Sure, that question has merit. I only answered his first question. But the emissions I was particularly referring to were combustion emissions at the tailpipe...not CO2 emissions, which certainly are of relevance. But when the ZEV standards were adopted, the driver was nonattainment criteria

A really good initial road test report and I hope they sell plenty of them. The price of £17,000 on the road complete with battery must make them cost effective and a must for local delivery fleets. Commonality with the Leaf is the way to go. No wonder the Ford Connect EV went belly up as they

... it seems to me that converting the methane to H2 has to have the same emissions at the plant that you would get at the tailpipe when burning the methane in an ICE. Efficiency also includes economics of hardware. Yes, We will have H2 (mostly from excess peak solar and wind dumping), but it

I always ask myself the same question, why is hydrogen still being touted as the next fuel? Who would wish to drive around with a hydrogen tank in the back pressurised to 10,000 psi? We have all seen the photo's of Tesla's batteries burning after an accident but at least the car has time to

my 2 cents:  Seems to me that using methane to make H2 to run in a car isn't very compelling. Why bother since it is so easy to just use a CNG car?  Even if it was a few percentage pointsmore efficient..and that's far from certain,  It doesn't seem worth it.   If you really cared
