Ok Billions,
You think the whole world is going to go PURE EV then think again.......
EV's are a viable option (now) if you live and work anywhere near a city but beyond that they are flawed.
Stop at a motorway service station for an hour and watch just how many vehicles stop for fuel, yes some of this could be avoided with better forward planning by motorists, but it is just not viable to have to stop for an hour (minimum) just to top up your battery!
Please also note that the manufacturers quoted ranges are "theoretical maximums" and will never be achieved on the road and will only be worse in winter conditions!
It will be interesting to see how freight transport gets on! How big would the battery need to be for an articulated vehicle, these also tend to be working for 9/10 hours per day!
As I mentioned earlier, did you look into shipping?
The future WILL BE hydrogen fuel cell / battery hybrid.
Anyway I have my thoughts, you have yours,
Goodluck!
Demand for precious metals will increase from car manufacturers in early 2021. With South African miners scaling back on new projects, it may take six to seven years for the nations palladium output to recover. Russia mining industry however will gain a larger market share and with Eurasia Mining currently up for sale for an estimated 7 billion US dollars could this be the ideal moment for Norilsk Nickel to acquire Eurasia Mining? Some in the industry think so, others believe China may buy in whole, or part. Whoever buys Eurasia Mining knows the resource in the ground will be in high demand.
I have seen the light. The future is darkness. There is no point in trying to improve anything. If it isn't efficient in 2021 then just stop. Give up. There is no point.
EUA don't have anything worth digging. It can't be used for anything. The huge increase in price and demand is a fallacy.

Honestly? The above is how this board reads at times.
I encourage people to question, to take a contrary view, to research both the positives and the negatives of an investment. However... please, please, please, please change the record. We have heard this one. It sucks and there is no substance to it.
If you want to contribute post something thought out, referenced and logical. I am sure that would be a better way to get a proper discussion than the ridiculous hyperbola that escapes from orifices unknown.
First of today's big buys just come in
Bumble, we were never talking about petrol cars though were we. We were compared evs with fcev and the use of pgms.
The latter are forecasted to be 1m vehicles by 2030. Compare with 70m cars produced annually presently. Hardly significant. It's a niche and has no bearing in eua.
If batters evs have problems, than hydrogen has an extremely long way to go.
He is the ''Dictator'' :~)
Billions...........
A hydrogen fuel cell hybrid engine is TWICE as efficient as a petrol hybrid.... Fact
EV's are more efficient BUT EV's have inherent issues with range, charging and the usable life of the batteries is relatively unknown.
Petrol / hybrid vehicles "solve" the issue of range but these will eventually stop production.
Hydrogen fuel cell will replace the petrol engine aspect of these vehicles and will in effect become the charging unit.
I don't care whether you are invested in this share or not but I know which side of the fence i'm putting my money on!
In answer to Elon Musk 50% efficiency on free power from solar cells may end up a darn sight more commercially attractive than the cost and short term life of lithium-ion batteries. In short, the inefficiency of hydrogen creation will outweigh the inefficiency of battery production and degradation. And that's before the argument of charge time and range of battery cars is considered. Elon is wrong, probably intentionally so through commercial bias.
One new fast breed reactor nuclear power station would provide more than enough energy to produce cheap hydrogen for the whole country. Ask Japan
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz billions.
Spends his life on a company he doesn't believe in trying to save everyone else, from making a fortune!
I think Siemens might know a thing or two about the matter - https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/offerings/renewable-energy/hydrogen-solutions.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwp86EBhD7ARIsAFkgaki6PW9kOZtJV5HR_XnIO_XghrM0YG0dD2KRsuaCgUg-HqRuoaamhwYaAsk6EALw_wcB
Fred stick to the dancing. Fcev are a poc, auto will never be the mass use. Only posters on this BB link pgms to evs. Which is plain wrong and nonsense like much of what is spouted.
Elon musk on hydrogen. Think he know a thing or two:
"Hydrogen is an energy storage mechanism. It is not a source of energy. So you have to get that hydrogen from somewhere. if you get that hydrogen from water, so you’re splitting H20, electrolysis is extremely inefficient as an energy process…. if you say took a solar panel and use the energy from that to just charge a battery pack directly, compared to try to split water, take the hydrogen, dump the oxygen, compress the hydrogen to an extremely high pressure (or liquefy it) and then put it in a car and run a fuel-cell, it is about half the efficiency, it’s terrible. Why would you do that? It makes no sense,”
Billions
You need to get on to the Japanese quickly and put them on the right future track. I’m sure they will take notice of your expertise
Dealer, only thing your post proves is that you still need reading lessons!!
The talk was about fuel cell evs. The engine you mention uses li-ion battery hybrid. The likes of which don't use PGMs.
Bumble this is nonsense. I know my evs and chemistry. The fuel cell vehicles are a fraction of the total cars produced less than 10k.
The grid to road efficiency is less than 35% for fcev. This is less than half normal evs. Hydrogen is only available naturally in bonded form. Its need to be split to hydrogen, then compressed stored and transported. Then it is converted back to electricity the in car. To produce 35kwh you need 100kwh of power.
The research and facts are unfortunately lacking on this matter and many other areas on this BB.
Proves why debates with these idiots is pointless they can’t even back up basics. And they only need 2 mins on google. The most efficient combustion engines are the 1.6 v6 used in F1 since 2014 and they are about 50% efficient using hybrid gubbins and some.
Billions..............
I noticed an earlier posting by yourself when you stated that fuel cells were highly inefficient.
I would suggest you spend your afternoon looking at just how efficient hydrogen fuel cells ARE, and just how inefficient modern petrol engines ARE.
EV's are a good idea in general but they have a SERIOUS problem in so much that they need recharging!
A hybrid vehicle where a hydrogen fuel cell powers the battery (like a petrol hybrid) IS the future!
Whilst your at it take a look at shipping, we will NOT be having EV ships.
I can see where this is heading, I suggest you jump onboard!
