Energy efficiency of battery EV vs. Hydrogen vs. traditional ICE.

@Hypx@mastodon.social avatar

@phlogiston This is BEV propaganda. It is blatantly ignoring real problems, such as how "direct charging" isn't actually possible with 100% renewables.

The practical differences in efficiency is negligible, and in many scenarios a hydrogen or (rarely) power-to-liquid solution is the more efficient.

This is a nice sentiment, but it ignores the elephant in the room: The cost of BEVs would skyrocket if the batteries had to be made in Europe. The only reason why BEVs even are where they are now is due to extreme cost cutting in China, achieved by ignoring all environmental factors.

Tesla is sitting on mountains of unsold inventory. Same story as every other major BEV maker. BEVs continue to look more and more like a fad.

I didn't know how bad it really is: We are drowning in an oversupply of Chinese BEVs. We should not trust the numbers coming from BEV boosters. We are headed towards major factory shutdowns and cutbacks.

Reminder that just because some knockoff car looks like a Porsche, doesn’t mean it isn’t a total POS. No surprise that a cell phone company doesn’t know how to make a car.

I’m glad to see more sane takes on the upside of hybrids, PHEVs and FCEVs over BEVs. Reddit’s car community used to be dominated by nutty BEV fanatics, but now those are mostly pushed out and discredited. People are now realizing that other types of EVs have value. BEVs are not going to take over the world anytime soon.

@NVEVA Hydrogen cars have neither the upfront problems of BEVs, nor the long-term issues of conventional ICE cars. But of course, we suffer from a BEV cult that rejects all alternatives. In reality, BEVs are just a transitional technology and will be replaced by something superior.

Hypx,
@Hypx@mastodon.social avatar

@NVEVA A tiny, 1-2 kWh battery. The BEV cult has poisoned the well on alternative options with misinformation. In reality, they need to look at the limitations of their own idea.

Hypx,
@Hypx@mastodon.social avatar

@NVEVA In the short run, there are other types of EVs, namely hybrids and PHEVs, that can be implemented faster. BEV fanatics have demonized them, and are pushing for 100% BEVs, even when it is impractical. This is really about pushing a product, not coming up with a solution to emissions.

There are no "studies" suggesting hydrogen is impractical. Mostly it is BEV propaganda disguised as studies. In reality, FCEVs already exist right now and work 100% as viable cars. /1

Hypx,
@Hypx@mastodon.social avatar

@NVEVA Since FCEVs are also EVs, but without the giant battery, they will likely be much cheaper to produce. They will also be cheap to operate, following expansion of green energy and infrastructure buildout.

It is reasonable to assume that FCEVs will be the cheapest type of EV to drive at some point in the future. Some studies have suggested this:

@stib @NVEVA Sure, mass transit is a better idea. You can even have directly electrified vehicles like trolleybuses.

But eventually, you will need cars for special cases. Those special cases do not favor BEVs, which really exist in a area where mass transit makes more sense.
