Mark, Why myth of quick refill? Because you need to drive 20 minutes to reach the nearest H2 refueling station *if* there is one in town. Going across the street for half hour Level 3 DC Fast Charge is much quicker than the “convenience” of a “quick” H2 refill and the most convenient refill is pulling into your garage, grabbing the 240V plug and sticking it in until the next morning when the “tank” is again full of electrons, preferably home produced solar originating. That scenario (power companies and solar home owners) taking over the lucrative fossil fuel industry is scaring the oil companies to no end. Their only game is convincing authorities that H2 is the way forward and that is the only reason that millions are poured into building an already obsolete infrastructure, as there are virtually no cars able to use it now nor planned to use it in future. Big waste of taxpayer dollars. But I do not need to tell you this, you know it and you reject that reality, we’ve been there before. You have chosen Hydrogen as the solution and are promoting it to absurd ends, including your Fuel cell powered cell phone!
Let’s do right to the EVDL and talk about electric cars. Ripping the H2 tanks and fuel cell out of a Mirai as I saw some guys do, makes it a whole lot more useful as daily driver and there is plenty space for batteries instead of just the “Hybrid” pack needed to buffer the fuel cell. But there are hundreds of EV models planned, so no need to convert one of the few H2 cars on the road today, they will be returned at the end of their lease and then it is mostly Toyota who will need to eat the consequences of their choice for H2. Unfortunately I can’t go to govt to claim my taxes back for subsidies wasted on Hydrogen infrastructure. However, I can help to build the EV Charging infrastructure of the future and that is exactly what I am doing right now. Regards, Cor.

This is the myth big business wants to purvey.” This statement puzzles me. Hydrogen DOES offer a quick refill, similar to a gasoline refill. In fact, the industry spent a lot to make the experience to consumers as close to a gas refill as possible. Why do you think that’s a myth? - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Dec 14, 2018, at 10:29 AM, Lawrence Rhodes via EV <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I think the idea is that it > takes too long to recharge an EV and that hydrogen offers the convenience > of a quick refuel; similar to an ICE refill. > This is the myth big business wants to purvey. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
