RE: Elon Musk: "I am releasing My New Water Engine TODAY"5 Sep 2024 00:25
Hi Bladey,
Thanks for your comments, for me I think the MacMaster videos express what most EV owners are perhaps thinking/experiencing at this moment in time IMHO , the most worrying factor being a large depreciation in value of an EV against purchase, plus the horrendous cost for battery replacement that simply makes it all uneconomical over the long term to even own an EV.
I do think that Hyrdogen based fueled cars be it fuel cell or rapid catalyst conversion of water into gas or a combination of the 2 will eventually replace Lithium based EV's. I for one have never ever considered owning an EV simply because of a fear of 'Range Anxiety ' and as the MacMaster points in his videos, out the sheer time that one loses in waiting / finding to re charge is just not acceptable if travelling large distances across the UK.
So, as for Alkemy and companies like them the big question is can they succeed against a backdrop of falling enthusiasm? and lets not forget cost! for what it all entails in owning an EV?
For now I'll stick to my Diesel Golf :O)
