Another alternative synthetic fuel.. will it take off and replace petrol and diesel in future? If yes, it's a good news as for electric cars many people may find it a Chor to wait for more then 1hr just to charge up full and finding charging point available might also be a problem in future. Plus electric car might have lack of the enjoyment of the internal combustion engine reving sound, the feel, the turbo charge and etc.. so yeah..

 

 

hahah....who knows what will come in the next 5 years....if there is a new option, then G will do an about turn? hahahahha….and lots of pple ...

You need to understand why Porsche look into synthetic fuel.

Can you afford it? Especially since you drive PHV.

That is current.. what if when there are more and more car uses it and many companies start to invest and invent way to make it cheaper? More drivers use it and bring the cost down? Possible?

 

Like when hp was invented, it was bulky and expensive and not many people could afford it, but look at cost of hp now and practically everyone has hp. So I feel when look at things, cannot just look at current, but should look at what potential this thing has , the cost itself will then depends on free market already.

 

Expensive now does not mean it will be expensive in say year 2040. So perhaps you should not straightaway pour cold water because of it is expensive fuel right now or have the thinking ai ya, so expensive.. so will not work one la.

Rather than speaking your mind, spent some time to read the article on why Porsche has this synthetic fuel.

From what you wrote, you have no understanding of the intention behind synthetic fuel.

Okay , the intention I may not understand. But then sometimes it's the intention that is actually for something else but then others see it as something that is very viable and then go into it and then boom.. 

 

So as the thing saying keep an open mind.. not just shut down too quickly..

No point looking at it unless EU/USA/China/Japan going to adopt it.

We are a small market that can't dictate global direction.

Yup.. just as saying.. we just look at free market direction on where it is heading lor.. but then always never have a close mind and shut things down so fast lor.. from now to 2040 anything could happen.

How to keep an open mind when the infrastructure of the future has been set up?

China is big on electric cars.

Chinese £3,200 budget electric car takes on Tesla

 

 

i'm just wondering, they jump in big on EV, but they don't seem to be very safe in an accident., like no NCAP ratings or similar for regular cars.

Will death tolls turns on them later on ?

Typical case of post just for the sake of posting. Clear display of one insecurities in himself to gain recognition in a www.

Relax. Everyone has a diff outlook views on elect cars.

Someone pointed out handphone as an example. 

Kinda correct in this sense. Tbh we need to keep an open mind and view of upcoming innovations n changes.

Going electric is definately the norm liao.

All govt in the world going that direction.

Tiny sg also ll need to go that.

I am sure in yrs down the road prices of ev cars will be cheaper n cheaper.

Only question will it be cheap in sg nia. Hee.

Based on EMA report, Q1 2021, we have 12,582 MW generation capacity. The daily peak hardly hit 7,000MW. Plenty of spares.

10M here we come!

There you see.. anything can happen. When a person mind so fast switch off, then confirmed nothing going to happen or change for better. But if one keep an open mind who knows..

The above statement is really a clear example of coming from one with a head without brains but just filled with grass

They do.

Moreover their cars are sold in Australia, which has decent safety standards. (E.g. MG ZS, MG HS)

If they dont they will be screwed.

Its not 2010, but 2021 now. There is a major leap in safety and quality of Chinese cars.

How about those car model that is not export?

Not forgetting that the car shown above is likely for domestic market ONLY.

For the Wuling, safety should be dismal for it has no airbags.

However, we need to wait for people to crash them in real life first to see how it is in real life.

By the way, that Wuling has a max speed of 100km /h, and is very uncomfortable to drive at the higher end of its speed limit, so it would unlikely burst into flames, but the person might be crippled or even dead due to speed.

Most established Chinese companies do want to export their cars, and those who cannot or are domestics are failing companies which do not enter the radar of most Chinese, and are very unpopular.
