H2 leaks thru metal, so isn’t great to store, or transport thru pipelines to where it’s needed

I don’t get the boner for nuke plants. But they are on they way out. Sticking to a thing when it’s not going to happen doesn’t help.

On a semi-related notes, the PSA EV platform is pretty great for small-mid size city cars (and delivery vans that aren’t expected to go long distances), hopefully they’ll bring some cars to the US based on it.

Subaru is linked up with Toyota for hybrids currently, I believe. A full-on EV is not out of the question, given Toyota owns 20% of Subaru and is thus vested in their success.

Most automakes are already buddied up to meet emissions or on the cusp of meeting the regulations moving forward. 2020 EU emissions pools:

Seriously. I read this somewhere last week and people returning to ICE were apartment dwellers, which is the majority of Californians, which is sort-of mentioned here.

What I’m baffled by though is the people that ditch PHEV.  It’s a hybrid that can operate in EV only mode for a short range, so where’s the problem?  You still have a gas engine and can take it on road trips.

Agree. Incentive followers and/or those who didn’t full understand the limitations (or extra expense/work of getting chargers at their house). Or they were in an area that just under-delivered on a charging network.

It’s a bummer this will now become a talking point impeding progress of “lots of people tried it and…

First of all, Jalopnik is like 3 days late to this. Ive seen this posted everywhere.

Get rid of military spending to protect oil interests and other subsidies to fossil fuel companies first.

The UAW would not be doing its job if it didn’t advocate for this.

No they definitely know how it works. They just dont want to admit it. 

Yup no one expects the CEOs to think of the whole economy or even the environment. They are hailed as heroes for maximizing shareholder value, decried as poseurs or worse if they try to prioritize anything else.

I disagree eliminating the credit system would “help the environment”, all that would replace it is a fine system (as previously existed) and that does nothing to help promote alternative vehicles, as the revenue from fines would typically go into the general fund and disappear to other usages. There is no political…

$7000 or $7500 out of a $40,000 car is a nice chunk of change. Even for the more expensive ones it’s a nice chunk of change. Without it, an EV may be far less appealing or affordable. Is the tax credit going to be the sole reason to buy an EV? Probably not, but it’s a fairly important consideration, especially for…

It’s protectionist bullshit. Either we need to offer incentives for more environmentally-friendly cars, or not.

Ugliest car on Craiglist?

They must have banned anything from 2010 to present from that site.

First off: It’s a suspension lift, roof rack, and inverter. It’s a light camping package. Calm down.
