One of the challenges of constructing a global hydrogen economy is hydrogen transportation by sea. A new approach developed by researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria and international colleagues proposes using solid air (nitrogen or oxygen) as a medium for recycling cooling energy across the hydrogen liquefaction supply chain.

It was June 1973. For the past three months, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn had been working together on a problem Kahn had been pondering for some time: how to connect ground-based military computers seamlessly to communications satellites and mobile radios. The ARPANET and the way it handled communications was already well established. But extending it to handle multiple networks—whose reliability couldn’t be taken for granted—was a different story.

Charging medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs) is more expensive than charging light-duty EVs due to several factors. First, medium- and heavy-duty EVs have larger battery sizes, which require more energy (measured in kilowatt-hours) to charge fully, resulting in higher electricity consumption and costs.

For all the NT1.0 and NT2.0, from 5 to 6 to 7 to 8, huge amount of resources/capital/time were spent by NIO, but the return is pathetic if you want to measure the production volume. The most dangerous thing is that the TOP Executives at NIO don't seem to be bothered by their own mistakes.

Remember: it climbed to a high of almost $62! To feel a bit better imagine the millions of buyers that went in at 30.40.50. $60+/share - then holding 'til today's price! Even those who bought in that early lag period between Mar. /19 to June /20 have little positive to show for a 3-4 year investment of their money.
