And people wonder why whales beach themselves.

Why limit these fees to foreigners? Why not penalize anyone who is leaving properties empty?

A hydrogen engine is so much worse for efficiency than a hydrogen fuel cell, and even that is not good compared to batteries. I'd estimate the round trip efficiency of a hydrogen engine to be about 10-15%. So for the same energy that could be used to drive a battery EV 100km, this car from Toyota could drive 12km.

Additionally, hydrogen is not very energy dense per volume. A compressed hydrogen tank that replaces the boot/trunk of the car would have enough hydrogen for about 100km of range.

Please let me know if I'm wrong about any of these numbers. For Toyota's sake, I really hope I'm wrong.

This is the worst thing I have seen all year.

The forum post you were referring to.

I have an electric car from 2011. The battery has had no maintenance, and hasn't been replaced.

So far the car has had 2-3 new 12V batteries, at least one new set of tires, windscreen wipers replaced once, and the air conditioner filter replaced a few times. I'm not aware of any other maintenance done to the car.

I suspect the car could have driven up to 150km (95mi) when new, and is now down to 80km (50mi) range. It gets driven no more than 10km in a day, so I suspect it will still be useful to me for another 10 years.

It has saved me a huge amount in fuel, and has barely cost me anything to run.

I really hope those aren't factorials.

Even if cats could talk, and could definately see the stripes, I'm convinced that they wouldn't tell anyone.

I'd recommend an electric car for avoiding oil changes, but I think we still have a few more years until cheap second hand electric cars become available.
