Electric vehicles....

That's what I thought they would do, then a driver could quickly "re-fuel" by sliding in a fresh pack.

But, they are using many different sizes of batteries and building the vehicles in a "skateboard" design so the batteries are very low in the vehicle. I get one reason why, a low center of gravity, but you have to pull the body off some of these to replace the batteries when the time comes.

I can see where it can't be done for cars, but the planes could have battery packs plucked out like a cargo pod and replaced with a modified telahandler faster than a plane could be refueled,,, just have to make sure they don't fall out mid flight!!

'lectric airplanes ?

...... and just think how long the electrical extension cords would have to be !


( although, I think Guard Dad has a whole night-stand filled with those recalled Amazon male-to-male extension cords. Maybe he could lend out a few ?? )

Toyota Has The Perfect Alternative To The EV and Could Revolutionize The Market

Toyota thinks the hydrogen combustion engine would be the solution to all pollution problems. And now the Japanese automaker wants to burst the market with this change.

Same as EVs, infrastructure is critical for this to work. Hydrogen is very hard to work with. (Just ask NASA who is dealing with H2 leaks on their big rocket). The other issue is where to get it? Several different reactions can create it but creating the catalyst metals is like making lithium. You can create hydrogen using electric currents in water but like EVS, what’s going to generate the power?

Need to see how the entire system will work.
 
Toyota's statements about EVs are pretty telling. I think they have a better grasp on this than most do.

Stellantis seems to get it as well.
