I guess this where me and you disagree which is ok. But I've lived in Europe 30 yrs. 150 mile is a long distance in Europe.
"A positive attitude doesn't change the laws of physics. So far no one is close."
Wow what noble reply. So, how do you know this? Popular Mechanics? Are you a automotive or aeronautical or Engineer who attends conferences on the subject 2 or 3 times a yr? No one is close to what? we're not looking for perfection. Just something that gives you 300-400 miles per tank/charge, 20-30 mpg/Miles per "what ever the source is" and curbs our emission by a considerable percentage.
Why did LPG NEVER take over a large part of the market? they've had this technology in Europe of over 45 yrs. They'd take a LPG tank put it in the trunk and hook it up to the motor (very simplified version) and after practically running out petroleum they switch over to LPG through a switch up front by the steering wheel, and get another 140 miles extra. Why didn't we Expand on that technology?
"It's not nearly as dark as some would have you believe. Most of the doom and gloom is from people with a vested interest in making you believe it will be doom and gloom. "
Uhm yeeeah. You're that person.
"RV's and big trucks really aren't the best place to start."
Who said they WERE the best place to start? We've been discussing EV's and hybrids and other forms of energy in these forums for yrs. EV's have been around since 1896. We should be beyond EV's at this point.
Soo, Mr Savant, you really haven't offered anything Positive. No nothing, just negative nit picking and tearing down whatever the market is trying to come up with to get away from ICE's. Do you have anything POSITIVE to contribute? ANYTHING that will leave people with some HOPE? ANYTHING?
