Make of that what you will . Interesting Dave . :thumbs: I cut my teeth on Plant’e and Faure cells (and have dealt with a lot of others in-between times) :rolleyes: and the only thing I am absolutely sure of is they will all give you trouble at the most inappropriate time . And of course the more technical they are, the less robust . I could wear Hybrid Cars, as a mate had a Mitsubishi Hybrid that was excellent, until the battery failed and the cost of a new battery exceeded the value of the car . In the meantime, I’ll stick with Nickel – Iron, only because if they worked 120yrs ago, with a few refinements they will bury the rest of them . :) |

| 1478553 | 2021-07-12 19:29:00 | I see Genisis electricity have just launched an Etruck in Christchurch with a 7.5T load rating and range of 100-150Km. However despite James Shaw being at the launch yet again no mention of the carbon and rare minerals in its making, we could supposedly get carbon neutral here only because we don't make the vehicles here so are just shifting the carbon used to somewhere else. |

And we will probably be using Indonesian coal to generate the electricity to sharge it up anyway. |
