so, my understanding is, Teslas are unfit for purpose in Scotland?.” I’ve been driving for 30 years and this is my most premium car to date
Shit that happens when you confuse Teslas with good cars.

Just FYI, businessinsider belongs to the Axel Springer group and is very much trash itself. Maybe not to the extent of the mirror, but still
That dachshund is so done with that trip. 😆
I’ll rewrite the headline:

A reason to take hydrogen cars more seriously. At very least, it is an alternative.
It’s not a binary choice. A Tesla sucks; plenty of other brands of BEVs are doing fine.
Wasn’t sure if you know how logic works, or if you’re just a hydrogen-from-petroleum stooge.
BEV fanatics are the stooges. They’re basically projecting by accusing their biggest rival technology of being propped by stooges.
Anyways, BEVs have a limited role to play in all of this. It will never be the main role. People should realize that. Tesla even more so.
Okay, that answers my question. Keep that foil hat on tight and good luck on the loony fringe!
You literally accused me of being a stooge. Are you sure you aren’t the loony fringe?
Nah, they just left it open as an option, all you did was confirm it.
Not much of an admin are you?
😂
you’re in all of these threads talking up a shit technology.
you’re a stooge.
You seem to be stuck in the year 2015, back when these arguments actually sound original. Today, it’s just outdated bullshit from a Fascist.
Pretty much everyone on the left have switched to supporting hydrogen. Joe Biden being a recent example. Much of the European political landscape have done this same. Just a handful of seriously out-of-touch social media type are still promoting this BEV monopoly idea.
Who on the left and where did they switch to H2? Because that’s news to me. Germany tried to carve out an “E-Fuel” subsidy in the EU thanks to its libertarian DOT minister, but that’s a) literally meant as a drop-in replacement for gas and b) pretty much dead on arrival.
Everything I’ve followed so far seems to indicate that while BEVs have problems, H2 ist just massively less efficient to produce, store, distribute and burn.
Hydrogen is hard to handle without losses and in itself is a much worse greenhouse gas than co2
I do like the approach to generate hydrogen and mix it with atmospheric co2 to produce methan
That’s pretty much made-up. Hydrogen is not a big deal to handle. The “it’s a GHG” argument seems to come from some special interest group funded by the fossil fuel industry. It’s actually pretty suspect of a claim, and it was never a particularly big effect even if it is real.

It’s the battery with the lowest amount of raw material needs. Quite literally turning water into an energy storage system.
Most of these studies are written by conservatives, or occasionally by wealthy liberal elites with significant conflicts of interest. No one should believe in them.
Put it this way: Wind and solar are terribly inefficient. Why did they catch on despite those problems? Because cost is very low. The criticisms are usually just old people making up stories to rationalize why their outdated investments are still viable.

It’s worth noting that those same group of guys thought it will have zero role to play just a few years ago. Now it’s “limited roles.” Who knows want the next report will say. And it’s dominated by Tories and other conservatives. I even recognize some of them as critics of hydrogen. It is definitely not a real science paper or an impartial report.
Hydrogen is going to play a massive role, regardless of what some elderly people think. Factually speaking, there’s very few alternatives to hydrogen in the first place. If not hydrogen, it would have to be something like ammonia or e-fuels. None of which are dramatically superior. As a result, by saying that it doesn’t work, you’re coming close to admitting defeat on climate change.
Hydrogen cars still have batteries and you know that. At least tell me you’ve been getting pair for this work, or you’re heavily invested in hydrogen and need to pump this hard.
About 1-2 kWh worth. So nearly nothing. But of course, you already knew that.
So the question is what is your motivation for saying this?
My motivation is pointing out the glaring hole in your attempt at an argument. WTF does hydrogen have to do with this article? Nothing.
You have nothing to say on this subject anymore. You’ve already revealed yourself and there’s nothing left to talk about. You are just a BEV fanatic and you don’t care if that ends up sabotaging the fight against climate change.
