With 600 trucks to charge in Oslo, they will need a lot of power that may not be available.

"Grocery wholesaler ASKO currently has 600 trucks on the road each day and has a goal to achieve zero emissions distribution of groceries by 2026."

We've already seen the news a while back about Motorway Services not having enough power for provisioning Rapid EV Chargers. Ionity are THE BIG NAME in Motorway EV Charging, so I am putting them on the list of companies needing an AFC Energy Fuel Cell System. They are ABB clients.

"Electric charger manufacturer ABB has received an order for 324 additional 350 kW electric vehicle chargers from Ionity. The chargers are to be rolled out in 24 countries by the end of 2020 as part of the second phase of its network expansion."

This Bus Charging news is all well and good, but I'm sure they will need Rapid Charging for busses too, as some will have long routes and will need to charge up so they can go again, rather than doing just 2 or 3 runs a day, which is inefficient and will reduce the available number of busses. They might be waiting on an AFC solution so they can push ahead with Rapid Chargers. Also, the Pantograph Chargers at 300kW need a seriously large power supply, so will be limited to locations by the Grid, but AFC 400kW System means they can be placed anywhere.

If Formula E is a testbed for EV Batteries and technology, then to me it looks like Extreme E is a testbed for Hydrogen Fuel Cell power. I therefore see AFC's solution becoming part of Formula E in the future, maybe next year, once the first season of Extreme E is over and ABB / Formula E have the data they need.

I expect to hear about AFC in maybe the next one of these podcasts, so keep the link.

This one features Frank Muehlon, the guy from the RNS and PR. It's very interesting, and clearly shows Frank is looking at the big (very big) picture. It's easy to see how he concluded ABB should team up with AFC.

Also worth a read, Interview with Frank Muehlon, ABB

https://evboosters.com/ev-frontrunners-interview-with-frank-muehlon-abb/

I can't say where they got this info, perhaps by calling and speaking to both companies? They must have got those images that way, so quite possible!

"Both companies say that 400+ kW stations (H-Power L400 +) will be ready for commissioning in Europe, the UK and the United States in the second half of 2021."

"Variants with a charging power of up to 20 (H-Power L20) and up to 160 kW (H-Power L160) are to be available now."

EXTREME E "Probably the most-talked-about racing series to make its debut this year"

As I posted yesterday:

I made a prediction not a guess. My prediction is based on 12 years of holding nearly one million shares in AFC, and doing mountains of research over that time on every aspect of AFC, every market, every Patent, every client, every competitor, every competing technology, etc.

My prediction is based on the level of sales I predict in the EV and Generator markets, via our own sales leads, via ABB, from Acciona and because of the success of the Acciona trial, also via the Julich system publicity in Germany, and taking into account peer MCap's and profitability, and allowing for some small input from Alkamem licensing.

I didn't pluck a number from the air, I worked out what I expect AFC to sell this year, what I expect to happen to the clean energy stocks this year, what I expect to see from Alkamem this year, etc, that is ANALYSIS, exactly the same as a Broker does when they write their predictions for the coming year.

Never been a big Porsche fan, but I wouldn't mind a Taycan myself, after watching the stunning manufacturing video! This is what Tesla don't do, no panel gaps or paint imperfections here!

Or the new Jaguar XJ (I've had a few before, 4.2 Daimler Sovereign, XLS V12, XJ 3.6).

Bus manufacturers like BYD would be good partners for AFC, as I am sure with the huge charging demands of these vehicles that many prospective clients cannot buy the busses they want, but AFC EV Chargers would allow them to, so BYD sales would increase accordingly. Maybe ABB or one of their EV Charging provider clients are already linked to BYD?

littlegiddings, that's great, thanks for checking it out for us :)

Yellow, go to the thread for this, the link is in the first post.

QFI - 2.25p - well down but in no way out (neither am I, still holing tightly to all my stock for nearly a decade).

Their new BioMSAR can fix these shipping industry fuel issues and make a fortune for QFI. Plus they have power trials starting soon.

There's already a good selection of EV's available, but just look at what is coming this year!!

Peer comparison, AFC clearly the one losing the least amount of money even though others already have sales and some have for over a decade. Prices converted from USD/NOK/SEK to GBP. Sorted by MCap. AFC still looks like a bargain to me, roll on the £1Bn+ MCap I say!

I don't know why anyone is questioning proof of concept here?

AFC have a Fuel Cell which they have tested for thousands of hours. Other partners have products that they have tested for thousands of hours and have already deployed successfully in commercial installations (Solar, battery systems, EV Chargers, etc). The only thing that makes it a proof of concept it connecting them together. To think that anything could go wrong is seriously underestimating the engineers (not scientists as no science is needed to do this) connecting the things together, and ignoring the amount of time it will have been tested before it arrives at a customer site.

DJ79, that's because those companies do their own manufacturing. CWR has always had a very bloated employee number, most of them were scientists, which is one certain way to end up with a clusterf***!. Many of these companies think it looks great to customers to say they have hundreds of staff, but to me, form their annual output, it looks more like a 'job for the boys' club, might as well be state run. If taken over, half the staff would be out the door on day one!

AFC has done very well by keeping the numbers down to what is NEEDED, and in doing so has stopped too many cooks from spoiling the broth.

AFC numbers wont grow anywhere near those other companies, we only do R&D, our own electronics, our own software, and assembly. Out of that the only thing that will grow is assembly crew, and that will only grow as the order pipeline gets long enough to cause lead times that are too long, which is a great place to be, because you have the orders and the deposits in the bag to cover the extra assembly crew(s).

One thing you can definitely take from all previous final results is that AFC keep their costs down to the bare minimum. Look at Patents and you'll see that AFC only maintain the most recent and valid Patents, all others are allowed to expire, this again is to keep costs to the minimum. Just because we are now manufacturing, does not mean that will change. We will only have the staff and costs that we NEED.

What I just posted on another thread about Australia also applies to SA then:

Indeed, anywhere in the world that has a polluting grid is an opportunity for AFC. Australia would be a good place to start, with companies that WANT to use green energy but can't because the Government insist on keeping coal power going.

Those companies could vote with their electrons and use Green Hydrogen or Green Ammonia as their main power source, and just maintain a grid connection as an emergency backup.

Just search google for 'countries with the worst electricity supply', huge potential out there already. Also look at 'countries with the most expensive electricity supply', again huge potential there too.
