How long will these EVs go for?

Interesting drive till it stops comparison. I won't give away the results.

This may extend range a bit

Yes, real world gives different results to standardised testing.

Check out 4:50 ish. I want this for me in my Disco [biggrin]. A 600 mile range 300 via battery and 300 by hydrogen fuel cell and a nifty 8kg of hydrogen. 965 odd km

Now we just need hydrogen at the servos and we’ll be right. Even at current prices works out to about $1 per litre ($16 per Kg)

Can’t see why this couldn’t be done - remember when LPG was first introduced for vehicles - only place to buy it near us was 3 towns over, everyone said it wouldn’t catch on... 😉

Looked for a few pages to find a PLANE thread. Micks fits it in this case[thumbsupbig]

"The nine-seat aircraft has a very attractive appearance. Its aesthetic design, however, is purely on purpose seeking to optimize its flight characteristics. It is no longer the typical tube with wings and a tail attached, but it rather looks like a lean whale with a sharply cut nose, flattening out towards the bottom, and a fuselage that is tapering at the rear.
The shape of the airframe itself creates extra lift to help get the immense weight of the batteries off the ground. At the T-shaped tail, two Magni650 electric motors (https://www.dw.com/en/first-commercial-electric-plane-flight-opens-new-era-in-aviation/a-51616245) are installed, delivering 644 kilowatts (KW) each, supposedly enabling a cruise speed of 407 kilometers per hour (252 mph).

Heavy loads and filling order books The biggest problem of electric flying continues to hamper Alice: The batteries are much too bulky and too heavy, and don't deliver enough energy for efficient and prolonged traveling (https://www.dw.com/en/how-soon-till-we-all-fly-in-electric-planes/a-43473916).
After its successful first flight — a voyage of not more than eight minutes — the company drastically lowered Alice's expected travel range from 815 kilometers to 445 kilometers. This means that the electric aircraft can only be deployed on niche markets,"



Story is better than the MG like range reduction from ZeroAvia. ( I like them not rubbishing them at all)

"German passenger airline in the order book, Evia Aero — a startup and "sustainable regional airline" from Bremen — which signed a letter of intent to buy 25 planes. At the end of 2022, Eviation's first major passenger airline customer, Air New Zealand, signed options for 23 electric aircraft. All-electric aircraft propulsion is also a focus of the aviation research cluster in Munich, where, for example, aerospace giant Airbus (https://www.dw.com/en/airbus/t-18932094) is trialing a variety of hybrid solutions for air taxis and other planes at its Ottobrunn facility.
Not far from there, Rolls-Royce Electrical is "pioneering sustainable electric aircraft technology to power the urban and regional air mobility markets of tomorrow."
The British aerospace company's test lab lies heavily secured behind thick steel doors, where a prototype of the Rolls-Royce RRP200D is currently being manufactured. The plane engine is hoped to unleash the biggest revolution in propulsion since the invention of the jet engine in 1937.

Evolution in revolutions[thumbsupbig]

it's interesting that none of the vehicles tested can go the claimed range.....

I don't think any internal combustion vehicles meet the claimed MPG figures either.

My wife bought a Renault Captur new in 2015 , claimed consumption is 4.9 - 5.4 / 100km

It get driven very conservatively in ECO mode, country highway driving only, (as all about town is done with my EV Landy) and averages 7.5 l/100km.
