Re: Hmm....

I think you will find that most Data center's (Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla).... are powered via renewables. Not necessarily on-site. But they buying the Solar/Wind power from others. Even the Aluminum crew which supposedly is impossible have managed. So, think your in the 2010's and not 2021. :o) Chilled Compressed Air is also a very economical way of holding surplus energy. But, that's only been around for 40 odd years. There is little reason for the hold up except for the Government not know what they are doing. But, that's nothing new is it. :o)

Re: EVs are not the plan

Tell me how many ICE vehicle fires do we have?

Around two cars out of every thousand registered in the UK catch fire each year. It is often the case in accidental auto fires that the bulk of the fire is (at least initially) contained in the engine compartment of the vehicle.

I'll let you Google how many EV fires there have been. Considerably less per 10,000.

Cheers.

Re: Hmm....

How many Petrol Stations do they currently have? ZERO

If 8,380 petrol stations look after the ICE fleet for the UK which have a 300 mile range on average. Why would you need more than 83,000 charge points?

Think about it. Everyone worries because they think they are going to run out of electric. How many ICE run out of petrol per year? "More than 800,000 drivers a year run out of fuel" are they are the better option then?

You just have to do what you currently do and not run down the tank/EV to below the 20% line. But that's using commonsense.

Re: Hmm....

Wake up everyone. The Guys here have already put forward the scheme. https://tagware.info/2021/03/are-we-being-silly-just-trying-to-meet-the-national-grid-30-42gw-targets/

Which of course the world Government's ignore due to their paymasters being in the Petrol & Coal industrials. https://youtu.be/1oVrIHcdxjA for those who like a video explanation.

The National Grid has already stated that they will have no problem powering the EV UK Fleet in 2018. You have all of those batteries filling up over night at home or at the office. When most people are asleep and the National Grid is trying to find people to use electricity. These 50,000 x 50K batteries become a useful place to put the additional electricity. Even got a like from the National Grid on this article: https://tagware.info/2019/09/the-uk-national-grid-to-crash-when-electric-vehicles-charge-all-at-the-same-time/

Batteries use LESS COLBOLT than the Guys producing the Diesel and Petrol do to remove the Sulphur. They forgot to tell you this off course. :o)

The rest is FUD from the parties that are finding out about Stranded Assets. When you don't have the Gas Turbines running over 55% the time. Which is how they are financed, then you go down a finical spiral to Bankruptcy. With Wind and PV forcing the generation of electricity down will happen.

Finally, it's cheaper for the EV chaps to recycle than to dig out of the ground. Just need the volumes which 0.5% of the fleet don't make it yet. But, economics will prevail. TESLA has paitanted a low impact way of get Lithum from the salts that lay in the USA using Salt water.

When you compare the TESLA cooling system with FORD's you can see that the OEM's still have not got the message of LESS is best.

Just watching this will show you. https://youtu.be/m1kHsd3Ocxc

Enjoy the rest of you day everyone.
