Featured Has anyone heard of the Hyundai Nexo?

I think it was outselling the Mirai globally at one time.
Don't know its current status.

 

The more relevant factoid might be - is there anything not outselling the Mirai?

.

 

If I was out surfing big waves I sure wouldn't want to run into a car, maybe a whale or a dolphin, but definitely not a car.

 

Then there's this;

Why Hydrogen Fuel Costs $36/kg in 2025 | The Real Cost of Driving FCEV

Then there's the issue of pressurized fuel. Not necessarily opposed - as once upon a time I'd converted an Econoline to run propane (back when it was <39¢/gallon & regular was $1.20). But propane is ~145 PSI. But 10,000 PSI hydrogen?
(cringe factor)

A while back I posted a picture of a propane fireplace repair truck that was a Rav4 with propane adaptation. Easy to do when you havew a big tank where you park overnight. And are visiting locally. Not sure where they put the tank or if it had a gas tank too. Would that make it a tribred?

 

I see gas tanks for sale at gas stations but they are taken off site to be filled and cleaned. I see very very few if any stations that could fill.

At the same time, my little town has at least 4 propane suppliers. Most of the home tanks are rented and can, by state law, only be filled by the company that owns them. I own mine and can go where prices are lowest.

Today I went by a Tesla charging station 100 yards off an interstate with 10 kiosks, is that 10 or 20 stalls. All were empty at 3PM on a nice day.

 

That would be a dual- or bi- fuel.

 

Superchargers have a variable cost rate ranging from a low of $0.28/kWh up. To avoid traffic, I typically leave after 10 PM and often find only one or no other EVs there.

It is common to find pairs of SuperCharger stations on opposite sides of commuting routes. Depending upon rush hour bias, one side will be fully subscribed versus the other partially occupied.

Unlike gas stations, there are no attendants or periodic gas trucks. So I stop somewhere approaching the charger for a biology break before charging.

I’ve also been the only EV driver at Charge Point or Electrify America stations. The density is high enough I don’t worry about most cross country trips so some should occasionally be empty.
