I would be skeptical about any numbers from either China or Russia. In Europe, it seems to be mostly about availability. The US and UK, for all their missteps, seem to have bought a ton of the stuff, while the EU appears to have tripped over its own feet.

The real US/UK difference, if any, will show up over the coming weeks, as eligibility and availability stop being the limiting factor. If the polls predict correctly, the US will slow down a lot, while the UK sails past herd immunity.

Polls are often misleading, since what people say they will do and what they actually do are different -- especially when it can be seen as social posturing. Tiny changes in phrasing can be revealing.

> 100% electric cars isn’t feasible for countries like Japan

Japan heavily subsidises research into Hydrogen. This over anything else, e.g. electric. Quoting a Japanese car manufacturer is therefore a bit biased. Japan has two different energy grids btw, one runs at 50 Hz, the other at 60 Hz. Japan made some really strange decisions regarding their electric grid. That makes Japan unique, it isn't common to have such problems.

For most countries the additional electric requirements aren't that significant. Though there will need to be some behavioural change (possibly helped by some technology). E.g. don't charge everything immediately at once, but align the supply and demand. Meaning, don't charge everything at once, charge more when there's an over supply (e.g. windy day/hour).
I disagree with what he says about co2 and the old “you have to make electricity with something” argument. It wasn’t until I bought a Tesla and did the math myself that I realized how inefficient gas cars are compared to an electricity generating power plant. My equivalent mpg with my electricity rate is something on the order of 150-180 mpg. For trips where we can charge at home (most of our miles) it is a 1/3 of the cost of our Prius to drive.

> To charge these, one would need something like 1MW charging per every 4 cars, which means every 20m of the road, on both sides.

I think your numbers are off by at least two orders of magnitude.

Let's say an average BEV travels 20000 miles per year and that it consumes 400 Wh/mile. Traveling 20k miles per year takes about 21 days assuming 40 mph average speed.

If we assume the car is charging the rest of the time, average power required is (400 Wh/mile * 20000 miles) / (1 year - 21 days) = 0.968 kW average charging power!

That's quite a bit less than 250 kW per car (well, 1 MW per 4 cars) you suggested! It'd still be below 2 kW, even if the car is charging just 50% of the time it's not in use.

Other way to think about is charging from empty to full battery with 11 kW of power: (80 kWh) / (11 kW) = 7.27 hours.

Please also remember charging the battery full would be a rather rare scenario. I'd be surprised if you need even 10 kW power allocation for each 4 cars being charged — 1% of what you suggested. Simply because the batteries in most of the cars are full most of the time!

Hydrogen has a great energy density, that's why it is used in rockets. It may have similar range as battery electric cars but it can scale better.

It can be refueled in minutes, like gas cars.

And the economy is based on using "waste" renewable energy. The problem is that solar panels and wind turbines don't produce energy when we need it the most (see: duck curve). The idea is to store that energy as hydrogen and use it in vehicles.

For commuters with a garage and a charging spot, batteries are more convenient but I think big trucks can benefit more from hydrogen.

Now the big question is, can we modify these hydrogen trucks to "roll steam" at these pesky Teslas.

I found out how to use a vendor-specific command to read the raw data from the buffer of the drive before descrambling and ECC. Look up the "FriiDump" project for some more background information.

Really liked my Nexus phones up until that point, though.

Having done python for many years and coming to Elixir the things that I find Elixir does really well are:

- documentation (both in iex and hexdocs) - Navigating Elixir documentation is standardized and easy

- Immutability - it took a while to get used to but now I wouldn't have it any other way

Electrolysis is only a small factor.

It's all of the other required bits that makes Hydrogen so inefficient. Transportation, building up pressure, etc. Hydrogen if you compare things simply is more efficient than gas/diesel.

> To charge these, one would need something like 1MW charging per every 4 cars

This is massively overestimated. 250kW per car is great for fast charging on road trips but for overnight charging it would be enough to charge a car 30+ times in a single night. 3 to 7kW is more than enough. The grid for that is already there and the chargers can even coordinate to not exceed maximum power if everyone plugs in at the same time and draws the maximum. Almost no infrastructure in the town will need to be changed, the existing grid that supplies all the houses will be enough. After all those cars are owned by people that have electricity at home and are practically not using it while they sleep.
I really really want this to be true. Unfortunately I can just see some ambitious PM picking this up again and trying to push it even harder. "The real reason the previous initiative failed to gain traction was insufficient market education."
