nothing is dumber than plugging in and waiting for your car to charge,
I like that he starts the video saying how burning hydrogen in a combustion engine is a dumb idea
The stat is 1 in 5 and you've never been able to address the shortcomings of hydrogen. Let me give one more data point. The guy in the video had a shit experience but the difference between that and hydrogen is that he can do that drive with an ev but good luck finding a hydrogen gas stationnothing is dumber than plugging in and waiting for your car to charge,
in California for every 5 people that have bought a Tesla , 2 have dumped it and went back to ICE.
I hope you f150 lighting folks don’t have all the problems this guy has had with a Mach E..totally insane.
there are only about a dozen EV battery recycling sites around the world. And in the USA where we really don’t manufacture a lot of batteries, most are in China..there is no market for the recycled toxic mess. Can’t wait for the first ship of toxic batteries to dump into the ocean. Will make the Exxon Valdez look like a piece of cake.They have been recycling lithium batteries for years. EV batteries are more complicated due to their size but the process is the same. You should treat your information source with suspicion unless it's Q-Anon, then it's ok.
The contents of the batteries are exposed using a shredder or a high-speed hammer, depending on battery size. The contents are then submerged in caustic water. The caustic solution neutralizes the electrolytes, and ferrous and non-ferrous metals are recovered. The clean scrap metal is then sold to metal recyclers while the solution is then filtered. The carbon is recovered and pressed into moist sheets of carbon cake. Some of the carbon is recycled with cobalt. The lithium in the solution is converted to lithium carbonate. The lithium carbonate is used to make lithium ingot metal and foil for other batteries. It also provides lithium metal for resale and for the manufacture of sulfur dioxide batteries
bud ...where do you get your info from?..Chevron just inked a deal to produce and put in hydrogen stations across the USA. You can put in a hydrogen plant in a year or so..it takes many years to put in a natural gas plant or nuclear...There are no short comings with Hydrogen...Japan and the EU are getting away from plug in EV’s. The new technology is game changer..it will be a Hydrogen economy in the near future.The stat is 1 in 5 and you've never been able to address the shortcomings of hydrogen.

ha ha ha ..I drive an hour and 10 min to work and the same back, I can do it for about $20-24 depending on gas prices. In 2019 I could do it for like $8 ea way ..thanks Joe. I drive an edge ..that’s a half a tank. Someone has a Tesla S who works with me, he has to be given a ride in a gas powered vehicle to another location near our place of work where he can “plug in” and then a ride back ..he doesn’t do this every day, but at least a couple days a week. He lives 30 minutes closer to work than I do..no thanks bro..that just insane.Haha. My Ford Focus ST had 250 mile range when full. Your argument is flawed. An EV can be your only vehicle.
not much more than California gas prices are today ...the difference is Hydrogen has much more energy 2.2 pounds vs 6.2 pounds of gas..so it goes alot farther. And gas blows away plug in electric in terms of energy. That’s why major Truck manufacturers are not going plug in electric ..they are going hydrogen fuel cell. You just can’t tow with batteries.Isn't hydrogen pretty expensive? Im pretty sure I saw a video that said after you use all of your fuel credits, you can expect to pay 90 bucks to fill up.
The EU is working on green hydrogen, i.e using a massive amount of renewable energy to create hydrogen. The majority of that will more than likely go to industrial purposes. Moving hydrogen around isn't easy. You'll never get the type of coverage that you currently have with gas stations or electric chargers. But I guess time will tellbud ...where do you get your info from?..Chevron just inked a deal to produce and put in hydrogen stations across the USA.

meanwhile if the current power grid doesn’t drastically increase is production with new coal, and natural gas plants ..when plug in EV‘s hit 15% of the current share of the automobile market there will be no way to power them ..doesn’t matter how many plugs you have if you can’t get power to them, not to mention an increase in sky high home utility bills because of all the increase. Solar and wind are pretty much not a contender and very unreliable for most of the country.
I have done the research. In order to get where I go 20+ weekends a year, I would be dependent on two charging stations with relatively fast charging capability. During my drive I have to decide which way to go. Then I am dependent on one charging station. If there is a problem with it, I am screwed.You should get out more. Or at least do some research.
