this is a car produced by AMG to say that they are "eco" aswell. alomst every big time car manufactur makes a electric car that is said to be "eco". it "eco" because it runs on electricity? how is 99.9% of our electricity produced? by burning fossul fuels, which is a bad thing. this is a car froma a company that is trying to say theyre "eco" aswell.

Actually we currently only produce about 72% from fossil fuels. Same in most other developed countries or less.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. Battery powered electric cars are dead technology.

The technology is with us TODAY to allow you to drive your hulking great V8 on nothing but WATER.

Yes, but it's not cost effective to produce.

Or energy efficient it takes 35x more energy to make hydrogen than you get out.

Where does that energy come from?

thats why ALL power stations need to be replaced with nuclear until we get cold fusion sorted out!

Cold fusion is a fallacy, hot fusion on the other hand may be possible, but the tokamak that they have in surrey and its replacement ITER in southern france just suck more and more money.

There are many other possibilities.

He's not talking about pumped hydrogen. He's talking about the water fuel cell which is very interesting but needs to be miniaturized somehow and made cheaper.

Ah brown gas.

It appears to be perpetual motion rubbish, but there are reports that something is different about the electrolysis, i.e. it shouldn't work at all, even though from certain perspectives it does.

What reports? Whatever happens with the electrolysis, you never get back more than what you put in, as per the laws of thermodynamics.

Something about electrolysis with pure distilled water, which shouldn't work by all logic.
