A prolific charging network will allow the majority of us to have smaller batteries. Battery still represents circa 40% of the cost of the car

SUV is a popular form factor, but smaller lighter cars are better from an efficiency point of view. Robert and I will talk about form factors

I’ll also mention yes, the Japanese dropped the ball

Motorway signs have recently become a requirement and we’ll see them applied across the U.K. - I drove Leeds to Nottingham yesterday and saw Gridserve signage

Good idea on communicating the cost savings

Yes it’s coming. Buses were really the first to be electrified and now companies like First Group are putting batteries in the depots. eHGV is just starting to take off and you’ll see dedicated chargers being installed

Please ask nice questions 😍

Wow - if only they had continued with the development perhaps Luton would still be alive

Thank you

Try economics! I’m not being glib, as I started development of the Nissan LEAF EV and the Nissan FCEV (joint venture with Merc and Ford) at the same time.

The last bastion of believe in hydrogen for passenger vehicles was Toyota and even they have conceded it doesn’t make sense; to be honest it never made sense and will never make sense. The question is hydrogens use in other use cases - maybe hot hydrogen in HGV although e-fuel looks more compelling.

I like this

And finally, let’s remember that this is all about climate change and transport represents circa 25% of the problem. If we want to hand down a planet to our kids, we need to reduce our output of Co2
