| Quote: | |  | | | "Fast charging station" is a misnomer: the fastest charging A/C is 11kWh (with 3 phase). Fast charging is D/C and anywhere from 50-250kWh and only available at Tesla Superchargers, Ionoty etc. Not domestically. | | | | | kW, NOT kWh!

Tripped over a cable running across the pavement from a flat to a EV the other day.
There was a recent discussion from management in the company about getting EVīs as company cars for the techies.
Until we pointed out that we drive hundreds of Kmīs and simply donīt have time to plug the thing in and go for a coffee while it charges.
Even if the politicians are pushing the EV, I simply donīt see them being used in a working environment.
Maybe if you think you need a second car to nip down to the shops, or want to feel all warm and fuzzy about the planet, why not.

Isn't this the belleza device? a power bank capable to run your household electricity for hours, portable and charges from sunlight  https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product...banks-14379556  |

You all make a good case for a hydrogen-driven car.
Efficient fuel, short tank filling times, longer distances.
Of course, costs are higher too.  |

It also cost less than 1/3 the price of this (including the inverter and solar interface).

Where does the energy to do that come from?

I can see a lot of tradesmen who could use them, they have a drive to whichever site they're on for the day and the vehicle stays there until the evening. Just need the initial outlay to be cheaper.

How about this one? they (the promo video) claims it can charge a Tesla for 7.5 miles and is also solar powered. To fill the 545e BMW I would need to go back and forth about 6 times ... a nice workout: https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product...banks-14379515

Of course, costs are higher too. | | | | | Very difficult to store/transport H2, that's why its use (build up of infrastructure) around here targets 40-ton trucks with their high throughput, and H2 production is close by the respective gas station. The metals needed for the H2 fuel cell catalysators limit its use further, there's simply not enough of them to, say, have all cars be H2-based.
And if you convert H2 to CxHx (even if just for storage) your energy efficiency is bound to drop in the cellar.
