I still believe it will be a mix of technologies. |
That creates a major problem for EV's. If Hydrogen cars gain traction it could spell the end of EV's. I'm expecting HGV's to take off first with most if not all motorway services installing Hydrogen refuelling. Once that happens it will spread to major service stations as the infrastructure is mainly there. There won't be sufficient room at service stations to charge more than around 6 to 8 cars at a time and depending on the level of charge could take between 30 to 40 minutes per vehicle whereas Hydrogen will get quicker to fill possibly down to 3-4 minutes per vehicle.. |
Toyota, as well as BMW :- |
BMW's decision to offer hydrogen powered cars from 2028 is making the headlines across the media. Partnership with Toyota and both car makers have called for global governments to invest in hydrogen infrastructure... |
So what does the ordinary person who lives in a terrace or flat in an inner-city suburb do?
Answer: they reject the whole idea of EVs as impractical.
I'm not even convinced that SSBs and fast chargers will solve the problem because then there'll inevitably be a pricing issue. That's going to need giant government subsidies :¬) |
Do they though? For 8-9 months of the year, I charge when the sun shines-Solar charges the car. In the winter I charge late at night when it`s cheaper. |
in reality most charge during the evening whilst cooking tea resulting in the need to switch on coal and other fired power stations to cope with demand |
The great advantage of EVs is that they can be charged overnight, hopefully avoiding the need to turn off wind turbines.
It's a bit like ITM's business model. |
Plug Awarded $10 Million DOE Grant to Lead Development of Advanced Hydrogen Refueling Station in Washington StateSeems u.s gov thinks plug not going down the plug ole? Be nice if itm got anything like this ... |
Nope
With any luck Dennis might post on LinkedIn 😉 |

things must be looking up pinky and perky are back |
As you say renewable electricity needs to be stored. No point having electric vehicles if the electric comes from fossil fuels.
With wind power expected to rise to 50gw that should generate excess electricity when it’s windy but if not stored will be wasted by shutting down turbines. |
 Graham thnks for link in 33014 and "Government secures record pipeline of clean cheap energy projects". Cheap is relative to what; I presume gas generation mainly. But does the "cheap" include the cost of storage (*), which I guess will load the end price considerably. Government I suspect using emotive words like cheap but dont make clear the overall cost to the end user. I seem to recall that to get the wind farm offers taken up recently the MW price was raiseded from £40 (no takers) to £80.
* Your 330115 makes the point that wind is not always adequate.
As part of the electricity need there is AI and all the other electric stuff that was never needed (cars etc). Seems the growth could be 40 - 50%. It would be nice to see calculations from the Government on whether wind/sola is expected to be adequate. Perhaps Small modular nuclear is a big market and this is not wind or sun dependent. Maybe that Uranium has been going up indicates the need for this in addition wind/solar as perhap there is a view these tow can't produce the amount needed.
For the electrolyser market it seems the only way is up, let's hope ITM gets a good slice.

"Going forward, between 2023 and 2033, thanks to both the expansion of data centers and an acceleration of electrification, Europe’s power demand could grow by 40% and perhaps even 50%, according to Goldman Sachs Research. At the moment, around 15% of the world’s data centers are located in Europe. By 2030, the power needs of these data centers will match the current total consumption of Portugal, Greece, and the Netherlands combined." |

Not only itm boast high efficiency? Obviously others got tested products too? |
