DW - you’re making yourself look like a complete fool now. Haggis has put some facts before us ALL that there is activity going on behind the scenes(we know this is the case anyway unless approx 150 employees are twiddling their thumbs).
Your credibility, or what was left of it has vanished in a puff of impure hydrogen!

Brigg- great positive posts, thanks. Oh, you’re first posts as well.
I think you’ll find AFC are aiming at trains and maritime rather than cars but you never know with AFC. Suggest you follow Heath23’s advice and press the sell button first thing Monday morning.

Haggis,
It was about 4’ square. Not small but smaller than the Power Tower and I don’t know what the power output might be for the Honda unit. With all the trucks and paraphernalia that was around the team there’s no reason why a Power Tower couldn’t become an integral part of their equipment especially if noise levels and definitely environmental considerations are to be factored in to TV production. There are probably hundreds of such film teams around the country at any point in time let alone the rest of the world.
I’d hope also that the FCs will become smaller over time.

Haggis- there was a film crew in Bristol last week filming on location for a tv series. There was a portable diesel generator pumping out fumes on the road outside the house they were filming at so absolutely, the Power Tower would be needed … silent, clean and portable. There’s an endless list of use cases where a Power Tower could be used. Very exciting! :)

And Covid has not gone. In fact I will need an FFP2 mask for my trip to Italy tomorrow (if the flight leaves that is).

Enjoy the bank holidays all. :)

Oh I used Swiss because you once told me you were from Switzerland

Wrong DW - by your analogy it would actually be 2 days as the other 2 days are the weekend.
Oh and by the way, UK public holidays usually = 8
Switzerland usually = 10

UK is certainly going to enjoy this extra day. ;)

But this is my point DW - behind the scenes we don’t know what TP has done. He clearly had skills that AFC needed at the time and, in my opinion wouldn’t have lasted 2 years unless he had achieved something and no doubt that would have included liaising with ABB, Acciona, Mace etc for getting those deals through. Yes, we don’t have mass sales yet that we’d all love to see but it’s too early for that yet until S series is deployable and we have a fully validated HFC and Power Tower in the field.
The fact that the company is expanding so rapidly suggests to me that AFC is gearing up for saleable products in parallel to developing new products and next generation products.
This is my view of the situation anyway.

Clearly we didn’t have the right product for Rolec at that point in time. Clearly ABB now thin we have a good solution for them.
It doesn’t preclude AFC from striking up new deals with other EV charging companies who need solutions.
I was listening to a YouTube recording for a Bristol Green group- the lady who spoke works with Bristol council as well as an EV charging company- she clearly stated that the grid will not be able to cope as more and more charge points are developed. The cost is simply prohibitive. As we move forward with more EV sales this situation will become a turning point for the introduction of off grid solutions in my opinion. The hydrogen revolution is only just taking off.

DW - how on earth can you suggest EV charger was “wrong” when we’re teamed up with a huge Swiss company like ABB who have customers across 80 countries! They’re even invested in AFC. Ludicrous!

Haggis- I trust you’re not accusing me of subtle deramping. If that’s the case then it really is time to delete my account on this board. Of course we know what’s going on via RNSs but of course nobody knows exactly what’s happening behind the scenes for any company otherwise we’d be on the BOD.

I rest my case with DWs comment this morning

Hi ReoninV. I get the frustration, we’re all in the same boat of not knowing exactly what’s going on. This is true of course for any company investment. Unless you’re on the inside of course. DW seems to have a hatred for AB and that is quite disturbing in my opinion. His repeated ranting about AB will only serve to make AFC even more dismissive of PIs and a case of “if you say something often enough, you’ll make people believe it is true”. That, to me is unbelievably divisive.
I’d be interested to understand why you use the term “flailing around “ ?

Aldebaran - if that’s your opinion then why are you even looking at this board? In fact I’d suggest investing is not for you, especially the AIM market. Or maybe you just have an ulterior motive spending time on this company rather than the myriad of other companies you could be investing in ?

1johntique- I haven’t dodged any question. I was replying to your comment earlier “so if the market wanted that, and we launched it (over a month ago) “. My response was that I believe it’s naive to think we should expect an order in that timeframe for the reasons given. I cannot predict the procurement process and daren’t be so bold but we do know that the existing partnerships took months to work through and those partnerships weren’t product orders.

Totally agree with that sentiment ReoninV. This is year 11 for me. I just think we have to think carefully about what we write here as glib statements can be taken the wrong way by new investors and it could appear that AFC are making no effort regarding sales. We have to assume that is their MO.
We supposedly now have a commercial /working product with others due end of year and yes we definitely need to start seeing sales but, as Nick agrees, the procurement process can be time consuming. And yes of course, we’re all in the dark as usual, which is unbelievably frustrating.

1johntique/Reonin - are you serious? That was hardly name calling. It’s a discussion and the comment was rather naive in my opinion. Posters have said the same to me on here - it’s not offensive! But you made it sound like companies make instant decisions to make potentially big investments in new tech. These companies will need to undertake due diligence and this process will often involve looking at other comparable tech out there to ensure the organisation is getting the best/most cost effective product for their organisation. Hence the B&Q analogy. Have a good day both.

1johntique - that’s rather naïve. Procurement takes time It’s not like popping into B&Q and buying an electric fan off the shelf.

Another one post wonder arrives. Laughable

Hi Marley2
DW stated “no insider buys at all” so I suggest you look at RNSs entitled “Director/PDMR….

DW - you have clearly misunderstood the purpose of my post or, at worst admit that you are one of the shorters. My post was not directed at any particular individual and nor should it have been. It was directed at a generic group of individuals who are greedy and do not consider the wider issues here.
