But, but, but…. You could refuel a Hydrogen-powered phone in less than 2 minutes! That is impossible with a battery operated phone! We *neeeeeeed* Hydrogen powered phones and a convenient Hydrogen refueling infrastructure for all those people who depend on their phones! They cannot possibly be expected to wait up to 45 minutes to fast-charge their phone, that solution from Samsung and others is totally inadequate and cannot possibly become mainstream….. Oh wait… /s Cor.

I've seen the same situation with my wife and our Leaf. At first, she worried about the range. Now it no longer matters. (And this is with an EV that only has 100 miles range at best.) People are always the most afraid of the unknown. "What if something goes wrong? ..." But once the fears prove unfounded, and the unknown becomes the known, the fear vanishes. EVs become "normal", and become the preferred solution because they are "better" than ICEs for most people's driving. Imagine this scenario: Suppose the first cellphones were powered by hydrogen fuel cells. A "tank" of fuel lasts for a week, but you have to go to a special store to "refuel" it for $10 or so. If there was no alternative, people would adapt to it. They would learn to accept the high cost of operation, and risk of explosions and fires if the H2 fuel tank leaks or fails. Then someone comes out with a battery-powered phone. It has to be charged every night; but it can be done at home for less than a penny. People would initially complain. "What if I run out of charge in the middle of a movie? What if I miss an important call? What if it goes dead in an emergency when I need to call for help? People would initially be afraid to change, for fear of the unknown. Yet, we all have battery-powered phones. People have adapted to their strengths and limitations. Now they would see anything different as "bad, scary, and inferior". No one is trying to market a fuel-powered phone. -- Ten Universal Truths for this holiday season: 1. Show respect for others. Each person has a special gift. 2. Share what you have. Giving makes you richer. 3. Know who you are. You are a reflection of your family. 4. Accept what life brings. There are many things you cannot control. 5. Have patience. Some things cannot be rushed. 6. Live carefully. What you do will come back to you. 7. Take care of others. You cannot live without them. 8. Honor your elders. They show you the way in life. 9. Pray for guidance. Many things are not known. 10. See connections. All things are related. -- Lee Hart, 814 8th Ave N, Sartell MN 56377, www.sunrise-ev.com _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
