Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

I bet the BIL will be a one time EV owner or a frustrated EV owner. The world is not keeping up with his expectations fast enough.

Just drive around with a 10kw portable generator strapped to the roof.... all good

Then again.... if various billionaires took the money they've blown on their space toys (massive levels of combustion are OK, if you're rich enough.....) and put it into more EV infrastructure instead, we'd be much further down this E road......

Do as I Say.......

A 240 volt outlet in your garage is a necessary EV accessory. If your garage is full of stuff, it's not hard to make up a 240 volt extension cord that will reach the driveway. Apartment dwellers who don't control their parking spaces will be out of luck, but it's not like apartment dwellers can afford a new car anyway. Landlords will eventually get around to installing charging stations, but it may be a decade or two.

Someone comes to visit me and expects me to charge their car? Yea, ain’t happening if I had the outlet.

Hyzon Plans 1,000-Mile Range Record for Its Hydrogen-Powered Heavy-Duty Truck

I like this group's way of thinking. Clearly EV battery supplies and technology are 10+ years away from meaningful meeting our energy needs for large trucks, buses, trains, planes, ships, etc.

Nearly half of oil and gas emissions could be cut without spending a penny

Flaring 60 years ago in a financial sense I got but the need for cost effective hydrogen changes my flaring views when I think about the health and wealth needs of the yet to be borned grandkids. I didn't know about satellite detection of gas leaks that could power millions of our homes.

Methane..... it's not just for Thunderdome plot elements.....

Saw the flare burning at the sewage treatment plant in the nearest city, as I drove by recently.

It's not like we are ever going to run out of that fuel source.....

Sounds like you may be starting a Gasing Up With Poop Power thread.

South Korean toilet turns excrement into power and digital currency

Man I think you are onto something.

Volkswagen and BMW fined $1 billion for running emissions cartel

EU courts move slowly. This could help Tesla deal with the forces working to slow their progress in Germany.

How do you know? I know a few "apartment dwellers" who could buy you and me and still have money left over for 3 EVs
Also goes to show how EVs are mostly a wealthy persons car. Poor people have to suffer paying gas taxes, while wealthy people with garages and 240V outlets get the EV's with government subsidies.
