Battery vs. fuel cell HAS to be complementary. Pure Battery power means that you can go as far as the range allows, and then no more.
You need to recharge. Which with current technology takes quite a while....a long while!
Imagine living in a street where there's no off road parking. How DO you charge your vehicle so you can use it the next day?
Local lamposts?
Jockeying for the available charge points from lamposts?. It's really a no-go situation.
Meanwhile Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are very clean and energy complient, but need a wide network of refueling stations. Easy to refil within minutes, but ( at the moment) difficult to find somwhere to refill.
Cue hybrid technology. NO... Not hybrid petrol/battery....
Hybrid battery, with support from fuel cells.
Range extenders...
Use your EV but ensure you can achieve the range by employing fuel cell technology.
By hydrogen power, or LPG power, or offshore ethane (natural gas) power. This is where Ceres holds all the cards.
Flexible technology. Carbon generating natural fuels or clean hydrogen all get a "can do" from Ceres.
There's so much in the press about EV but there's no real analysis of the implications.
That's why my investments are in EV and Fuel Cells.......
