    I just went electric with a Renault Zoe. It's perfect for local journeys, and that's really all I do. I charge it overnight once a week at my home.

    I remember a Document traveling 100 miles in a flash and appearing elsewhere as what we now know as fax. Things have a way of solving, once we know what the problem is. Thank you for a very concise problem presentation with all the battery technology in use for Auto.

    IF you are going to get hydrogen from natural gas, you may as well run your ICE car on LNG and save the problems with handling hydrogen.
  • @GururajBN
    Very instructive video. I didn’t get what is the composition of the solid state battery? Except that the electrolyte is also solid. Request clarification.

    The beauty about SSBs is that once they're adopted into the consumer market, you know who will drive them full scale in his mega-factories, that will have a sharp negative impact on their price !!

    Great informative video into Battery/hydrogen tech. Although I have to disagree with your initials points around hold backs on EV adoption regarding Range anxieties with 300-400 miles of range and long charging times. It's extremely rare to drive 300/400 miles without stopping, you would need a rest stop giving an opportunity to charge, and the charging tech has developed fast passed having to wait >hour to gain substantial charge. With those particular statements, it's the mindset of ICE vehicle drivers that needs to change, which is the comments I get a lot (I have a Nissan e-NV200 with 100-150 miles of range.) Cars that we use for daily driving don't need more than 300/400 miles of range, even today, there may be reason to challenge that if your lifestyle has you driving 100s of miles a week but even then I'd still say that's sufficient range. Further, moving from ICE to EV a key in charging is understanding that it is done alongside other tasks and not as a stand alone activity. I charge my van at home of a 3Kw Plug, from 0%-100% it takes 22 hours... you can imagine the laughs from friends that drive ICE saying, "wow we'll have to give you a day's notice to meet up then" because ICE drivers know filling the car as a stand alone activity where you have to stand at your vehicle filling up. This is completely wrong for EV, even with 150 miles of range it is sooooo much more convenient, I come home, plug the van in (takes ~15 seconds) and I'm done, I just do that at the end of each day. If I'm out on the road, I take a put stop to grab food or use the toilet while charging on a fast charger and I'm good to go. So really, charging an EV means instead of queueing and standing at a fuel pump, you plug in and go about your day with an EV. Great video though, helped me understand the technology inside the batteries. Thanks

    Very educational, thank you. Maybe less music overlay next time, very annoying after a while.
  • @konzekuenze
    Nice video... Hope you get more views and subscribers.

    Thanks a very good summary. What is the future of Graphene in this space ?
  • If you want a metal that can store energy , non explosive and non flammable we should consider Vanadium batteries. They discharge 100% of stored energy and takes about 20 years to degrade ,This is what have been used for our storage of electricity at power plants all along and i find if more efficient compared to Lithium which is explosive and flammable. I am an Engineering Student in South Africa and whoever who is interested on working through this big project , i mean starting this project just give me an email
  • Hydrogen has an energy density problem. While energy per kg is very good, energy per litre is very low (even in liquid form) leading to large fuel tanks. To make matters worse, the high pressure required for hydrogen makes them very heavy.
  • @sevdev9844
    Well, first we want those solid state batteries for mobile devices, bicycles and then early robowaifus. Cars can come later.
  • I was skeptic before buying a Nissan Leaf 2022, 40KW. the autonomy is about 200Km. It is perfect for commuting but also for long distance travels! a Fast Charger in Ireland (Europe) is never too far away and I have visited small town and places I would have never visited otherwise while charging. The best car I've ever driven.
  • Hydrogen infrastructure will need to be built sooner or later for the heavy transports. When that happens, I think we can expect to see more hydrogen cars on the roads.
  • @jonasmous3595
    im going to drive a gas powered car as long as possible but im seriously thinking about investing into ssd companies cause this good be big in the future
  • @antondwi
    What kind of batteries is The Freyr Industries being produced in Giorgia ? Is that Solid State Battery ? It is the best solution Battery for EV, I think.
