They are fleet vehicles, probably company fuelled, so why bother? Personally I'd love to not have visit a petrol station.

Chippy there are millions of shares with the iis, were they to sell 100,000 it would recover them little and reduce their risk by the tinyest amount, so why bother? It's such small fry to them that I don't see their motivation to sell.

Chippy Jo, re the possibility of some bad news leaking. Consider how this would make the larger shareholders behave. Would they dump small numbers of shares? Dump the lot? Or do nothing. I'd argue its 3,they can't dump the lot as no one would buy, the amount they recoup by selling small qtys is irrelevant, so they sit and play the long game. What we are seeing is small numbers of shares (in the grand scheme of things), so it's not iis, or it's a minor one.

I'd also suggest that as the tide is predictable you'd adjust slow responding baseload generation to account for it's peaks and troughs, and not bother to store it.

Who buys 10? Is any of the data at all reliable?

@hurrayharry Can't actually recall asking the question, but 64pct round trip efficiency, so that's the cost of time shifting supply to demand, better than losing it, and that's the cost of making e portable. Not bad I suppose.

Who are you responding to.

What on earth is the y axis in that graph?

Only if they cannot sell the hydrogen for more than then cost of electricity produced.

I'm not sure of the point of footies, do sports teams care that much about who turns up? However, music events do care, they are trying to clamp down on the secondary market really hard, especially with increased ticket prices from touts. It's more fragmented, and footies could be the proof of concept but the audit trail for a concert ticket could allow for secondary market with price controls built in according to the artists wishes.

If its 30mins 200 miles into a 300 journey that's workable, as you don't have to be at the car, plug in, go for a pee, get a coffee that'll burn 20mins if you've got family with you. If it's every 100 miles, that doesn't work, but until tesla that's all there was. But instead of a services with a car park, they'll all be charging points, there'll be mega watts going into that location. So I'm not convinced, you may even need generation on site either green fuel or fuel cell to peak lopp at least.

Sorry rambled a bit.

It comes down to the energy density per kg, speed of charge, cost and the lifespan of batteries. If we cannot create a battery that is cheap enough and uses materials we actually have access to and does not destroy those materials, charges quickly enough with enough range to make semi spontaneous practical, whilst being small enough in terms of size and weight to be practical, then we need an alternative. This would be some kind of liquid energy store so it can be replaced quickly, solving both the speed and range problems. Tesla has shown it can just about be done, in terms of size, weight, speed of charge and range, but is the solution sustainable and have longevity? Further development will solve the first 4 conditions better, but the 5th remains. On the other hand fuel cells suffer from rare materials too. For some vehicles, long range trucks fit example, the charging time will be too long, whilst a car might get to 80pct in 30mins, a truck with 10x the capacity would take 6 hours, or a dedicated power station, here the speed of charge constraint has not been met. Ditto with buses etc, anything hauling a lot of weight, needs a lot of power therefore has extreme charge times. Anything with a variable weight would Benefit from the flexibility that it offers, imagine running out of charge, a truck pulls up to refuel you, much easier than one trying to recharge you.

Losses are in the range of 6pct to 9pct. I'd expect inefficient conversion to hydrogen, back to electricity and losses during storage to be more than this.

Think more localised rather than wholly localised, there will always be non local core generation. But instead of it being 99pct of production it'll be 70pct, certainly not 30pct. So it may cheapen housing that can't self generate as the bills would be higher depending on the cost of install of self generation.

I also have no problem with this. They are a sub con who has proven experience on something similar, and it is now proven that the price that they charge is something that the market can cope with.

Hi Sturm;

"but unfortunately I know of some who does not give a s###....."
This is gibberish.

"and the other one is jurassic and geriatric JR that with is silence does not allow us to get our money back and get out of this muppet style run company...."
This is also gibberish.

I know how to read, let me know when you have written something readable. Thanks!

Sturm there is nothing he is doing that is stopping you leaving, you are choosing not to leave.

All bike wheels for me

I think they are watching us, making odd trades, 1's and 2's, and seeing what we concoct, and having a good old laugh at what we come up with.
