    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    No they haven't, I have gotten 2 extremely disrespectful messages in my inbox, telling me to keep my mouth shut. My guess is this is why I have that red rating under my name. They know who they are and I don't need to name names, people haven't been objective. I won't participate in the thread...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    With all due respect JRP, do you want me to treat you like an adult or a child. If you want me to respect you, then use proper arguments. Caldreamin used an ammonia plant explosion from 1985 as an argument for the safety of hydrogen cars, it's fear mongering and I won't participate in that...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Relative to diesel, gasoline is quite flammable, that's one of the reasons we drove diesels in the army. As far as hydrogen cars exploding, you guys need to give it a rest with the fear mongering, it's petty and childish to see people like this. Most Tesla drivers I know aren't like this at all.

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    You can't just use random accidents involing hydrogen and start scare mongering people. SAE has a journal and has been detailing HFC safety measures since 2006, at least quote from there for accurate information. What you're doing is like me saying Teslas are unsafe and posting a scary picture...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Hydrogen tanks are relatively safe. If you think hydrogen is unsafe, you haven't seen accidents with regular gasoline yet, the reason many vehciles in the army we used are diesel is because gasoline is so dangerous when car is being hit by a pothole every 5 minutes. Hydrogen usually doesn't...

    Met a test team from Audi at the Gilroy Supercharger!

    I believe your story 100%. But I don't think these people were honest, people from Audi have no reason to lie or pretend like they're something they're not. Some people like to play coy to be more interesting than they are. - - - Updated - - - 5 of them being German? nah, prolly toursist...

    Met a test team from Audi at the Gilroy Supercharger!

    Ok, maybe 5 engineers flew over from Germany on a secret mission to film Tesla's supercharger, all the while Audi has said they're not interested in EV right now. Call me crazy, but it makes absolutely no sense. - - - Updated - - - You tell me, using EPA data is completely inaccurate since...

    Met a test team from Audi at the Gilroy Supercharger!

    Audi engineers have no issues telling they're from Audi. They also have the largest test track in the world from VW. Whoever they were, they weren't from Audi, they don't go on secret james bond missions. - - - Updated - - - Audi doesn't believe the time is ripe for them yet for full EV...

    BMW i3

    What I find interesting about the i3 is that it is getting way more attention than the Mercedes B class electric. I wish I knew who said it, maybe it was a random person or maybe BMW. The fact different looking EV get more attention than refreshes of ICE cars. I think part of the attention the...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    That's pretty much the basis of Toyota's argument. They classify HFC and BEV by required power The argument revolves around where you start seeing the benefit of hydrogen over lithium. Lithium is not feasable for something like back-up power, hydrogen is, it is commonly used as a green back...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    The idea that it will end up in a technology surpassing the other into irrelevance, that fear it will happen like that, might be why some companies are so reluctant to support either one. I don't think it will happen like that, at least not overnight. But the idea it will, means that the...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Tesla, Toyota, they both have good engineers. They both took a side in a way. Then there's all the European car manufacturers who refuse to pick sides and are experimenting with both technologies. The moment you start to champion one technology over the other, you start to lose sight of the big...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Debunked by whom, another blogger or an actual car engineer. You can go back and forth with random bloggers all day. On the internet, everyone has an opinion. If an experienced engineer with experience in the field debunked him, I would be interested to read. If it's another self appointed...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    The funny thing is that both these people have a book to sell. Everyone who wants to sell a book suddenly has an opinion. And many times the people writing the books aren't involved anymore in the industry to begin with, which means their opinion is often outdated.
