If CNG were to be eventually used in hybrids, the advantage of the electric generation/EV option shrinks. Because the use of natural gas for transportation requires compressing, liquefying, or conversion, it is important to determine the best use of natural gas as a transportation fuel.

In the future we’ll need to replace this dirty hydrogen with green hydrogen, produced by electrolysis using renewable electricity.

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. Pulverized coal is often used as the flame fuel, and fuel is also added to heat and drive the calciner and preheaters.

Little seems developed in any wide commercial sense and certainly not to the extent of the pure electric car. First, hydrogen is not as readily attained and certainly not as available as ubiquitous electricity.

If you ask a bunch of experts to predict the cost of a technology 10 years from now, they’re all over the map—9 out of 10 are wrong, and you don’t know which one is right. You need a bigger grid to supply that electricity. A year ago, we weren’t even having this conversation.

And by that do you mean they were fronting the costs of the rebates and then not recouping them from the utilities? I’ve been amazed that most companies seem to front the cost, even start ups.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. EVs have finally come of age.
