So the driver has confirmed that the Prius hit a stationary motorbike and the Tesla which then rear ended the Toureg.

Everyone was taken to hospital but discharged after a few hours.

The Tesla wasn't even his. There's a test of friendship for you...

Hydrogen was taken seriously for over 20 years and we made no progress.

I think if they loose the green flashes and maybe increase the range a little, then they have a big hit with the Fluence.

The fact that it has a 53kWh battery makes me think it even has a Tesla under that bodywork :-D

Reading the news or reading the thread on TMC? :-p

@zamafir

You've run into a dozen Tesla and Tango owners at *UK* events?

Do tell, where? I feel like I'm missing out.

Indeed BEV forklifts with 5 minute recharge have been around for a while.

See http://www.cozen.com/cozendocs/climatechangePDFs/Botsford.pdf

Even Toyota are using them.


Even in the low-speed, walled garden world of warehouses there is no need for hydrogen.

Rubbish. Why do you think trains use electric drives instead of direct mechanical or hydraulic drives? They've been doing this for decades for a good reason: It works.

REEVs are exactly the same.

This is news?

"While noting that in the long-term, electrified propulsion systems will be a major part of the transportation system, he points out that many questions remain unresolved including the readiness of the power grid and generation systems to support large quantities of EVs.

Just as de Nysschen questions these elements, many will make precisely the opposite argument. The reality is likely to fall somewhere in between"

Typical fence sitting.

One of these positions can be calculated and the other is pure (mistaken) opinion.

ABG should stop sitting on the fence and get their calculators out.
