Cypress Sun Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 3 hours ago, Still hand Bill said: Exactly. Any car built within the last 30 years is computer controlled and would not run. You would have to go back to 50+ year old cars with carburetors and points to find one that could survive an emp/solar flare. Cuba would be in the export business again with cigars and cars. Blackwater will be able to name his price on repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 A hydrogen fuel cell system or even ICEs powered by hydrogen would be nominal. You burn hydrogen and it produces oxygen and water. Breeder reactors produce hydrogen! Figure it out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small diesel motor genset head and battery bank. One idea I had, which I admit would be really tough, was having a gas/electric hybrid, but no EV battery. Basically, if there was a safe way to connect to the grid in urban areas, and drive with an electric motor, then have it automatically switch to gas/diesel engine when it leaves the area. You get the cleaner emissions in urban areas. You are not hauling the weight of batteries. You don't have recycling issues of batteries. You don't have battery degradation issues. You still get the range of an ICE car. If only we could safely and reliably connect to a grid in urban areas. Or alternatively have really really good public transportation in urban and suburban areas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
