“Based on FIAT’s website, official 500e specs (and possibly range info) are scheduled to be announced next week on December 4th.”

So basically no news… waiting for repost when there is actually information to share that is actually news worthy.

You know… The 2000 ranger comes as an EV.

It was pretty unpopular because it too was over 2x the price of a standard ranger.

This explains why Germany pays more after switching and why their grid isn’t even close to as clean or cheap as France. /s

Liquid Hydrogen:

2.6 kWh/L Volumetric Energy Density

39 kWh/kg Gravimetric Energy Density

​

Lithium Ion:

0.693 kWh/L Volumetric Energy Density

0.340 kWh/kg Gravimetric Energy Density

​

Conclusion:

Liquid Hydrogen is 3.75x more energy dense by volume.

Liquid Hydrogen is 114.7x more energy dense by weight.

Gravimetric energy density cannot be understated, weight is immensely important for aircraft. Planes can easily be grown to increase fuel storage as long as weight is kept low (hence why blimps are a thing). Weight is directed related to buoyancy.

The only real barrier is cost of fuel. Airbus as well as other manufactures are working on Hydrogen planes with electric motors, so yes Hydrogen planes are still electric.
