Bang on!

The Transport Minister is quoting fleet owners being told they need to pay for a new Substation. Clearly if they need a Substation they will also need miles of new costly phase 3 cable laid, so we are already into the £1m+ territory. Then add that there is the planning delay for the substation and roadworks, and then there will be scheduling delays because the councils have like a 9 month list of work already lined up, and you can see why fleet owners are complaining directly or through trade associations to the Transport Minister. These fleets WANT to go electric, but are severely hampered by the poor infrastructure.

AFC + ABB is the Knight in shining armour that's coming soon to save the day for fleets.

Daz is just another trader con man that will post any BS if he thinks it will help him make a few quid, and he doesn't care if others lose money because of it. He might as well be a gypsy offering to tarmac your drive for £1000, claiming it'll last 20 years when he knows it'll only last 2 weeks.

Wilbur,

My reply to this news item from the other 2 times it's been posted last week. And why one Earth would AFC be mentioned in an AVIA PR release????

This is not actually an ABB project. They are partners in the project, but the project is primarily for H2 Energy and AVIA Osterwalder to use up the Swiss green Hydrogen, within Switzerland. This is not even planned to go global IMVHO.

From the bottom of the page, this is ABB's role in the project:

"ABB Switzerland supplies the charging technology and, with this commitment, expands the know-how at the interface of hydrogen and battery electromobility."

So carry on, nothing to see here!

Klunk,

I'm constantly looking at all markets, because ABB sell into 80 countries, however, this article highlights the very reasons the AFC EV Charger exists, and these reasons are clearly known at UK Transport Minister level.

The article also states that the Government will paying for 100 rapid chargers per month, so clearly if they need a substation and miles of cable with associated time and cost of roadworks, as some will, then the AFC + ABB EV Charger is an obvious alternative.

I have sent this info to AFC, so that they can purvey their alternative to the Transport Minister, just in case she's not heard our news already.

Taskmaster "Mostly 13amp sockets overnight for cars."

The article is about FLEET vehicles, not Joe Bloggs and his Renault Zoe.

He's not wrong. Far less bureaucracy in the UK than in the EU, where the self-interest of every country holds up everything.

EV charging infrastructure key to uptake, says transport minister

15/09/2021

With the ban on sales of new petrol/diesel cars and vans set for 2030, “we need to get to nine million in under nine years – that’s the target”, Maclean said.

Government was creating the conditions with plug-in grants and tax incentives, but “success rests on having an adequate infrastructure”, she added.

Over the next four years, it will invest £1.3 billion, with the current roll-out reaching 500 charge points a month, of which 100 are rapid chargers.

While van adoption was in a better position, there remained challenges over supply and concerns about bulk workplace charging infrastructure.

He described it as “ridiculous” that some companies were being told to pay for a local substation in order to transition their fleet to electric.

ABB are certainly gearing up fast in this area.

Extreme E generates €47m economic impact for first event

https://advanced-television.com/2021/09/15/extreme-e-generates-e47m-economic-impact-for-first-event/

Segedunum,

What you fail to appreciate is that many of these people work together, selling at the same time and buying at the same time, to make the biggest impact on the share price that they can, and thus maximise their gains as a collective.

As BB2 says, there have been big movements in the AFC SP over the years, and every time it's the same people posting the same c r a p before, during and after the movements, with masses of either positive or negative comments until their trade has paid off and they switch the other way.

I am sure that at least a couple of those on here work for institutions or are being passed information from someone that is, and they therefore know when there is a big buy order, sell order, placing, etc being worked. It's clear market abuse and very hard to prove, but it certainly is very consistent.

You only need look at what happened to Gamestop to see what stock traders can do if they club together. With secret chatrooms available on various platforms, including WhatsApp etc, it's easy for these people to gang up on a stock where they can influence the price up and down with their mass sells and buys, along with mass sentiment swings of discussion boards.

0.8p is clearly visible as the next resistance on the chart.

To that I should add that 1p is next resistance after that (from mid-2020 so may not even stop there), and then all the way to 1.5p (Q4 2019 and Q4 2020, was also up there in Q4 2018, so quite possible we will be there Q4 2021 as well).

News could drop on this any day now!!

"demonstration of a pre-commercial prototype of our new S-Series fuel cell stack in the second half of 2021"

In the half year results on 23 June 2021 AFC announced:

Commencement of scale up of manufacturing process for AlkaMem® anion exchange membrane ("AEM").

Our next generation S-Series technology, incorporating our AlkaMem® anion exchange membrane (AEM), represent the other two pillars of our technology range and opens up a range of new markets for the business including for Maritime and Transportation applications as a result of its superior power density whilst being significantly cheaper to run versus commercially available Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The opening of our world-class AEM research and testing facility at Dunsfold in February directly supports our roadmap for demonstration of a pre-commercial prototype of our new S-Series fuel cell stack in the second half of 2021, prior to the release of the first commercial stacks by the end of 2022. We therefore continue to be on schedule for this important work package.

Alkamem® also represents a significant commercial opportunity in its own right, given its potential use in a number of non-fuel cell applications including fuel synthesis, desalination and electrodialysis. Development work on AlkaMem® in 2021 has focused on enhancing the membrane's mechanical strength and stability in order to improve its end performance and we are continuing to prepare the membrane for third party uses in 2021. AFC Energy is also exploring other internal applications for the membrane which we as a company could exploit in the Hydrogen space, opening further sizable markets not previously considered by the Company with the intention of further growing shareholder value in this emerging growth market.

The appointment in May 2021 of Dr David B. Harvey as our new Chief Technology Officer was a further significant milestone in accelerating the development of our technology. Dr Harvey is a world recognised expert in the field of fuel cell technology and electrochemical systems having spent over a decade as Group Leader and Senior Research Engineer at Ballard Power Systems and Head of Fuel Cell Development at Fuel Cell Powertrain GmbH. His understanding of catalysts, membranes, advanced materials and cell / stack development is essential in further accelerating the commercialisation of both the S-Series system and Alkamem® and his appointment is a reflection of the tremendous progress we're continuing to make as a business.

They don't have a choice if they want to still be around in 10 years time.

They (and Lexus) are also still using their self charging BS to con people out of money. Self charging breaks the laws of Physics, it's a Hybrid, nothing more.

Well here we go, the second Urban-Air Port already signed up today! Only 198 to cross off the list, and by the time we get to 200 he'll probably have a list of a couple of thousand.

"Also announced by UAP today is a new deal with Munich Airport which will see it purchase at least one full scale, operational Urban-Air Port and collaborate on longer-term operational capabilities."

Toyota Fuel Cell, that means it's PEM and needs five nine's Hydrogen. It will need high pressure Hydrogen storage. So it's:

1) An expensive Fuel Cell (just look at the crazy price of the Mirai)
2) The most expensive Hydrogen
3) Expensive fuel storage

AFC can use cracked Ammonia, which does not need high pressure storage, so it's:

1) A cheap Fuel Cell
2) A cheap fuel
3) Cheap fuel storage

Truth is, ABB likely signed up to the Kvyreen pilot well before they discovered AFC, and until they integrated and tested the AFC system they wouldn't know exactly how that was going to pan out, so it's obvious they would continue with the Kvyreen pilot and compare the results against AFC's system.

Ricky Sandhu discusses his Urban-Air Port concept for eVTOL aircraft.
