@carcusminsden1310 Subsiding fossil fuels are based on taxable income being generated.
2
@carcusminsden1310 Tax subsidies can be applied for the battery's electricity and fossil fuels since they are both expenses when running a business.

@carcusminsden1310 Subsidies can be cash handouts or tax subsidies. Define the subsidy type. In general, transport costs should be lowered since wages are not low in the OECD countries.

Hydrogen fuel cell EV is between Li-ion battery EVs and ICE-powered vehicles.

@goldreverre Hydrogen storage issue has been solved with metallic sponges. The next step is mass production.

@yggdrasil9039 Most recently, Bjørn Nyland had an opportunity to test the entry-level Made-in-China (MIC) Tesla Model 3 SR+ (currently named Tesla Model 3 RWD) with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) lithium-ion batteries. LFP battery chemistry is known for its limitation of charging at low temperatures (especially below 0°C). We already know that its winter range (at 1°C) is noticeably lower than in the Summer. But it was a test with a normal battery temperature (roughly 25°C). The next episode is about how the cold weather affect the Tesla Model 3. The car was left intentionally with a low state-of-charge and the battery had only a few degrees °C in the morning (outside temperature was 2°C). We can treat it as the worst-case scenario. The EV battery packs are thermally isolated so they maintain temperature quite long. The general operation of the car is surprisingly good and it appears to accelerate normally Regenerative braking is ok (it can reach substantial levels - up to a few times higher than continuous fast charging). However, the fast charging is significantly limited when the battery is cold. After plugging-in, the car was able to barely reach 20 kW at about 11% state-of-charge (SOC), and then it decreased to an even lower level, like 13 kW (after 10 minutes). This proves that the battery temperature is crucial for charging. Fortunately, the pre-conditioning of the battery (heating) ahead of fast charging (car feature), combined with driving (additional heat losses and heat scavenging) improves the charging performance relatively quickly. The later test at 8% SOC with 25°C battery temperature resulted in charging power of 111 kW (and it dropped to 90 kW after a while). The conclusion is to avoid leaving the cars in the cold, disconnected from a charging point, and if that happens, maybe start conditioning immediately to achieve best performance and fast charging capability.

 @yggdrasil9039 Tesla 4680 Battery Cells To Debut In Production In Early 2022. There's a strong chance they will debut as part of structural battery packs in Model Ys built in Austin and Berlin.

EVs haven't matched mainstream Mazda 3/Corolla's about 800 km range and low drive-away cost.

@adamwaz5615 Prius Gen 3 can reach 900 km. Prius Gen 3's single tank fill can do Sydney to Tweed Heads range.
2
@grantharding8868 That's an unproven argument when Tesla Model 3 long-range variant with about 600 km range has higher mass and lower energy density.

There's an Osbourn effect occurring with EVs since manufacturers revealed their next-generation batteries.

Mr Latham, Is One Nation NSW going to repeat One Nation QLD that preferenced towards ALP and help deliver Annastacia Palaszczuk's majority government?

@australiafirst520 Read "QLD election results: How One Nation propelled Labor to victory".

@australiafirst520 In the recent QLD election, Hanson preferenced both ALP and LNP.

@australiafirst520 Use preferential voting. ALP is an anti-nuclear submarine. Let's not forget ANSTO centrifuge enrichment technology was defunded by Bob Hawke / Paul Keating's Labor government in the mid-1980s. Paul Keating created the weak-toothpick capability

@yggdrasil9039 Ioniq 5 charging to 80% state of charge in 18 minutes has 365 km range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCqcqy29ZCc&t=33s You omitted certain facts with Ioniq 5's 80% state of charge claim.

@robertphillips2983 It's $45,000 to $150,000 iPhone. Tesla wouldn't beat Toyota's ICE reliability.

@yggdrasil9039 That's an unproven claim when LFP (like any current-gen battery tech) shows battery degradation.

@yggdrasil9039 You're wrong with cold temps since Australia's temperature can range from UK-like to Florida-like.

@yggdrasil9039 Australian governments at the federal and state levels are funding both hydrogen and battery charger infrastructure.

@yggdrasil9039 From 13 October 2021, the NSW government is focusing on hydrogen with export earnings are related to it i.e. 1. coal--to-gas-to-hydrogen 2. gas-to-hydrogen Hydrogen generation is cheaper with Methane pyrolysis when compared to Electrolysis. NSW government also announced a target of up to 10% hydrogen in the gas network by 2030.

@MickDavies 80% of 600 km is just 480 km range. LOL. 80% of 500 km is just 400 km range. LOL. ICE vehicle's range doesn't degrade like EVs. I'm not factoring in the towing and cold weather issues. To target an 800 km range target as per mainstream Mazda 3 or Toyota Corolla, there's a need for a higher range to offset the expected battery degradation.

@yggdrasil9039 From Electrek Title: Tesla Battery Degradation after High-Mileage We were able to get data from all Tesla vehicles up until late 2017 and plotted the usable battery pack capacity versus the total energy used since the vehicle was new. The majority of battery degradation towards above 80% state of charge occurred within 80,000 miles (128,747.52 km) and battery degradation slows down beyond 80,000 miles (128,747.52 km). Tesla covers all battery capacity degradation in all its vehicles with a limit of 70% capacity for up to 8 years or 100,000 to 150,000 miles depending on the model.

@MickDavies It's you who is missing the point when battery technology improves over time e.g. Tesla's incoming 4680 battery tech. Tesla rolled out hundreds if not thousands of small improvements today that bring step change improvements to the fundamental building block of Tesla’s business — the battery cell. 14% improvement in cost/kWh coming from the change in cell form factor. 18% improvement in cost/kWh as a result of the 10× manufacturing footprint reduction and 10× manufacturing energy consumption reduction. The new dry manufacturing process enables pressing the active battery powder material directly into a film. The new manufacturing process is based on Maxwell Technologies’ proprietary “proof of concept” process. Process is not at production scale yet, but there is a “clear path” to large scale production. 5% improvement in cost/kWh coming from the increase utilization of silicon in the battery cells. 12% reduction in cost/kWh coming from improvements in the cathode material. 7% improvement in battery pack cost per kWh as a result of Tesla’s new integrated vehicle design. Tesla redesigned its vehicles using new front and rear castings that integrate with the battery pack. To accomplish this, Tesla developed a completely new alloy to enable casting of some of the largest components in the automotive space. These bolt directly into a new “structural battery,” eliminating the need for redundant, parallel elements in Teslas. All told, Tesla’s redesign of the battery, cathode, and vehicle frame translate to an expected improvement of 56% in Tesla’s cost per kWh.

@MickDavies When a Tesla battery fails, it's very expensive to replace which is not the case from mainstream Mazda 3 or Toyota Corolla.
1
@MickDavies >And it's a fraction of the cost. From whichcar AU "According to Tesla the cost of charging a Tesla Model 3 is $7 per 100km compared with $12 for a rival petrol car." Prius G3/Prius G4/Lexus CT200H/Corolla hybrid can be refilled for $40 to $45 for 800 km to 900 km range, hence $5.6 per 100km @ 800 Km range.

@Telcontarnz EV's range is lower with cold weather.
1
@Telcontarnz For Sydney to Noosa trip, I usually stop at Coffs Harbour i.e. 525.0 km distance. Prius Gen2/Gen 3's 900 km range easily covers Sydney to Tweed Heads trip with a full tank of petrol. EV's range is less with cold weather. I have done a non-stop trip between Sydney to Tweed Heads with an 809.6 km distance multiple times. My extended family lives in QLD.

@chrisbraid2907 >nuclear energy powered cars? WTF? LOL A nuclear-powered car doesn't need a refill for 15 to 30 years and its range is nearly unlimited. Hint: the nuclear-powered submarine argument. LOL The major problem with Tesla Model 3 is the drive-away price since it's NOT in Mazda 3's and Toyota Collora's mainstream price range. Tesla Model 3 with a liftback design like Prius G3/G4 would be ideal for me (e.g. I can use it for Bunnings DIY cargo), hence I'm looking at Model Y, but Tesla's new battery 4680 is coming, hence the Osborne effect. I dislike Tesla Model 3's sedan design. I have sent a message to Elon for liftback design Model 3. Mazda 3 liftback design with Telsa Model 3's drive train, 815 km range, and 15-20 minute quick charging to 80% state of charge.

@chrisbraid2907 FYI, Hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars are also EVs. There are advances with Hydrogen storage that reduces the requirement for pressure storage.

@elduderino7767 A home battery like a single Tesla Power wall II's 13.5 kWh battery is NOT enough for Tesla Model 3's 50 to 75 kWh battery.

@elduderino7767 My electrical power is offset by 4.5 KW solar panels and driving two hybrid vehicles. I have owned hybrid vehicles since 2004 and I have never driven a V8/10/V12 powered car.
