Imagine being able to build/clone a manufacturing site in each country of your customers. Cheaper & quicker shipping, no tariffs, maybe even local tax breaks.
Cool, now how long would it take to charge each? For your hypothetical 30% to 90%? And a side question, would doing just that charge regularly lower the battery life?
So, take the the typical nightly charge the electric car scenario. Say 30% to 100%. I haven't looked into what that requires electrically, which is why I'm asking a general question.
Also, how big are flywheels? ie can they fit in my garage, along with the 2 cars & storage boxes & kids crap, realistically?
If hackers can break into one database & get your name, number, SSN, password, credit card, etc, I don't think they'll have much trouble breaking into two.
If the companies even separate they authentication hashes on the back end.
So, some maybe future, hydrogen might be possibly safer.
Hydrogen requires cold and/or pressure vessels and delivery mechanisms. All which will need replacing regularly as they become brittle. Also, hydrogen is much more explosive than gas, so will require extra vapor controls. But gas is more expensive? Right.
Upfront, hydrogen won't make it because the infrastructure for electricity is already there.
And then let's not ignore the 40-50% loss in extracting & using hydrogen.
the fact that it can use a distribution network similar to what we use now trumps a lot of those disadvantages.
for very, very expensive versions of similar.
A holding tank (underground or on a truck) for gas/oil/water can just be welded sheet metal with a hole at the top. A holding tank (underground or on a truck) requires at LEAST insulation, very cold temps, cold generation, very high pressures. So, roughly 5x more expensive. Until someone blows up & legislation comes in and doubles that cost again.

Is that what you call insight?
Robots aren't customers? Really?
That no matter what they do, Microsoft will try to screw them?
reduce shipping & import tariff costs.

Why would you NOT do this?
It's only going to install itself if you don't stop it.
That's exactly what I mean by 'keep clicking on the deny button'.
Keep clicking on that 'deny' button microsoft gave you then.
Then that's your choice.
Microsoft provides one option, with certain costs & limitations.
Apple provides a different option, with different costs & limitations.
Pay your money, make your choice.
Don't like either? Go with linux & its OTHER limitations.
I'm going to upgrade your car next week. Nothing you can do about it.
It'll look shinier, but I pulled a few cables, and put your old engine & tires in it.
Hopefully, I didn't pull too many cables.
It's just good for you, and free.
Don't whine if it doesn't work as well as your old car, you were stubbornly refusing to upgrade.
Per Microsoft, Win7 isn't outdated until 2020.

Your 2 cents aren't worth the copper they're made from.
Microsoft security support for Win7/8 for the next decade or so?
Yep. Every pro hydrogen person says 'converting will be easy' as if already having the infrastructure is not easy.

Yes, as if your future & betting on Toyota is reality.
Except that Apple's sales flattened over years, from >150% to 75% to 25% to flat, over about 6 years. Xiaomi's went from 150% to 0% in 1 year.
But yeah, it's the same thing as your explanation of what happened. Which was China is saturated....riiiiight.

Let me know when liquid hydrogen has a lower energy density gaseous.
Until then, there's a LOT of can/could/proposed in that article.
Or go visit an old friend you haven't seen in years.
Or injure your legs.

Just like all gas stations then?
If they're not clean enough, the problem station is eliminated?
The real world says it'll go boom. A lot.
Yet we already have wires running everywhere. And have for decades.
And hydrogen infrastructure, local production or remote production, requires a lot more investment & maintenance than gas or electric do.
You think there are two types of corn, one for cows, and another for humans?
You've clearly never been on a farm.
Maybe you could eat silage in the winter too.
Well, it would solve the rising oceans issue...
How much can a flywheel currently hold? ie can it charge a car in 1 hr (with heavier cables of course)
Don't forget the much higher ongoing costs of maintaining very cold temps, very high pressures & much higher maintenance (brittling) costs.
Your soda is now $4.50 instead of $2
