"The batteries are coming from Williams Advanced Engineering, with a capacity of 65kWh at 800V and a charging time from 10-90% of less than an hour, taking on electricity from a hydrogen generator-fuelled ‘energy station’. Familiar names such as DTM and World Rallycross Champion Mattias Ekström and Spanish veteran Jordi Gené are committed already (via Cupra) and more car makers are expected to sign up. The promotional event on 14-15 November at the final round of the WTCR will tell more."

Japan opens the largest hydrogen production unit on the globe
www.hydrogenfuelnews.com
A Japanese consortium has now launched a renewable energy-powered 10 MW-class hydrogen production unit. This makes the Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research Field (FH2R) the largest class in the world.
The country first started the construction of FH2R back in 2018 and is based in Namie town.
The town is located in Fukushima Prefecture. The consortium behind this new massive hydrogen production unit consists of Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS), the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Iwatani Corporation, and Tohoku Electric Power Co.
The FH2R facility is powered by renewable energy, which means it is powered by a source at risk of fluctuations. In order to compensate for that risk, FH2R will adjust based on the power grid’s supply and demand. This way, it becomes possible to get the most of the energy’s use while establishing green, low-cost H2 production tech.
The 180,000 m2 FH2R hydrogen power unit uses 20 MW of solar power generation facilities.
In addition, it receives power from the grid. This is required to power the electrolysis of water. This makes it a renewable energy powered 10 MW class facility. Its capacity for production, storage and supply is up to 1,200 Nm3 of hydrogen per hour (rated power operation).
The H2 that FH2R produces will also be used for powering stationary hydrogen fuel cell systems as well as for fuel cell cars and buses, mobility devices and other purposes
Could be getting close to production?
AFC Energy PLC (LON:AFC) has told investors that successful electrode performance testing results have strengthened its agreement with Industrie De Nora.
A new signing for the next phase of a joint development agreement (JDA) has now taken place and as a result, targets have been updated towards mass manufacture and commercial deployment.
It is expected that the targets are scheduled to be met within the first twelve months of the new agreement.
"Our collaboration with De Nora has delivered many successes over the past three years and it is with great excitement and anticipation that we have agreed to strengthen our commercial relationship through the extended JDA today,” said Adam Bond, AFC chief executive.
No information whatsoever. SO NO NEWS. not surprising there is nothing on a google search!
What has happened to the dash, has it become a crawl?
Come on AFC give us some update on the journey please, and on the way tell the media
Thank you in advance
I don't know if it's been posted, if so apologies

They Do! A perfect market place to show off our EV Charger

I have been in this over 10 years with a substantial holding and have had my hopes raised so many times i am beginning to despair, Kore1, Kore2, 10Kw unit now this.
Yes i can see the benefits of a trickle charger for an EV, as most vehicles spend 95% of their time parked somewhere. Batteries can be smaller with all the advantages that can bring, but why or why can we not concentrate on marketing a finished a product. Adam once said that products such a Iphones did not stop at version 1 and he was right, but Apple managed to sell quite a few Iphone 1 before investing on Iphone 2.
I like everyone else will still be believing that I may get my money back at very least.
Financial Times SIGN IN Electric vehicles Hydrogen power: China backs fuel cell technology Producers are buying foreign tech but industry must build for future after subsidies January 2, 2019 4:39 am by Henry Sanderson in Yunfu, Guangdong Stung by the impact of the financial crisis, the hilly city of Yunfu in China’s southern Guangdong province decided in 2009 it was time for a makeover. Known over hundreds of years for producing delicate stones for arts and crafts, the city had few modern industries apart from consumer appliances. So officials decided to lop the top off the surrounding hills and build a 13.4 sq km industrial park focused on fuel cells — a rival technology to internal combustion engines and electric batteries. Attracted by generous government subsidies, a whole suite of companies covering the supply chain have now set up in the park, which is producing hundreds of buses and small trucks using fuel cells that run on hydrogen gas. So successful has it been that local officials now plan to flatten two more hills to create a neighbouring vehicle manufacturing plant and a chemicals facility. “When we moved here it was all barren hills,” says Frank Ma, chairman of Guangdong Nation Synergy Hydrogen Power Technology, walking along a line of bright blue fuel cell buses. “Your first impression [of the area] is that this is not the kind of place to do this kind of manufacturing. [But] this is a special kind of industry in China.” The Yunfu park is the epitome of China’s powerful industrial policy — which is designed to use generous subsidies to develop and dominate emerging industries critical to the “Made in China 2025” shift to high-end manufacturing. Beijing has spent an estimated $58.8bn subsidising its electric car industry over the past decade, according to the US-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, creating the world’s largest market for electric cars as well as a dominant position in batteries— surpassing Japan and South Korea. Subsidies have also helped propel Chinese solar makers into the ranks of the world’s largest producers, overtaking competitors in the US and Europe. A hydrogen fuel cell bus in Zhangjiakou, northern Hebei province Now Beijing hopes to do the same for fuel cells — which along with electric vehicles could help decarbonise the entire transportation fleet and reduce China’s vast reliance on imported oil. While fuel cells are unlikely to compete with batteries for small passenger cars because of the latter’s continued reduction in costs, they could play a role in larger vehicles such as trucks and buses, as well as in ships and trains. “If you look at what China did in solar, in wind and in battery electric vehicles the subsidy tap was opened and it brought a lot of capital and companies to these new markets, which resulted in China being the leader in a
