Or, have a normal fleet on the job site with a tank of diesel. This seems like a ridiculous Rube Goldberg type of machine to promote green credentials. How’s they pull that fifth Will full of hydrogen?
That was a great interview, definitely not "soft ball". Roman knows his sh*t (well, except for the "3-phase DC" comment) and this guy had to be on his toes. Good job!
The gm engineer is upspeaking badly (every sentence is a question?)
I'd be interested in seeing a race w/ this charging system vs. one with a diesel genset.
Imagine how bad inflation would be if the government wasn't spending billions of taxpayer dollars on this!
We already have diesel trucks. They tow great. They're durable, can run on biofuel, and have all of the torque one could ever dream of. Are people buying electric trucks just because their government is taking ICEs away? Push back, before you wind up driving an electric piece of garbage.
Can’t wait to see one of those powering Heavy Equipment, excavator, etc.
Unless you're on a NASA budget, just quit being stupid and stop thinking Hydrogen is anything other than a complete waste of time, money, and resources, wise up kids.
What a massively inefficient means of creating power. Fuel cells are cool, this however is extremely silly.
$1 per KW to fill up a 200KW battery is $200. That's not very affordable/practical at all. To fill up a 25 gal fuel tank with regular gas at $3.20 a gal is $80.00 in Texas. Gas stations are pretty much everywhere vs Hydrogen and or working EV chargers.
People seem to forget you can use sound to make electricity as well, and cities are noisy.
This is a great idea for remote locations without a lot of electric infrastructure. Just drop a trailer full of hydrogen when it runs low.
Too many unanswered questions but then can you create it at home using solar panels, no, who are you paying for the privilege, oil companies(again), where does most of the H2 come from currently fossil fuels, can you plug in anywhere even a 120V outlet to fill up, no. For passenger transport I just don't see this as a solution, long haul shipping yes, long haul flights yes, trains yes(those that aren't electric such as in the EU or places that understand trains and train systems).
So, how are you running the compressor? Gas?
Extreme E off road racing uses this type of charging, in some very remote locations.
Solar and wind need to be advanced to make hydrogen cheap, so we have many options to make this viable. GM is looking at this seriously as an option for job sites shows there's change happening.
It seems like it is much more difficult to generate H2 gas than to generate electricity from solar or wind, etc. Splitting water through electrolysis, for example, is very energy intensive. I think that the advantage of hauling H2 instead of a giant battery pack is energy density. But it seems like there may be more loss from doing this than from having a fuel cell vehicle. With this it does the extra step of converting from H2 to electricity, then storing that electricity in the EV's battery, plus the energy to haul the equipment. Sure, fuel cell vehicles have small batteries, but I think that is more to do regenerative braking, etc.
Its too energy intensive to make hydrogen, and nobody has figured out how to fix that. so it just isn't an answer.
We pay 5 cents per kWh, off peak , 10 pm to 6am
Carvana is selling every compliance car. There are also a few others. What is the safest car and the safest year to buy from Carvana?
😂
Wouldn't it just be better to run the vehicle off of hydrogen? With this setup you have the cost of a vehicle with big batteries, plus the cost of the hydrogen charging unit.
