The Electric Vehicle (EV) thread Vol 18 - Xileno

In this thread you may:

Ask any question for EVs which you need help, advice, suggestions or discuss relevant issues.

Discuss articles that have been hosted elsewhere (this may be reviewed after a while to see how it's working)

NB Some EV subjects may be more appropriate to continue in a separate thread. An example might be if someone is looking to buy a new car and giving an account of test-driving several ICE and EV vehicles. Another example might be if someone is giving an update on the EV they have bought and wants to feedback their experiences to others. Moderators will use their discretion in situations like these.

Rules:
No or minimal politics
No arguments or slanging matches
Nothing which we think is not following the spirit of the thread
Nothing that risks the future of this site (please see forum terms and conditions)

Any of the above are likely to be deleted. If the thread becomes difficult to maintain it will be removed.

When a thread gets to a certain size it will be made read-only and a new Volume created.

This is Volume 18. Previous Volumes will not be deleted but will get locked.

A list of previous Volumes can be found HERE



PLEASE NOTE:

When posting a NEW issue for discussion, please "Reply to" the first message in this thread, i.e. this one. This keeps each question in its own separate segment and stops each new question from getting mixed up in amongst existing questions. Also please remember to change the subject header.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) thread Vol 18 - mcb100
Bad news for anyone waiting for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to hit our streets in the near future.

Stellantis has decided to cancel its HFC development programme, citing high costs and negligible fuelling infrastructure.

The same lack of infrastructure that has caused BMW to announce that they won’t be bringing their HFC car to the UK when it launches in 2028.

Renault’s joint venture into HFC vans went into liquidation earlier this year due to, again, crippling development costs and lack of infrastructure.
