    Where in Canada are the Nikola Tre HFC semis? They must be here in Greater Vancouver. Ballard Industries in Burnaby were designing Hydrogen Fuel Cells back in the mid 1990's. Some of those engineers must have trickled down to Nikola.
    Powertech in Surrey had/has hydrogen fueling station on their property. It was documented on Discovery Channel. A church member drives a Toyota Murai here in Vancouver. I believe he said there are 6 locations to refuel.
    I am taking an educated guess they are here. I am so excited! I may go searching on Anacsis Island for them!

    Is the fuel nozzle and refill process standardized to the same configuration as the fuel cell cars... such as Toyota Mirai or Hyundai Nexo? Nikola is working on implementing additional hydrogen refilling stations and I would sure hope they would allow all fuel cell vehicles to fuel there.

      I hope the new Nikola refueling stations will allow the public to refuel there. Maybe Nikola should team up with this guy to make a higher capacity version of this:

      They have until either June/July but they can also appeal. The delist will not just happen overnight I don’t think it will be an issue as they have a lot coming down the pipeline and if it is they will just split like @PBA21 me tioned. 2/22 will be a big day for them once they release financials and more info hopefully.

  • @johnnyhun1

    the reason why cabovers sux is if you have to do something with the engine you have to tilt the whole cab so all the stuff inside will fall forward, or the stuff inside the lockers will also fall, and if you have some stuff in the upper bed where most of the drivers store the heavy stuffs you have to pack it out ... pain in the arse, I hate them but in Europe you can't have the long-nose ones...

  • @BigBen621
    @BigBen621 5 месяцев назад +1

    What no one mentions is the stratospheric cost of operating HFCVs. Real world example: the Toyota Mirai carries 5.65 KG of H2, and gets an EPA range of 357 miles. A KG of H2 in San Diego, where I live, is currently about $36, having recently increased from about $13 (!). So the per-mile cost of H2 for the Toyota Mirai is 5.65 x 36 / 357 = 57¢. Meanwhile, my Tesla Model Y has a 75 kWh battery, and has an EPA range of about 320 miles. At the San Diego Gas & Electric EV charging rate of about 15¢/kWh, the per-mile cost of electricity for my Model Y is 75 x .15 / 320 = 3.5¢; so the Mirai costs literally *>16 times as much per mile* in operating cost. There's no reason similar ratios won't apply to Class 8 trucks. If any of my numbers or calculations is wrong, please point it out.

    • @jb5music
      @jb5music 5 месяцев назад

      Make it yourself at home for free with renewables/solar panels. So what if it takes more off grid electricity to make the same range. It transfers to the vehicle instantly. An invention you can't seem to understand or grasp the reason for .
