The batteries catching fire is already a lower probability fault and it will improve. Far lower than fires with gasoline. I think these two safety issues, battery fires and H tanks blowing up are non-problems that have effective tech fixes.Transporting energy to individual cars is not much to

Well, what he is proposing in that video is just a means of storage, and appears to have nothing to do with how it is produced or what you produce it with. As far as production of hydrogen is concerned, “dirty methane” is used less and less. It’s been several years already that the industry

Numbers help. For instance, an experimental Toyota Camry with three carbon wound hydrogen tanks was filled to "700 bar" with hydrogen for a range of 300 miles. Nobody who wants to convey pressure to the general public uses bars. It is always PSI. 700 bar translates to 5 tons per square inch in

I’m assuming that lead acid is cheaper than comparable lithium. In a riding mower, weight is of little concern, so lead is much more cost effective. If the mower has any accessories such as a blade, then the added weight is an advantage - my ElecTrak is very heavy and so has lots of traction.
