The NOx pollution would be horrendous. Oxides of nitrogen (NO, NO2, etc.) form when air is heated, like in an engine (or in lightning, for example.) NOx is not particularly stable, so it later breaks down in sunlight in the presence of other pollutants to create ozone (O3). More NOX = more

A Leaf would be a way more cost effective candidate for conversion. Apparently the Mirai has a slightly more powerful motor (113kW vs. 80-90kW) but Leafs can be found for $5k or less with a shot battery (if you're considering doing your own battery anyways). -- Sent from:

Yes, "Soon" as geological ages go... I suspect that as soon as they solve the fool cell problems, battery tecnology will have advanced to the point where it still doesn't make sense. August 31, 2020 9:24 AM, "Willie via EV" wrote: > On 8/31/20 8:21 AM, Peter VanDerWal via EV wrote: > >> Are

How well would they work for a conversion ? They already have the motor and controller. Dump the FC, H2 tank, the existing small battery, and put in a battery. Is there space for that ? They may not sell at $20k. Watch the price come down. Peri << Want to know about the effects of leaf

Opps, missed the second part of your question. I suspect what you're seeing is the directory name, not the file name. Most web browsers won't display a file that doesn't end in '.htm' or '.html' they will try to download it instead. However, if your browser is pointed at a directory and
