What you think? Hydrogen? Periodic table no1. But processing costs to green need stupid money. Correct me if im wrong. I’m here to learn. Why not use the money appropriately on electric car first rather to spend stupid on money electricity to make clean hydrogen which the electricity can go directly to car. Why converting it to something else just to tackle on charging time issues. People need cheap and direct energy but not something need conversion thus coal always the first choice even in developed nation in australia, usa and china. Do you think this hydrogen thingy is a sus???!!!
There must be a reason why Toyota choose Miraii, the sibling of Crown, to build the Hydrogen FCEV - (1)because it can store 3-large tanks in-exchange for Range; (2)general lifespan for FCEV is between 5-8yrs can be a pain for "ordinary" owners
@@taichooyee Hate Toyota for FOOLING us drivers with their Foolcelleries, Toyota will be screwed and finished by the Chinese BEV automakers by year 2030, Mark my words , I used to be a Toyota lover by the way.
@@AuralioCabal-nl8gi Don't trap yourself in your stubbornness. Toyota is offering tech options. Think out of the box. Don't get pulled away by one side. BEV is not the best solution.
Since Sarawak is leading in this field, why can't the federal government support them financially for bigger scale production in Bintulu...peninsula cannot be the taiko forever...
YB has answered your question. This is all about supply and demand. For example, with electric vehicles (EVs), some people say there are too few EV charging stations in Malaysia. However, after the government started promoting EVs, many car manufacturers and third-party companies began building charging stations across the country. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) tell a different story. Unlike EVs, there aren’t many car manufacturers planning to develop FCEVs. Toyota, for instance, is a frontrunner in FCEV manufacturing, but they only have one FCEV model. Now, let’s imagine a scenario: If the government pushes for fuel cell stations, but the market lacks users or demand, it would definitely result in financial losses and inefficiency.
@@alexkehalexis well I clearly understand what yb trying to say..what I want to emphasis is instead of doing the RnD at different location..why don't just focus in Sarawak..I believe concentrating in doing the RnD in Sarawak will enhance the overall efficiency..anyway Sarawak government is expecting to export the hydrogen to Japan and Korea by 2027, 2028..So guess by that time, demand is also projected to be increased...
I’m taxpayer and i disagreed on green hydrogen. It should always be private until result seen then government subsidy to push green efforts. Don’t give any money to anyone for result not even present to us yet
gov can start with bus and train, like german, than u got certain demand so station can be build. also gov fleet, than certain demand can slowly push for like lorry, than going into passenger car. damn we really need change the gasoline bus la. it create alot smoke and so heat near by the bus
The challenge with hydrogen is who is going to build the hydrogen stations around the country for the car to be viable. The idea of fuel cell technology has been around for at least the past 40 years. Since there is hardly any progress on fuel cell technology, it is telling how a technology can be invented but the commercial issues are not easy to overcome. We have not seen hydrogen powered vehicles in any country on a commercial scale so I doubt anyone would want to build hydrogen stations the way electric charging stations are built. Electric charging stations are easier since electric power is available all around this country. But, for hydrogen, how many hydrogen generating plants are there and how will hydrogen be transported around the country to be distributed to hydrogen stations in order for people to adopt the fuel cell technology. Also, the hydrogen tanks inside the car are bulky, not to mention highly explosive. I believe there are 2 hydrogen tanks inside the Mirai. I think the challenges are substantial.
1 million usd per filling station, plus additional electricity cost for refrigeration as hydrogen need to be stored cool, malaysia hot weather it will not be reality
I did my research in Green hydrogen production before, it definitely is a promising energy source. However, the problem is it is very energy intensive to produce large amount of H2 gas compared with conventional crude/ coal fuel --> electricity conversion. You will use much more energy to produce H2 fuel compared to energy used to charge a battery cell. In layman term, more energy required = more $$ = more expensive H2 fuel.
yeah. and if i heard correctly, yb is saying swak can produce green hydrogen because it has & uses hydroelectricity. If that's the definition of green, then TNB's electricity in peninsular is NOT green... and that begs a question - does promoting EVs in peninsular mean we will go green??? Are there any EV charging stations that deliver green electricity??? eg charging stations that are hooked up to solar, wind or hydro generators???
In Sarawak, what type of Hydrogen is available at the limited refuel stations? Is it Blue only, or a mixed of Green, Blue and Grey? What is the selling price of these hydrogens now? Are they at market price or heavily subsidised too? What is the power of this Mirai?
Question is have how many car manufacturers build this hydrogen energy cars. If only 1 company, then it the one monopolize the market. Example, like thehybrid car technology. Hope the hydrogen technology can be open source for all.
Fuel cell price is still expensive. For hydrogen gas distribution, need truck for distribution, compare to full electric, electricity got wide coverage, without expensive distribution by truck.
The car looks good and viable to run. But calculating the course, take average cost per km, is higher than Petrol Car. Assume use 5kg ( in view of not possible to refill only when run empty ), so each time refill 5kg. Consider other usage and the car can only run 800km per refill attempt ( refill 5kg ). 1kg of Green Hydrogen is USD10, which means per refill is USD50. Like this per km running is RM0.30, take 1USD = RM4.80 exchange rate. Sounds quite costly to run.
Apparently many months before, I forgot which country from Europe, found a hydrogen reserve that could last for 500 years. Basically known as ‘white’ hydrogen, some oil and gas company is working on how to harvest it. Target around 2026… when the time comes? The price of hydrogen willdrop significantly. Frankly, what I felt is .. hydrogen is a true green and sustainable car compared to electric car..
Hydrogen = the most inefficient fuel you can find , or NOT FIND FCVs are for FOOLS! FOOLCELLS as Elon Musk says, meanwhile there is a PLUG in every house.Hydrogen will be UN- Obtanium for decades!😂
".... The Mirai was unveiled at the November 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.As of November 2022, global sales totaled 21,475 units; the top-selling markets were the U.S. with 11,368 units, Japan with 7,435 and the rest of the world with 2,622 ...." QUOTE from Wiki ☝️. Also ".... Current best processes for water electrolysis have an effective electrical efficiency of 70-80%, so that producing 1 kg of hydrogen requires 50-55 kWh of electricity..." So, that explains why Hydrogen car still has not been widely accepted...
While it's true that our petrol and electricity prices may be lower than those in Europe, it's important to consider that our salary and income levels are also lower. This makes direct comparisons unfair without accounting for these economic differences.
The main hurdle in making EV more mainstream is the difficulty of installing charging points in condo/apartment. Many condo managements are reluctant to cooperate with owners who want to set up charging points due to the additional effort it requires. This is preventing me from owning an EV, as my condo management refuses to help with installation. I urge YB to address this issue promptly.
