Although I'd rather just see more nuclear plants and then they can do whatever they want with the dams. |

I say it's a political question because if mandates were not a thing it's a none issue. Can't charge at home? Don't buy an EV. Have a family of 4 to lug around? Don't buy a miata. Now if you have the ability to charge at home, which I fortunately do, I think they can be great vehicles and better than ICE in many ways (at least Tesla which is all I have experience with). |

How many expensive lessons ppl need to learn before they know they are stupid Worse, they are burning our tax money. Menlo Park Police Department’s Tesla patrol vehicle pilot finds that Teslas don’t appear to be ‘patrol cars of the future’

That said, I think a more substantial battery pack makes sense. Something that allows for 30iles of range or so. Then you're gonna have a high percentage of people able to plug in and charge and not need to generate their own electricity onboard. But for that to really matter a whole lot you have to have clean (nuclear) power generation. |

Yeah, but you can park a gasoline car in a garage.

But my design is not a plug-in. Hit the start button and drive away, refuel in a few minutes to replenish the 6 gallons of gas needed to drive 400+ miles.

But the H2 boils off no matter what.

Sure, but in an enclosed space its an extreme explosion hazard (because it has to gas off). This is why hydrogen vehicles cannot be parked in a garage. Hydrogen is crazy impractical for small scale/autos.

Agree. I was discussing more of the impracticality of H2 as a fuel because it doesn't store very well. I guess one could install a liquid nitrogen tank and set up a cryogenic cooling system to keep the H2 cold so it wouldn't boil off so easily. But then that's getting a bit complicated...

Hydrogen can be "packaged" into powders for use. They did it for fuel cells like over a decade ago, and theres a more industrial scale version now that can be used to transport/ship it. You could store it as dihydrogen monoxide and split it out, but that substance kills a lot of people every year. |
