Yeah, in about the middle of the right-hand-side scrolling window. And Paul Scott, too.Excellent!
Here's his site: http://www.llewtube.com/
A ride and chat with Chelsea Sexton is in there somewhere.
In many ways that is the sad part. He is not a journalist per se, he is an actor. AFAIK noone is paying him for doing this and thus being a journalist.Looking forward to more episodes...he does a great job and we really need more journalists that "get it" when it comes to EVs and hybrids.
Watched it too, enjoyable episode. My evaluation is that he came to the right conclusion, but for the wrong reasons...or at least for only one of the reasons. He seemed to dismiss the energy cost of FCVs a bit lightly with only a small comment then discussing other sources of hydrogen as by-products. IMO large scale FCVs will be impractical for a very long time b/c of the tremendous amount of energy it takes to produce the hydrogen. And yea, that $2 Million dollar/car thing could be a tiny deterent for working families.Episode 2 of Robert Llewellyn's Fully Charged.
Now taking a ride in the Honda FCX Clarity: Very informative and very clear on why hydrogen powered cars aren't there yet.

He should have said how long it took to fill up. Also notice that he finishes fill prematurely.
I presume the last part of the tank takes longer and longer to fill (i.e. tails off asymptotically) as the pressure increases?
This is ancient (well, 18 months old). If you read the comments he's kind of backpedaling.
No actual owner (not counting Tesla's internal VPs/EPs) is anywhere near 100k miles. May be 30k by now. Also keep in mind the battery degradation is GRADUAL and not a sudden "limit". At 100k miles you still have a decent battery, just less range. How much range ? That depends on how you have treated the battery (and Tesla has taken as much as possible out of that "babying your battery" hassle as possible with their "Standard Mode" settings and behaviour). So when we talk about "life" we need to also specify the parameter by which "death" is measured. To some EV drivers the range (which is HUGE from the start) could continue to decline well into 200k miles on the odometer before they consider the battery unusable ("dead"), and needing replacement.But do we have some "real" experiences / datas ?
any roadster close to the 100.000 miles "limit" ?
