Interesting thread Jim.
Apparently UK alone would need 3x Tesla Giga factories to make the required
batteries for current level UK car production......
Hydrogen power may well be more useful if metal hydride storage technology can
provide safe storage. Apparently if you inject Oxygen into oil/gas reservoirs you can
Extract Hydrogen. You can use some of the hydrogen to extract Oxygen from the air
But there’s a net gain of Hydrogen.
Hydrogen burns to form water in an internal combustion engine set up or can, with oxygen
Power electric fuel cells..
Not sure though how to make a network of thousands of hydrogen tanks and tankers safe enough?
Worth keeping an eye on these technologies, But petrol cars days are limited now I’m sure.
