You've posted some good stuff.

Knew electric drive would do well on 1/4 mile bikes and cars for quite awhile, but wondered about the batteries in each approach. Lead-acid was the deal for a century until Ni-Cad and Ni-MH had a short-lived advantage until Li-ion.

I wonder how the EV Li-ion batteries will hot-lap for the masses, and expect a few to flare. Maybe some will flame-up at the big-end and make drag racing an incindiary event.

BTW; Me hydrogen generator blew up n my face a decade ago (only my pride was injured) but i rebuilt it last winter, and may build a 2nd like the first. This go around will attempt to run a 5500 watt gasoline home-generator with the hydrogen cell for idle or higher, then add cells for full boogie. On demand boost not as interesting as emergency power!
