George, Please try to imagine the specs that this vehicle is supposed to achieve. For sustained 300 km/h you need in the order of 250 kW continuous at minimum and while that is possible with a Tesla with its mega battery pack, it is not usual for other vehicles to be able to do this. In fact, the website actually says that all performance EVs have trouble with cooling since motor and battery heat up during fast acceleration, but somehow by magic they claim that this 48 Volt drivetrain does not suffer from excessive heating during their top-performance acceleration! That is not just ignoring the Laws of Physics, it is actually directly contradicting them! The claim is 2.4 sec 0-60 time in a low slung 4-seater car. And they indicate that they need 6 fuel cells working in parallel (they say "series") to give the power to make this acceleration happen and increase the range - which apparently also means 6 storage tanks. (range for a fuel cell comes from its storage). Please tell me where in that sleek prototype you would be able to hide 6 storage tanks as well as 6 fuel cells and the controllers to send 5,000 Amps to the motor(s) via arm-thick cables.... It is not just unlikely, it is simply an exercise in futility. It is typical investor-bait to show sleek renders, a partial completed foam model prototype, almost-impossible specs that (on paper) compete with the best technology and engineering in the field and on top of that to introduce a host of non-existent problems that you are solving without mentioning how you are solving the real problems, such as fuel cells needing a sizeable battery to account for peak performance, since fuel cells are typically dimensioned for average power output, to reduce cost and size and weight. Look at the Toyota Mirai - it has a large bulk to allow all the technology required for the fuel cell to find a spot in a car and it certainly is not a supercar. How can you shoe-horn 6 times that system into a sleek sports car? Not gonna happen. But I suggest you do your own due diligence, I have seen more than enough red flags from this singer-turned-inventor-turned-solarcar-fraudster that I will stop wasting my energy on his claims right now.

Some time ago I discussed a system on here this was similar in a way, trying to reduce the number of cells. I talkinged about going all the way, ONE cell. 10,000 Amps at 4V for an exercise. There are fets now that are 1mOhm or below, I had many phases in my proposal, so does this. Many phases will be on at the same time, so effectively in parallel. The fact that they talk of 45 phases makes me reluctance to call "scam!", It may be real. -----Original Message----- From: EV [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peri Hartman via EV Sent: 17 February, 2017 4:47 AM To: Matthew Quitter; Electric Vehicle Discussion List Subject: Re: [EVDL] Any truth in these claims? I'm skeptical. At 48 volts, you would either need lots of systems working in parallel, each with their own motor or you would need cables the size of a bench press world champion's arms. The voltage that various EV manufacturers choose has nothing to do with the source of electricity (it has everything to do with the losses due to high current), so you have to figure that they aren't telling the complete story. They don't mention anything about sitting on a stack of hydrogen tanks or where the hydrogen comes from, either.
