re: Longest range EV will end up being a full sized pickup truck: 450 miles

Our existing infrastructure cannot be modified to accommodate hydrogen. No matter what anyone tells you about HDPE, the fusing processes are so incredibly lacking that a switch to hydrogen will blow up so many houses that it’s not even worth talking about. It’s literally starting from scratch.

Lol, why are you putting hydrogen in houses?? Natural gas for residential uses (such as heating and stoves) is going to be phased out for electrical stoves. That is already happening.

Baw hydrogen is the most energy dense liquid fuel (thats not an opinion thats a fact). Technology is currently under development, for not just sustainable production (via multiple pathways), but also down stream use (in energy storage, fuel cells, or drop in combustible fuels). Not only are Fortune 500 companies spending billions in hydrogen research worldwide, but the US Department of Energy's Earthshot Initiative is putting several billions towards the goal of being able to domestically produce hydrogen at less than $1 a kg (which when volumetrically converted is approx. 1 gal) by the end of the decade. Which this is totally bipartisan btw and it was started by Trump, which even the libs and republicans agree on. Trump's administration moved a ton of money from EV to hydrogen.

When it comes to current infrastructure, we don't have all that we need but that is called capitalism and progress. We also didn't have the infrustrure for cell phones but we got on it and created infrusture and jobs. At the end of the day, even though your favorite companies regularly modify plants to suit other uses, a plant will need to be built, or simply modified, just like all the other ones in Baton Rouge and elsewhere, creating jobs and keeping current employees. But the fact of the matter is that pertinent plants, vehicles, and existing infrastructure can and will be modified and it's just a matter of time.

We had to give up leaded gas, we moved on to a different fuel (unleaded is a different fuel). Hydrogen is here, you'll be ok your new 3/4 ton running on hydrogen will produce significantly more torque and horsepower.

There’s data on this:

Yea I trust that lol

Yea I trust that lol

That’s because you don’t like what it tells you.

45 minutes to go from 40% to 90%. That was charging at 440 volts and 96 amps

---

I wonder how many charge cycles those batteries would hold up t at those kind of inputs. That’s a shite ton of juice. 42Kw for 40 minutes

That claim seems like bullshite. Maybe half that under normal conditions and that is a stretch.

So 35% of people who have a truck will only put something in the truck bed one time a year? Yea, that’s bullshite lol

---

I don't tow much with mine but I use my truck bed all the time.

I actually think it would be pretty inconvenient not to have a truck if you are a homeowner and like doing things around the house.

they are also kind of ruining the world. They’re a grotesque addiction. And our unslakable thirst for them is irrational.

See above. Dude is super salty.

Americans are batshit crazy for pickup trucks.

No agenda at all.

Artificially low domestic gas prices, relative to the damage that burning carbon-based fuels wreaks on the planet and its inhabitants,

Ahhhh of course. Protecting the environment was sure to make an appearance at some point.

ll that to argue with data that came from Edwards. Did the gay guy hurt your feeling?

---

No he didn’t. But it’s very clear that truck drivers have basically destroyed this dude.

I’ve said, I don’t put any faith in the data, for sure. Stats can say whatever people want them to say. That 35% one is bullshite.

Then I also layer out how unhinged this dude is about trucks and showed you what his agenda is. So of course he’s going to find selected stats to back that up.

Yeah he’s a weirdo and it’s a shite article but I trust Edwards along with strategic vision, ford and a ton of other reliable sources that have put out very similar research. Most trucks never get anything more than a couple bags of mulch thrown in them.
