From your living room: “Energize!”
A few sec later, you already in LA :)

(Now where can we find dilithium crystals to provide unlimited energy)

bcoz of your laziness but hoping for luxury..end up with bribery. a matter of sharing the chain of events.

most malaysian have more than 1 car. EV in the next 10 years will be for 2nd car. it will not replace the ICE immediately. U still need ICE for long journeys and outstations. understand?

I supports EV for 2nd car bcoz im burning hole in my wallet just paying for petrol. Unless you have no IQ on wise money spending.

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:12:46 +0000 http://paultan.org/?p=136041#comment-816557 I may not be an engineer, but we have scientists and engineer in Malaysia that can think of a way to harvest H2 from the abundance of natural resources.

Which is why, im rooting for the tech to be brought in, so that our researchers and brilliant minds can think of a way to make it more efficient and maybe make it cheap.

Who knows, maybe they might discover another alternative other than H2. Sticky notes was an experiment that went wrong, but 3M are selling millions and millions of those world wide.

Since we don’t have a playboy billionaire philanthropist here in Malaysia to develop an Arc Reactor, FCEV is the nearest thing that we can relate to and can be considered to be THE future.

Even if temporarily we have to harvest H2 from natural gas, isn’t that still cheaper than petroleum? Agreeing to what Bujang Lapuk said, Car of tomorrow should not be far off from the car of today in terms of refueling/recharge time and its range, which HONDA have achieved with its FC-X. Though not exactly, but roughly they are on the right track.

It’s either you recharge at home / hotel / stations for hours with battery driven cars OR the same old refuel method with hydrogen instead of our RON 95/97.

When you are running a long distance journey, would you prefer to spend a few minutes refueling hydrogen or a few hours recharging batteries in the station?

And with hydrogen, the big fuel companies can stay relevant switching to providing hydrogen instead of petrol/diesel. Do you think Shell, Petronas gonna just stand aside and let electric cars take over for good? When they start providing hydrogen in their stations everywhere, will you buy a Honda FCX Clarity or charge your car for hours each day and worry about the aging battery?

It can’t take too long (in my view, 15 minutes tops) to be fully charged, and has to have a range equivalent to the cars of today.

Take away any of these, and unless the shortcomings are rectified, it’s immediately apparent that it isn’t the “car of the future”.

Or using Fuel Cell such as used in Terminator. 1 piece of Fuel Cell can last for decade power generation. Or use in Ironman.

But, not for sale though, for lease only. And only available at Southern California. For $600/month and three years, you can drive it as if you own it.

The Washington Post asked in November 2009, “But why would you want to store energy in the form of hydrogen and then use that hydrogen to produce electricity for a motor, when electrical energy is already waiting to be sucked out of sockets all over America and stored in auto batteries…?” The paper concluded that commercializing hydrogen cars is “stupendously difficult and probably pointless. That’s why, for the foreseeable future, the hydrogen car will remain a tailpipe dream”.LOL !!!

Where do you think H2 come from? 99% of the H2 worldwide is made of natural gas, only 1% is made by electrolysis (electric current + water).

Bila lagi nak sign MoU and bring this tech here? Hybrid(petrol+electric) and electric cars ARE solutions but they are not THE future! I’m rooting for a greener Malaysia!
