subaru power !

melts your heart? yuck

Porsche recently announced that they will offer reproduction magnesium engine cases to replace the brittle and decomposing originals in their '64 to '78 911.

In my opinion this is a marketing campaign designed to placate old Porsche enthusiasts until they die and have been replaced by their kids who want to drive EVs

I wouldn’t say “important”, just a nice to have

Yep it will be like horses these days. There will be a niche group of people (like myself) that enjoy taking their ICE vehicles to track days and Sunday drives who will use these efuels and ethanol like race fuels. Unless someone is just filthy rich we won't see many people running their daily commuting appliance on efuels. My track day car will always be an ICE stick shift and my commuter will be an EV, and the funny thing my EV is faster than my track car but the track car is just a soulful rewarding experience to drive and work on.

@@patrickcorcoran4828That will be at least 60 years though. I'm 24 and I belong to the group you described. Don't get me wrong most people my age have no problem with EVs but car enthusiasts even under 25 are not fans of EVs.

​​​@@patrickcorcoran4828you think their kids will want to drive EVs? Lol the passion for a vrooming engine gets passed down many a times. If they see enough of their friends for in an exploding lithium battery car they'll want something safer. I hope there is a meeting of technologies between electric batteries and combustible fuels. Maybe a buttery battery with synthetic hydrocarbons and electrolytes in a solution, or gel-like electrolyte that gets switched in and out of cars and they get charged by the fuel station with a solar grid. This way people can just line up, plug in charged jellies, at the gas station and then go, instead of sitting with a plug at the EV charging area for an hour or two.

are they tho? idk vice use to be great but became awful and made stupid articles on against anime and stuff now their laying off so much they pretty much could go bankrupt

Hydrogen is a viable fuel for internal combustion engines. They make is as a step in producing the e-fuel. It would be cheaper, more efficient, and cleaner. CNBC never asks "why not make the 911 run on hydrogen?" This was not a report. it was a commercial for Porsche.

​@@seanj3667 this is an expensive way to raise hydrogen. Fuel cells don't scale cheaply. The fuel itself won't be contained cheaply, and adds weight to the vehicle as well. Infrastructure doesn't exist so energy will be expended to create it. Ironically the methanol produced is a great way to store the hydrogen cheaply. But then it costs more energy to get it back out again, so it's more efficient to just burn the methanol or use it in a fuel cell directly.

@@identiticrisis you left out the word "yet" a couple times. They don't scale cheaply... yet. the infrastructure does not exist... yet

@@seanj3667 no of course. But it's best to use sunk costs (carbon) before expending new. The existing infrastructure for hydrocarbons can still be used for carbon negative hydrocarbons, for example. That would result in an immediate reduction in carbon in the atmosphere with no additional infrastructure (carbon) cost. Then, when it is ready (yet) carbon can be strategically spent where it will have the greatest impact It requires collective action on multiple fronts now and for ever.

Achieving significant returns isn't about volatile stocks; it's about effectively balancing risk and reward. Proper position sizing and leveraging your advantage repeatedly are essential, whether you're a long-term investor or a day trader.

Certainly, many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. A few summers ago, during a tough divorce, I sought a licensed advisor who, through diligent work, boosted my business from $190k to around $720k despite inflation.

wow that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.

The Adviser I'm in touch with is *'Jude Ryan McDonough'* , he works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me her strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.

Thanks, I just googled him I'm really impressed with his credentials. I reached out to him since I need all the assistance I can get.

Yeah, look at that 3% market share that EVs have now.. big whoop. Soooo many people are confused and think EVs are the future. They aren’t. You’ll see. Internal combustion is going nowhere.

yah, youll be thrilled when the lectric car wont let you go to on vacation to help save the earth.

​@@SwigerQ86 This is you 👉🤡

Two small problems mentioned. 1 hydrogen from salt water is still in development stage, and may not be scalable. To make it legal carbon capture has to work. No company, (no matter how much money even the US government has given) has been able to make it work. The video even says how much of a challenge these two problems are. Good luck Porsche.

@@SwigerQ86 I like clean air with EV.. the earth doesn't need saving. It is the quality of life for living things. Not that it means much to you.

they tried with corruption. thats a big problem. heads will roll in germany

@@timopint1125 Corruption isn't illegal in Germany so nothing will happen.

yeah, EV should be 'superior' for people that wants personal transportation, and ICE is for someone that really into cars

Yep, taking a page from history, if they want to keep the soul of an ICE car they have to create a fueling network that doesn't rely on pumping carbon out of the ground and into the atmosphere. Even if it is five times as expensive as regular fuel these cars get driven so rarely it won't hit the folks who can afford it in the wallet too heavily. I plan on using them for my track day car when they become available, stick shift ICE sports cars all the way for fun. EV for commuting appliances where nearly all measurable environmental impact from cars comes from.

@@burnedmozzarella Yeah for 95% of people EVs will more than meet all their needs once they figure out how to deal with renters and people who don't have dedicated parking spots. The other 5% that enjoys driving will still need combustion engine vehicles (I don't care what 0-60 times EVs can put down with all that torque at zero, they have no soul), but I'm not terribly concerned with 5% of people still using gasoline.

You two are doing more for the Earth than any of these EV cvnts.

EXACTLY I don’t know why everyone thinks electric evs are more climate friendly, the amount of lithium that needs to be mined, transportation for the batteries to be made which are then transported again to a car assembly factory. Not to mention the fact that most counties simply don’t have the infrastructure to provide 100% clean energy to power these cars.

@@faisalahmed05tm66 Why is it people are only concerned about mining for EV batteries and have never been concerned about mining for electronics, or steel or coal or drilling for oil and gas? Mining for battery materials means less steel used in engines and less oil used to run them. Though to be fair batteries are just as recyclable as steel engines and it tends to be car frames rather than engines that rust to nothing and thus can't be recycled. All lifecycle analyses shows the carbon footprint of EVs is a lot lower than ICE cars at the current grid mix of fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable electricity and every year the grid gets cleaner as more wind and solar come online and they shut down the old expensive coal and natural gas power plants.

@@patrickcorcoran4828 have you seen the issues with mining that Lithium, Cobalt and other rare earth materials that happen? EV owners often play advocates for "we are making world better" when all they do is move the issue from one country to another. Fossil fuel/coal/iron mining/drilling is way safer to get compared to battery materials. When was the last time you needed a child without foot wear to mine materials for your $100 000 gas car?

Toyota wants hydrogen fuel too. They do not believe in full EV either. Pretty sure they're on to something but ok.

@@SinlowMusic Toyota has started walking away from hydrogen fuel. And their sleeping on PEVs meant they squandered all the head start that the Prius gave them. They're behind manufacturers like Hyundai, Ford, and Volkswagen now

Yea EV cars will be in museums next to the dodo

@@SinlowMusic hydrogen is so far behind. you can buy a hydrogen car right now but it’s only usable in california.

No... This will be used to sell new cars too. That's why Germany fought the 2035 mandate. EVs make horrible sports cars, and the Germans specialize in sports car. Sports car make up a very small percentage of total cars sold. All the already soulless boring crossovers can go ev...

Another example could be record players and the vinyl records. Objectively an outdated analog technology that nevertheless not only still hangs around but even made a comeback. I’m a classic car lover - if they manage to survive in their niche thanks to efuels I’m happy and totally don’t mind if everyday transportation runs on batteries.

We already do, it's called alcohol, and it's been used in engines for nearly two centuries.

Sorry environmentalists already decided that farming and/or processing of the materials required to create e-fuels is bad for the environment. Also, it's usually a crop that poor third world countries need for food.

You'll be an EV fan until you realize that the batteries make up an integral part of the structure of the car in most cases and cannot be replaced. Look it up. I was surprised by that too but it makes sense that they would take these kinds of shortcuts because everything today is throw away...

@@lanpartyanimal5215 That's only true of the newest Tesla Model 3's and Tesla Model Y's, but I agree that it is a mistake. You can still replace the batteries since the pack shell is the structural component, not the batteries themselves, but it makes it a lot harder for independent mechanics to fix packs. That fits into Tesla's anti-right-to-repair stance, which I still don't understand because they haven't built out enough service centers to take care of their 11-year-old Model S's.

@@lanpartyanimal5215 Strange that. Cleveleys Electric Vehicles here in Gloucestershire, England, have already replaced and refurbished a number of EV battery packs...... Just because *you* aren't aware of it doesn't mean it can't be done......

Then extract for use as hydrogen how, in what reliable & efficient way? Electricity's very easily transported, not that there's a need when it can just be generated anywhere.

Electricity can easily be transported very long distances with high voltage DC lines.

Yeah no, electricity is easily transported over far distances. It would be cheaper to do that

​@@bftjoe so why are we using AC then?

@Unstable sid High voltage AC is cheaper for short distance lines and easier to change voltage. HVDC lines require DC-AC converters, which are more expensive than AC-AC converters, so the efficiency savings over AC are only worthwhile for lines over a certain length.

The beetle is the most popular EV conversion. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hOCfppii35nDcWg.html

🤣

Evs are great in what way? Straight line acceleration? Nothing else is appealing about them.

Exactly as a 23 year old car enthusiast myself when I heard Toyota was going to release the GR corolla with a six speed manual and a 1.6 L turbo charged in line 3 cylinder that produces 300 hp and 276 foot pounds of torque also with an all-wheel-drive system I about Peed myself with excitement and the icing on the cake is it comes with a mechanical handbrake that’s cable operated, and every other thing is pretty much mechanical the all wheel drive system the waste gate on the turbocharger the cooling system It’s essentially a love letter to the older cars that were all mechanical not to mention it’s a hot hatch, which is cool in itself but it’s purpose built to be fun and fast and put a smile on your face now if they would’ve made the GR corolla electric or even hybrid with a CVT automatic transmission it would’ve just been another dismal car on the road that meant absolutely nothing even if it had performance parts like good suspension and big disc brakes, and the carbon fiber roof that cut its weight down by 22 pounds on the circuit edition and even the much lighter Morizo edition that’s more track focused because it does not have a backseat it would’ve still been very heavy because of the batteries and electric motors, a dismal boring car thank goodness they didn’t do that to the GR corolla life is dismal enough with every new car, being a hybrid or an EV with a CVT transmission with a stupid name so I am very happy what Porsche is doing and I do think it is the answer with the E fuel electric vehicles are not the future at least my future anyway because I won’t be caught dead in one those cars are more like iPhones with a bigger lithium battery. Where is the enthusiasm and passion in that I know they have excellent acceleration, but that’s about all they possess that interest me and that doesn’t really make a fun exciting car that puts a smile on your face every time you drive it because you’re missing one vital component the noise, the noise of a naturally aspirated, or turbo charged and supercharged engine and modifications, of course tuning the engines to make some get more power. That’s also fun which electric cars would be taking away because you really can’t make an electric car go faster by tuning it, or throwing some performance parts to it besides tires and brakes and suspension you really can’t do anything to the battery or the electric motors that I know of anyway but even still, it’s not as enjoyable as there internal combustion engine counterparts

EV's are booring, they all drive the same, EV's are a step to just get people of the vehicles, and use public transportation and be dependent on government and loose their freedom of going anywhere they want and be confined to a 15 minute city and be slaves

EVs are not great for the majority of drivers; they are great for a very small minority of urban drivers - namely those in fairly dense cities in smaller, rich countries. Any timeline to phase out ICEs by X date is nothing but a gamble at this point that we'll have a magical breakthrough in battery tech before that date

I like dinosaurs too!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLeWntKbsc69Z4k.html

Right. That is for sure. The thing is, is that efuel is baloney. You want REAL gasoline and the highest octane at that for a Porsche , Mustang , etc. The only true source for top grade gasoline is from crude oil. All this talk about climate change, carbon footprint, and sustainability is nothing more than a trick played by the power elites of Western Europe, the U.K., and North America on their own people. Like all these decades has gone by and very little if anything about EV's and now it is like 'oh no, too much carbon in the atmosphere. We should all remember , plants and vegetation breathe in carbon and give off oxygen so that us humans can live. The reasoning of the present day power elites is badly bent out of shape.

True however firstly they will probably at some point ban gasoline and secondly we already have a lot of tax on regular fuel so it will probably become very expensive. E Fuels wouldnt be taxed the same way

@@burgholte Great points

Petrol costs only around $3 a gallon, the rest is tax. The $10 is only production cost in 30+ years, once the process is scaled up. Estimated price in 2035 is closer to $16 a gallon plus tax.

@@Psi-Storm Still cheaper than buying an expensive electric car and maintenance for batteries

@@1marcelfilms There isn't going to be any maintenance for the batteries. It's now coming out that the batteries form an integral part of the car and can't be replaced in most of them. Can you say toxic waste dumps?

@@lanpartyanimal5215 while batteries don't need as much maintenance as ICE component, god foraskes you if it's broken, as it can cost as much as the car itself

how is it $8+ that makes no sense.... $5 is insane and $3 per gallon is normal

So the oil industry tells you how dirty battery production is and you just believe that? Battery packs are made out of 300kg of aluminium, 50 kg of plastics, 10 kg of lithium and small amounts of Nickel, Manganese and Cobalt, or alternatively Iron oxide in LFP batteries. How is that dirtier than producing any other big expensive metal product. Then you have to go after big cars first, because almost everybody could just drive around in a subcompact, that weights half as much. When we stop burning fossil fuels, half of the world wide mining operations will cease to exist, which would be a massive improvement for the environment, but that isn't something you would hear from the fossil fuel industry.

We do have nuclear ships

Would benefit more from more batteries & charging infrastructure. Carbon vapor poison pumps aren't needed.

Hence JCB's hydrogen policy.

By the time E fuel has any advantages, battery EV adoption will be over 70%. EFuel and hydrogen are DOA.

​@@nguyep4 That's interesting. The same exact things were said about EV's when mpg regulations were introduced.

But the problem there will be that the gradual decline in ICE manufacturing will mean the target market is constantly shrinking. Would you put big bucks into an e fuels market you knew was shrinking from day 1?

​@Brian-om2hh I don't believe EVs should be the only solution to climate change, nor should it be an absolute one. The same thing goes for E-fuels. I look at them as options and choices for keeping the earth clean. And sports car manufacturers are exempt from ICE bans, since they make a small amount of cars per year. Porsche and Ferrari are keeping the tradition alive, regardless of the electric future. And I don't even care if Electric cars are slower than the ICE cars. All that matters is that the ICE cars owners will have their fun, while being aware of climate change. And to me, in my honest opinion, I find it quite insulting for car companies trying to make their electric sports cars trying to put in fake sounds and exhaust to make it sound authentic, like, it doesn't really work for me. But if it's something that the customers want, save that as a different or alternative version of the same ICE car being produce at the same time. And we won't go anywhere without making compromises, such as saving electric cars for Econoboxes, and ICEs for sports cars. That way, we could stop demonizing each other, and let us live our lives with the cars we choose. There are also some young people that still want to hear the sound of the engines, so don't generalize that all of them will just suddenly stop and switch to EVs. There's nothing wrong with having that feeling of nostalgia for car sounds, as long as you respect them for having that. With that in mind, I hope this eases the dread of having to give up the passion of car engine sounds that we are all used to for years.

For now, not yet

@@hectornecromancer5308 Get real. It's a non starter. It's been estimated the US alone would need around 9000 e fuel manufacturing plants similar to the one in Chile, to supply it's needs..... It's not happening.

​@@Brian-om2hh the one in Chile is currently only pilot scale. Real plants will produce thousands of times as much. There are 120 petroleum refineries in the US alone.

EAT THE RICH!

Yea but thats normal, every new tech breakthrough is expensive until its easy to produce through many years of work and then price decreases.

​@@minecraft101fever It's the same story with electronic goods like TV and smartphones. First gen products always cost a lot to buy.

Luxury companies only wanna target the rich now. They gonna put subscriptions on everything & increase prices hoping you catch up.

A transition to electric vehicles on a global scale will take a century since billions of people live in electricity starvation. And creating a powerful and flexible grid will cost untold trillions and take decades. Just look at India, they consume less than 1000 kWh/person/year. The average EV driving 10 000 miles a year will require roughly three times that amount. And this doesn't even take into consideration the supply crunch on major materials such as copper.

Its porsche, not porscha murricans cant pronounce anything its crazy.

Dude what 🤣🤣🤣

lol thanks for the laugh

That’s why they all will go bankrupt pretty soon

@@awilmymartinez3707 the only people that gonna go bankrupt are those buying battery electric. We all know batteries degrade after a certain amount of recharge and the cost to replace those batteries aren't cheap and add the cost of charging and the mileage tax they gonna put on it. for the cost of one of those batteries I can buy all the gas needed for the life of a car, battery electric is just not worth buying.

@@awilmymartinez3707 "Are you sure about that? Are you suuuuuure about that?"

@@awilmymartinez3707 Toyota? Bankrupt? Dude😂

@@awilmymartinez3707 do you think Toyota only sell cars in the West? The Asian and African markets are decades away from complete EV overhaul. Toyota's hybrid will reign supreme in these markets. While BMW will cater to the growing middle/upper class in the said markets, who don't give 2 cents about electrification.

It surprises you that EV advocates aren’t intellectually honest when talking about EVs?

Don't forget... don't run your car to 0 and don't charge over 80%. That takes you to 50% of the electricity you paid for, moving the car but only in summer, when it's not too hot. In winter, you have roughly 20% of the electricity you paid for, available to move you.

Probably. The point seems to be that 65% is much higher than the 16 or 17? of ICE engines.

@@Restorationshopyt , nope. I love details and if you're going to put them in your video, they should pass the sniff test. Or at least explain why your numbers are not adding up.

Well try considering that the oil industry has been mining cobalt for *decades* and you might begin to get some idea. They need cobalt to remove sulphur during the refining process, and are the largest users of mined minerals on the planet. By contrast, the latest EV's are now using cobalt *free* batteries....... And as for emissions, just try shutting yourself in your garage with your car engine running, and see how long it is before you break the door down to get some air. Then repeat the same thing with a switched on electric car. Then let us know which one you felt was worse for emissions and your well being.......

​@@Brian-om2hhWhy must you think that the future of EVs is absolute? You might never know if the E-fuels would work or not, but at least give Porsche some credit. And I believe in compromise, that being keeping EVs for regular economy cars, and ICE cars for small niche markets. So what Porsche is doing here is another way of satisfy the people who like the sound of the ICE engines, while co-existing with the electric cars as well. Ferrari is also doing that as well. These are my hopes for it to be kept alive, but I won't know until we hit 2035 or close to it, since you and me are predicting something that we might not know will happen over the span of the next decade. That being said, we have to explore other solutions to solving climate issues, not just relying solely on Electric cars as the only solution.

Hopefully they won’t cheat this time like with dieselgate …

And what do you think the huge consumer incentives to buy BEVs come from?

No, Porsche is also going electric. The electric Taycan is selling almost as much as the 911. Together with Audi they developed a new high performance electric platform which will be released with the Macan and the Boxster in 1-2 years. The Boxster won't even get a new ice model, it will only be sold as a full electric.

Lamborghini and Toyota

My dad's Taycan needed a battery replacement after 12k miles and it has been sitting at the shop for 6 months now. When he called, the rep said that there are 3 cars ahead of him so he probably will have to wait even longer. Even service intervals took them weeks to complete while it only took 1 or 2 days for my Tesla.

@@duerf5826 I concur.

@@Brian-om2hh Very true; however, you can relatively transport fuel easily all over the world, as well as power vehicles with it. EV powering has a lot of catching up to do- would you agree?

Peeps like you work for Tesla, peeps who don't know 2/6 is reducible to 1/3 work for Porsche. 🤣

Probably in the future. But not for the time being

The highest energy concentration is liquid hydrogen followed by LNG. These both already exist.

I believe so, but it may take a while. I live in New Jersey, a highly dense state located between Philadelphia and New York City. My state should consider in building e-fuel factories.

I don't have one , so FU

I'm from New Jersey, a state with a lot of CO2 emissions due to the nature of high density and having large cities like Newark, Trenton, and Jersey City, all located between Philadelphia and New York City. My state should consider in creating e-fuel stations.

At least conceptually the idea is that you take the carbon out of the air, the fuel is burned, putting all the carbon back in the air. But since it is carbon you had extracted from the air (vs from oil), the idea is that you have a draw and as such aren't adding to the net amount in the air. In practice it'll depend very heavily on how efuels are actually made.

@@JT_771 Doesn't address the prob of the other poisons.

@@heinousanus9352 This is true. On the upside, efuels have so many problems they'll never be in contention for wide use.

E-fuels and current petrol are chemically identical. There would be no need to convert an ICE for the use of e-fuels. Any ICE can use e-fuels. However, e-fuels is no true solution for the problem you see with EV cars. To make e-fuels one has to generate electricity, produce hydrogen and capture carbon from the air, and then combine those to make methanol as explained in the video. But to generate electricity without CO2 you need either windturbines or solar panels. Both require rare earth metals to function and mining those are environmentally polluting in the same way as lithium mining is. And in general those metals are only mined in China, so you have to deal with that country, whereas lithium is mined in many more countries around the world. And, yes, if you want to charge your EV you also need solar panels or windturbines, so you have to deal with mining the same metals. But as EVs are about 5 to 6 times more efficient well to wheel, you need 5 to 6 times less of those metals. And to make hydrogen you need an electrolyzer that also requires some material that need to be mined and thus pollute. This is a step you don't need for an EV. So, you might be familiar with the pollution caused by lithium mining, but the alternatives also need materials to be mined and thus pollute in the same way, but that story isn't told as often. And just to add. Just because there isn't a well-to-wheel emission of CO2, doesn't mean that the same goes for the other tailpipe emissions. In the combustion process in an ICE nitrogen from the outside air bonds with other elements in the combustion and creates NOx. Changing to e-fuels doesn't change that. The same goes for particulate matter, soot and some other trace gasses. Although mostly not contributing to climate change, those pollutants are bad for air quality, cause health problems and have the potential to cause problems for flora and fauna. The only way to get rid of that is to make a change to cars without tailpipe emissions, thus cars with combustion engines.

there are some videos already investigated your pollution concerns. Even if the pollution is the same, I don't want to inhale exhaust at my house vs a power plant burning coal 3000 miles away. Also, for people own a home with reliable charging at night, cannot get any better. Why waste time going to gas station, hydrogen, eFuel station to refill when you can charge at home while you sleep. EV is not perfect and it's not for everyone, but for most daily usage owners, the benefits out-weight the concerns. Of course, there are people still using old tech like DVDs, so not going to go there. Peace.

@@xavierdarche4822 "But to generate electricity without CO2 you need either windturbines or solar panels." False, you need nuclear energy, especially because the waste heat from a nuclear power plant can be used for the production of the e-fuels. "In the combustion process in an ICE nitrogen from the outside air bonds with other elements in the combustion and creates NOx." This is almost completely eliminated from the tailpipe of modern gasoline-burning cars by the catalytic converter. The particulate emissions from modern gasoline vehicles are also negligible. Modern gasoline vehicles are extremely clean and would be significantly cleaner when burning e-fuels, as e-fuels don't contain many of the less desirable compounds which are found in petroleum products and burn cleaner as a result.

@@PistonAvatarGuy Even if you want to use nuclear power plants. You need roughly 6 times as many nuclear power plants if you want to use the electricity to make e-fuels compared to using it for charing BEVs. And even if it's viable to use waste heat for e-fuels, that waste heat can better be used to heat homes, a far more efficient use. So, as you need 6 times as many nuclear power plants, I don't think you can find the political will to build that many extra nuclear power plants in almost any country. At least here in Europe there is already pushback to build any nuclear power plant, let alone build 6x more than the hundreds already needed for a CO2 free electricity production.

@@xavierdarche4822 It's not quite that simple, because you could use a significant amount of energy from a nuclear power plant that is normally wasted, so you'd just be using the system more efficiently. Electric cars also require significantly more energy to produce when compared to ICE vehicles, so that skews the comparison. The following could be true: The electricity produced by a nuclear power plant could be used to power electric vehicles (including public transportation vehicles and trains which are always connected directly to the grid), while the waste heat (which will exist anyway) could be used to produce e-fuels for aircraft and a small number of ICE vehicles on the roads... or on race tracks And, no, you can't often use the waste heat from a nuclear reactor in homes, the distances between the reactors and the homes are typically too great. We're going to need nuclear anyway, so-called "renewables" have been proven to be a pathetic joke.

Probably, but it would be even more expensive than renewables and even building a test plant would likely take 15 years of time we don't really have

Hey look everyone, a rich person that only cares about themselves!

@@m4rvinmartian That’s a indescribable passion.

To me that’s worth it, even the e-fuel costs.

They aren't doing it for you.......

Correct, still puts out pollution

You got your numbers wrong there chief. 40% loss is driving an old gen 1 Tesla Model S with the heat on full blast. Modern EVs use heat pumps so you're looking at a 20%-25% range reduction in cold weather now. Sitting in sub-zero temperatures the battery management system uses 5%-10% per day to maintain the pack. Fortunately people with EVs charge at home, so its plugged in and that loss doesn't matter. I'll take my $0.60 per gallon equivalent electricity even if I do lose a few cents a day for two weeks in the winter.

Well I mean … we are gonna need parts to build all of these EVs

We will never get to 100% EV renewable energy. The economics of it clearly show it's not possible.

what energy sources will be used to melt/refine and reform? and possibly more to the point, where will all of this be happeneing? i hope sodium batteries are used over lithium to avoid downstream effects of mining. I'd like to see vehicle manufacturers sort out ice to ev converstion programs with emphasis on in city commuting.

Same as all the dead ICE cars now. Recycled.

It's a scam...

Even at $40 a gallon? Just to give you an idea of the cost ball park, we in Britain have had Aspen synthetic petrol for decades. It costs around £30 to £35 per gallon......

@@Brian-om2hh I live in Canada and we don't have that. Regular or E85... And like they said, It's not scaled yet! Even at 40 yes, I would buy... To help scale the price down! 2$ a gallon is about .65/L It's what I used to pay for my 1st car to fuel, on regular 20 years ago!

*Please stop, you have no idea what you are talking about and all you're doing is a half-assed parroting of a two or 3 headlines you read, but didn't read the story.*

It has already been estimated that the US alone would need 9000 of the e fuel manufacturing plants similar to the one in Chile, to supply it's needs....... There is never going to be anything like enough of this stuff to go on general sale.....

I think it's very efficient to use our smallest humans to mine lithium. Don't you?

In the UK i'm paying a lot of that $10 already to keep my lovely Jaaaag on the road!

@@stevemawer848 I know here in the States we're lucky not to pay that much for gas but I know petrolheads over here find so many other things to blow money on that $10 a gallon gas versus not being able to drive their babies would be an easy sacrifice lol.
