Do they sell pies
Well United certainly does - Pie Face.
The other problem with Battery EV as opposed to H2 EV, H2 is easier to tax, grid electricity is a problem as it doesn't just supply EV's and also as VC says most can mitigate their costs with PV.
So that will mean even bigger tank as you need to store the useless nitrogen!!
None but imagine if the infrastructure is already there whereas the electricity grid is not...How about looking at it the other way around.
Suppose that all cars are electric and someone's proposing that we switch to a system which:
*Requires the consumption of a liquid which needs to be frequently purchased in substantial volume. In practice this requires dedicated retail outlets, it is not practical to supply the required volume in bottles or other containers sold via normal shops, and a network of such facilities will need to be constructed to enable the operation of these vehicles.
*This liquid is toxic to the natural environment if spilled, is extremely flammable and ignites explosively, is a carcinogen and also readily evaporates thus requiring careful storage. Every vehicle needs to carry this material, without which it immediately ceases to operate.
*Production of this liquid requires finding suitable places in which to drill holes in the ground, extracting a liquid which then requires considerable processing to be suitable for use.
*Finding of locations suitable for the drilling of these holes is itself a major and costly exercise. Locations thought to be suitable are, when drilled, often found to be unsuitable in practice.
*Places known to be suitable for the extraction of said liquid are predominantly on the other side of the world, in harsh physical environments and in non-Western countries such that maintaining supplies is likely to involve major political implications and perhaps even an effectively permanent military presence around these locations.
*The liquid in question is a finite resource and will ultimately run out.
*Use of this system involves each vehicle being fitted with something known as an exhaust. This emits an assortment of gases including some which form urban smog, are toxic to humans or which scientists consider likely to alter the planet's climate permanently.
Now apart perhaps from some very specific purposes which do not apply to ordinary consumers or small business, can anyone give me a good reason why we'd switch from EV's to this alternative system which for simplicity we'll refer to as "internal combustion"?
From what I've read frog, about 5kg's of liquid H2 is good for about 500klm, the cylinders will be as oxy or acetelene tanks are now, tested pressure vessels as the hydrogen will be at high pressure.
Now that would be one way to make a car move.
This is actually true. They have 400-600% markups on goods in store. Those 24/7 types of stores actually can return your initial investment in the first year when located around certain areas of Sydney.
You misunderstood what i meant
My mistake: the boosters you refer to were the small side ones, the huge enormous one was indeed H2 liquid and was the main tank
From what I've read frog, about 5kg's of liquid H2 is good for about 500klm, the cylinders will be as oxy or acetelene tanks are now, tested pressure vessels as the hydrogen will be at high pressure.
But in reality this isn't a major hurdle, you can already buy liquid H2 bottles from BOC, it wouldn't be a great deal of difference from the filling of LPG and taxis have been doing that for half a century.

From the article:
The FCV uses Toyota's proprietary, small, light-weight fuel cell stack and two 70 MPa high-pressure hydrogen tanks placed beneath the specially designed body. The Toyota FCV concept can accommodate up to four occupants. For the full-scale market launch in 2015, the cost of the fuel cell system is expected to be 95% lower than that of the 2008 Toyota FCHV-adv.[23]
The Mirai has two hydrogen tanks with a three-layer structure made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic consisting of nylon 6 from Ube Industries[46] and other materials. The tanks store hydrogen at 70 MPa (10,000 psi). The tanks have a combined weight 87.5 kg (193 lb).[4][42] and 5 kg capacity.
Toyota's news release for the 2021 Mirai refers to a 30% increase in range due to increased hydrogen storage capacity, but does not specify the capacity.
The official Toyota consumption declaration states hydrogen is consumed at the rate of 0.8 kg/100 km (2.8 lb/100 miles) on the combined urban/extra urban cycle.
The biggest problem diesel is going to have is political pressure, as is happening in Europe, where they are to be banned in the next few years.
Which is a shame, because I think they are far better, than petrol engined cars.
The thermodynamic efficiency is higher and the soot particles can be collected with DPF filters, which now are extremely good.
Just my opinion.
