Fast ? Haha haha
We’ve been on the cusp for 2 years.
The only thing AFC do fast is pay themselves bonuses and raise equity

not much different to the power used to drill for oil, refine it, ship it half way around the world

Alternatively hire a PR firm to do all this for you

Frustrated mode Bumble, not mischievous. When Apple release a new iPhone they have people queuing up to buy it, why ?
Because they have been releasing news of what features it will have in advance, ballpark pricing information will be made available, this is no different to how companies manufacture new products that they release to the market.
In AFC's case, either they have been doing this already but no-one is interested or
they haven't been doing it in which case it's a disgrace, either way we should be seeing orders now, not in 3-6 months time as has been suggested.

If AFC have only started commercial discussions after the launch in December then what was the point of showing it to the world in Jan 2019 ?

The EV charger was launched on the 17th Jan 2019 so a year ago and everyone is saying ooh give them a few more months lol

Chippy, i think the general feeling is other hydrogen stocks are racing ahead (not that i look at other hydrogen stocks) even though it is only the 2nd week in Jan and AFC are still in the starting blocks, the blocks are looking a bit rusty by now.
I must admit the chart is starting to look promising again though, we've got a bit of an upwards curve building.

when the order is placed is irrelevant, import duty is payable funnily enoughh, on import....

Haggis, if a an EU company, for example Siemens, had a similar solution to AFc then it's highly likely the EU would impose tariffs on the UK to protect their own market.

In the 2019 Petrol Retailers Association annual review, Steve Rodell, managing director, retail at Christie & Co wrote: “Recent reports of modest increases in electric vehicles (EVs) sales and a consumer preference for hybrid vehicles (electric and petrol), show a lack of consumer confidence in pure electric.”
“Retailers are therefore currently reluctant to invest heavily in EV charging ports. While some are slowly testing new technologies and investing in low voltage single charging ports, many are still unconvinced of the financial return on rapid charging, which usually requires a hefty investment in grid connection.”
The expense of the installation of rapid charging isn’t expected to return given the current minority of electric car drivers. Rodell cites continuing range anxiety as a major roadblock to the adoption of electric cars.

He also goes on to highlight the sacrifices retailers would have to make in terms of parking, in favour of electric vehicle charging points. There are worries of how on-sight retailers would be affected in terms of footfall.

Drawdown to pay Adams annual bonus ?

£440k is that correct ? For a company that has so far generated no income ?

From the recent comms it sounded like the sales dept were snowed under with enquiries so hopefully they are cherry picking the very best ones at the moment

Reonin, that was my point. How long before EVs are seen as dirty and hydrogen cars are the next push by government ? Lithium mining is effectively being tax breaks for being green, work that one out

Newsboy, no, it was mentioned on Top gear earlier this year, I haven’t looked into it any further and just mentioned it on here as I knew a few have EVs and would get an answer from someone with first hand experience. The replies I’ve had have been useful to know.

Isn’t the big push towards EVs just more government propaganda seeing as they are only green at the point of use, the electricity could still come from nuclear or gas fired power, the government love them though because they cost a lot more to buy giving them more vat. Also the early Nissan Leaf EV cars are already write offs because their range has reduced to around 40 miles. I wonder if how long the batteries on a Tesla will hold their charge in a few years, could be a very expensive mistake buying one.

Happy Christmas all and a prosperous new year :)
Apologies for being so critical and impatient and may we all be rewarded in 2020. We’ll done all those who keep the faith, you have helped stop me from selling out !

You have to admit though that a transparent funding deal with a well respected institution would have been much more favourable than what we have at present. Maybe that will come in the new year.

you're

Bumble, it's easy when you've investing other people's money
