[EVDL] Tell Toyota what you think of their Fool cell vehicle

2015-04-23 Thread Robert Bruninga via EV
Earlier today, I got an email from Toyota promoting their Fool Cell vehicle (with no reply address). So I went to the Toyota web site and found the CONTACT link and filled out an on-line email telling them to stop throwing good money after bad in last years ideas (Fool cells) and to come out

[EVDL] Toyota FCV runs on Musk's bull$$it

2015-04-23 Thread Robert Bruninga via EV
You should also watch Toyota's new video which says the car can run on Elon Musk's bull$$it comments and show how they can take cow manure, and process it to hydrogen.. all they have to do is add steam and heat. DUH, No mention of what fossil fuel they are using to get that steam and heat?

I have the impression that no matter how hard we argue here until we are blue in the face (and it will edify some and give a solid background about *why* they are called fool cells) it will not sway much of the compliance car that Toyota is building (or the battery swap that Tesla is doing),

Bob, thanks for writing in about your effort and the response. It spurred me into action, I went there and submitted my thoughts on the Prius (I have an '02, and on the newest models), but more so on the FCV vs BEV debate. Perhaps many of us could sway them, eventually. Thanks again, -Chris

I think Ben's question still has merit, though. If you start with methane and take it down two paths, what is the difference in emissions and efficiency? The first path is burning the methane in an ICE. The second path is converting the methane to hydrogen and using it in a fuel cell. It
