New Cars will be electric in 15 years...: EETimes - In the midst of the Tesla Model S rollout at the company's California manufacturing plant recently, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a st...
Don't bet against Musk.
The best probability that I can determine is the hydrogen fuel cell car. The LFTR technology will happen, that is very high probability. One of the applications that could result from that is cheap hydrogen, which would create a market opportunity. You can make ammonia with a LFTR, for example.
Another missing link for fuel cells is the platinum issue. Platinum is expensive and it needs to be used as a catalyst in a fuel cell device. Solve that problem, and you are on your way. Those who would mine asteroids could bring to the market a lot more platinum, which would reduce prices. In fifteen years though? Not out of the question.
As far as distribution of hydrogen is concerned, that should not be a problem. You can electrolyze methanol or ammonia at the point of sale. Just transport the hydrogen carrier to the point of sale and electrolyze it there.
