"In the USA, a lobby organisation has been founded to advocate that only purely electric vehicles should be sold nationwide from 2030 onwards. There are 28 founding members of the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA), including Tesla."

"Among the other best-known members are Lucid Motors, Uber, Siemens, ABB, Rivian, Arrival and large charging infrastructure providers such as ChargePoint, EVBox, Evgo and Enel X."

In business it's often who you know, so I would say AFC sales via ABB could certainly involve those named companies.

He also mentioned couriers, many of whom are switching to EV's, and UBER who are incentivising their drivers to switch to EV's.

I can't see how that would work. If there's a service station or marina it will already have power, just not enough for the huge power requirement of rapid or ultra rapid EV charging. If it's say building a new service station out in the dessert then the fuel cell would be big enough to supply all of the power of the site including the EV chargers.

ABB are getting into sustainable mining including electrification. Most mines being in remote locations could be a big sales area for AFC Fuel Cells, in sustainable (zero emissions) electrification.

The PR is still spreading!

This one is new in that the wording is completely different and it mentions CH2ARGE

ABB USA clients, 'Electrify America' and 'EVgo'

"Swiss conglomerate ABB was the first to sell the 350-kW chargers with liquid-cooled cables to charging networks in North America, including Electrify America and EVgo. ABB's e-mobility unit also makes chargers for heavy commercial vehicles that deliver up to 600 kW."

In his recent Proactive video interview AB mentioned Amazon. Now take a look at what I just found!

"Lion Electric announced a partnership with ABB to provide electric vehicle supply charging equipment for all of Lion’s electric fleet vehicles. In a separate announcement, Lion also said it will deliver 10 battery-electric trucks to Amazon."

ABB to Manufacture EV Chargers in India (dated Sept 2018, but useful info)

In a market like India with 1.2 billion people, the requirements “can only be fulfilled if we do it locally”, Frank Muehlon, head of the Swiss engineering company’s Global Business for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Full charge: the EV infrastructure providers to watch

ABB:

While ABB’s expertise mainly focuses on the robotics manufacturing sector, the company has also made some serious investments in power generation equipment over the past few years.

Considering the company’s high profile partnership with Porsche in 2019 to develop EV chargers in Japan, it is likely that ABB will turn into one of the major leaders in downstream power equipment in the near future.

This report also covers BP, Shell, ChargePoint and Webasto, and or all of which could sign similar agreements with AFC.

Closing MCap's today vs yesterday and the gain/loss made today:

AFC £343m > £372m = +£29m
PPS £457m > £461m = +£4m
CWR £1,958m > £1,951m = -£7m
ITM £2,282m > £2,349m = +£67m

That big buy was the uncrossing trade. Three days in a row the uncrossing trade has been bought at a price higher than the closing price at 4:30, that tells us that the MM's know from their order books that this is going higher, as they expect to make a profit on a trade worth £235,728. As shown by the gap up on open yesterday and today, the demand is there, and I would put money on another gap up at the open on Monday.

Bombaysapphire, 17p is another typo, it should be 170p ;-) ;-)

4th highest on the risers board today!

Next year for me. Been in since March 2008 with a big holding at under 1p during the intraday dip. I top sliced on the peak to take out just my original stake at 65p (so only sold around 1/65 of my holding) in late 2010, and held the rest since then. Next year is going to be the biggest year ever for AFC holders, and many more millionaires will be created.

SonofaGun, this year has turned into a great one for AFC longs (been holding for 12 years 9 months myself), but next year is going to be the really big one.

News went out to the PR newswire Asia at 6pm yesterday, so that is the far East covered as well now.

But the EU has regulations against governments directly backing any of their own companies, they must treat all EU companies equally, it is fair competition regulations. After BREXIT the EU want that maintained, it is a sticking point in the BREXIT negotiations, the level playing field.

The big difference between now and the past for AFC is that it now has a huge OEM backing it's products and selling into 100 markets instead of 1 and a bit.

The ABB agreement is the biggest validation of AFC technology that we could have hoped for since AFC listed.
