. Can't see an EV from today on the road in 30 years time. It'll be a totally new power to propel cars.

Yes hydrogen is steadily getting talked about more but in an industrial manner and logistics. Below is an interesting video comparing old and new.

Just watched this very interesting video. Make sure you've got a cuppa and a snack. Sit and enjoy

Yes. Me thinks I may have slightly gotvtge wrong end of the stick so to speak.

Mmmmmm. I'm not so sure about those purchasing, by whatever means, an EV will get stung because of the growth of technology. EV'S are here to stay. However they're Not the answer to pollution. They are only part of the answer. Hydrogen will again only be part of answer. I wonder what the latest is now between running cost comparisons between petrol/diesel and EV.

I'm sorry you had to lay off staff during covid Malc. Not sure what your business was/is But on the flip side I worked for a company delivering fruit and veg to schools. 95% of the business went. Did my employer lay any of us off? NO. Why? Coz he got the government pay scheme thing. Why didn't you? Things are changing on what seems to be on a weekly basis. Innovations are coming out on hydrogen manufacturer. Someone is asking for an actual personal comparison between an EV and the Toyota Mirai. Contact James May. He's had one and a tesla.
