Somebody needs to go and see procurement quickly... Maybe the new Avalon/Redt guys will have a word... Aren't RedT working with Hive?

A must read article kn view of discussions on here today...

PG.. The market is enormous and there will be plenty of room for many different energy storage methods and it will probable settle down to proximity and availability of resources.
We will be in a sorry state if the World's energy storage is beholding to one company/technology like Tesla.
As I posted a couple of days ago, light weight solar panels are now coming to market and these can be installed on existing commercial buildings where the roof wasn't strong enough to support the heavier glass panels... The adds a huge new retro fit market for both solar and battery storage.
In France all new commercial building must generate a certain percentage of their energy usage.
Safety will be a big factor in decision making but so will risk assessment together with costs, ease of installation, maintenance, life span, expansion, end of life replacement/recycling and in some of these areas VRFBs will be a better choice.

We have a 4x4 and a sports car... I rest my case!!!

Haha... Just thought I'd stir it up a bit...

And this post from a forum in 2017 and the reference is to Richard Hammond super car crash after Swiss hill climb challenge where battery kept reigniting over a 3 day period.

'Firefighter here. I attended a Tesla training in which they actually rolled over one of their $100,000+ cars and showed us what's what. They build in battery and electrical disconnect points for us to use during the extrication (read: destruction) process, but when a car is as badly damaged as Hammond's, they may not be accessible. The best bet is to enter a defensive mode, let it burn and just focus on keeping the fire from spreading to exposures (vegetation, structures, etc.). This is one of the many aspects of modernity that's making us rethink the "smash and spray" mentality of the past. I wouldn't say we hate electric cars because a good fireman likes a good challenge, but the amount of resources and time they consume (5 days?!?) make them expensive. If you want to talk about scary for firefighters, let's talk hydrogen fuel cells...'

So the question is how man tow trucks would be happy to remove an EV with badly damaged battery pack which had caught fire from the accident site...

Been not be.. Grrr

Ophidian... Sorry didn't make myself clear.. The RNS said docs by 16 March so they could be submitted sooner I guess at which point trading commences with completion expected end March...over the next couple of months should have be in a couple of months. Head not fully engaged...

Again thanks Ophidian and Alfa... I kinda read it that way hense using 'if' in my posts...
Anyway we got the update and now have a timescale confirmation.
It'll be interesting to see how the RedT SP moves over the next couple of months.

Thanks Ophidian... Hopefully it won't be too long now...battery orders to fill and customers to keep happy... Especially on the RedT side...they too must be in limbo too and we don't want them taking their current/potential business elsewhere!!!

No doubt they will learn from it and so will the industry as a whole...

If news due today to avoid delisting... Would they wait until US to open?
Having read the AIM rules re RTO/merger I'm still not totally clear if this merger requires shareholder vote or not and whether or not the details in the Merger RNS are enough to satisfy notification rules to prevent delisting after 6 months.

Interesting recycling concept.. Using new and old oil tanks for vrfbs...

Sunman on ebay...

Will we ever see VRFBs on ebay too... Plug and go.
It's only natural for the market to try and come up with an alternative to the likes of Tesla/IKEA...

How many owners of commercial buildings will be looking to install this light weight system together with a battery on a lease deal. As I said the overall PV/battery market just got a lot bigger. Some big commercial roof tops in Africa too...

Not sure if the pdf report in this link tells us anything...

The potential market for battery storage just got a whole lot bigger... https://newatlas.com/sunman-earche-light-flexible-solar-panel/61077/?amp=true

Ophidian.. Sorry I forgot to add the link the quote was taken from.

Yes I understand your comment, I was just highlighting the fact VisBlue is targetting home storage with their small unit. Energy source could be solar or even back yard turbine or both perhaps in a community set up. Not sure how their costs play out against Lithium at this point though.

If any of you have any strong leanings towards who might be our next target investment why not start new thread headed 'guess' and post name of the company and short reason why. These posts can then be voted on...
