RE: Rolls Royce 'historic announcement' tomorrow!29 Sep 2021 15:58
Hi Ogggs - I find your responses to Haggis a bit surprising. For me, EV has the potential to become a major arm of the business for AFC. EV sales are likely to far outstrip the ability for the charging infrastructure to keep apace. Fleet vans/taxis/buses will need access to many KW of power that could easily be supplied independently via off-grid technology such as AFC/ABB charging. Additionally, consumers will require confidence that they can charge anywhere in the UK/world such that range anxiety becomes a thing of the past and we can rely on EV charging as much as we do fuel forecourts currently (well not in recent days of course).
Also, whilst all new vehicles will need to be anything other than ICE by 2030, Rolls Royce are sending out a very strong message that prestige cars such as theirs will be EVs. This will be a signal to other car manufacturers and the technology they are developing will influence other EV designs from a technological perspective.
Of course, we have other potential revenue streams that AFC are exploring such as Data Centres, gender replacement but they’re other arms of AFCs suite of products. When I think about it in this context, the potential for AFC energy as we move forward is mind boggling !
Let’s hope we have continued news from AFC that realises this potential. GLA
