Electricity is everywhere already. The hydrogen network is nowhere. Hydrogen isn't going to happen for passenger vehicles, so dive in now!

IKEA will figure it out, just as everyone who goes down this pathway does. It's remarkable that people keep making the mistake when it's so obviously a mistake with tiny amounts of number crunching and the slightest awareness of battery energy density improvements.

Finally some balance and healthy dose of reality: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/23/uk-ireland-electric-car-electric-vehicle-road-trip?fbclid=IwAR1hbyUGd5LQuWB7LX0IK6rZ3JJlRfcoE0cbR3rHMatpZDyk8jyd5bTyYjA

Despite being an EV convert, fearmongering made me anxious before my holiday. But the summer road trip reaffirmed my faith, says Charlotte Naughton, joint production editor of Guardian Opinion

Are you waiting for hydrogen cars? More complicated and more expensive than a battery EV, the number of hydrogen filling stations in the UK has now dropped to 7 functional stations, with the other two off-line for months. By contrast, at the end of September 2022, there were 34860 electric vehicle charging points across the UK, across 20888 charging locations (source: Zap-Map).

Anyone who is EV curious can call our free advice line any time on 01483 338082 for a chat.

“The Hydrogen filling station at the Shell in Cobham Services off the M25 has been removed due to lack of use. This was one of only 7 in the UK and another site at Beconsfield is apparently being decommissioned. ”

Well done to CBC for giving it a try. One more option to add to the arsenal, which as they say in the post will suit some scenarios.

A new initiative is making the charging of electric vehicles at home safer and easier for residents without off-street parking.

A pilot scheme at 20 locations across Central Bedfordshire is making owning an electric vehicle a more realistic option for residents without a drive or garage.

A specially designed cable channel, called the Gul-e, has enabled 20 residents who need to park their electric vehicles on the street outside their homes to safely connect to their electricity supply. The channel in the pavement means the charging cable between their home and car will not cause a trip or slip hazard for pedestrians.

The cable channel has been installed at locations in Aspley Guise, Biggleswade, Brogborough, Campton, Dunstable, Fairfield, Flitwick, Henlow, Leighton Buzzard and Pulloxhill.

The pilot scheme will run until January 2023. During this time, we’ll gather feedback from participants on their experiences and there has been plenty of positive feedback already.

If the pilot scheme is successful, we hopes to offer this as an option for other residents.

While the Gul-e will not work for everyone it does help overcome the challenges of electric vehicle ownership for households who don’t have their own off-street parking and charger.
