　　Tesla Musk: Fuel cell technology is impractical

　　According to foreign automotive media AutoblogGreen, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has always been a person who is not afraid to express his opinions directly. Even when participating in events organized by the New York Times, he spoke freely and went his own way. Yesterday, Musk visited Germany to build momentum for Tesla’s sales promotion in Germany. During the event, he did not shy away from calling fuel cell technology impractical and outrageous.

　　When asked about issues related to the competitiveness of electric vehicles and the sustainable development of modern transportation, Musk said that the public should note that electric vehicles are the ideal future transportation tool. We cannot wait until the day we run out of fossil fuels to start looking for alternatives. As for fuel cells, Musk is even more outspoken. As a power source for vehicles, fuel cells are simply too outrageous. , and then gave some explanations.

　　Although some companies are still researching fuel cell technology, in Musk's view, fuel cells face many problems. First of all, compared to fuel cells, lithium batteries have better energy density within certain limits. Secondly, fuel cells are too expensive. The most important point is that the safety of the fuel cell needs to be tested. Musk said that we all know that hydrogen is a very dangerous gas. Hydrogen is more suitable for rocket fuel than vehicle power.

　　Obviously, Musk did not come to Germany to badmouth fuel cells this time. Given that Tesla's current sales in Germany are not ideal, Musk made a special trip to build momentum in the German market. In the promotional event, Musk said that he has tasked the company's top engineering team to develop a tuning option package specifically developed for German highway conditions. This option package will be provided free of charge to those who have purchased Tesla S German car owners and will be equipped on Tesla S sold in Germany in the future. Musk did not describe the details of this tuning option package. He only said that this option package can improve the vehicle's handling at high speeds. Consumers hope that while improving control stability, this optional package can cancel the electronic speed limit function.

　　Because Germany's highway network is very developed, the average speed of vehicles is higher than that of many countries. High-speed driving will increase the power consumption and shorten the driving range of electric vehicles. In response to this problem, Musk assured German users that the first six electric vehicle charging stations have broken ground in Germany and will be opened by the end of 2014. Next, Tesla will also deploy 40 to 50 electric vehicle charging stations in Germany, thereby achieving full coverage of charging stations in Germany. By then, in Germany, there will be a charging station every 200 kilometers on average, making charging more convenient and faster for users. In addition, Tesla has also begun to further improve the power of the vehicle, and the power of the drive motor will be increased from the current 120kW to 135kW. The construction of service stations will gradually follow suit. According to Tesla's plan, by the end of next year, 80% of German users will be able to find a Tesla service station within a radius of 100 kilometers.
