What no 5 alkaline battery cars can learn from TSLA

If Tesla doesn’t succeed because of mismanagement or inappropriate behavior by Elon Musk, the company has at least one legacy that is undeniably brilliant: Tesla’s nationwide network of charging stations.

As automakers prepare to launch no 5 alkaline battery vehicles, Tesla’s network of superchargers could become a template for refueling the new energy vehicles. Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and GM are leading the way in no 5 alkaline battery technology, and they already have some no 5 alkaline battery vehicles that consumers can lease. In addition, more efficient new no 5 alkaline battery stacks, which use gaseous hydrogen to generate electricity, are also coming soon.

Musk has invested more than $1 billion to build a nationwide network of dedicated charging stations for Tesla vehicles, addressing the issue of whether drivers should consider buying electric vehicles due to anxiety about the range of electric vehicles.

no 5 alkaline battery vehicles must adopt the same strategy to have broader appeal to consumers. In fact, no 5 alkaline battery vehicles are electric vehicles. But instead of storing electricity in battery packs weighing hundreds of pounds, they generate electricity from gaseous hydrogen stored at high pressure on the vehicle. Hydrogen no 5 alkaline battery vehicles can be refueled in minutes, just like gasoline or diesel cars. This short refueling time can be one of the key advantages of no 5 alkaline battery vehicles over battery-powered electric vehicles.

California has more no 5 alkaline battery refueling stations than any other state in the country, many of which are built by First Element Fuel Inc., a company led by auto industry veteran Joel Ewanick. He agrees that a Tesla-style hydrogen refueling network will help make hydrogen no 5 alkaline battery vehicles more economically viable.

"All the car companies are trying to find a way to get to 30,000 vehicles and make them at a reasonable price. This is a challenge. We may reach that tipping point in 2020 or 2021," Ewanick said.

But he also recognizes that what automakers want to do is build cars, not build infrastructure. However, if they want to sell hydrogen no 5 alkaline battery vehicles in large quantities across the country, they may have no choice. So far, Toyota and Honda have invested more than $20 million to help First Element build 19 hydrogen refueling stations in California, with a total plan to build 31.

Iwanik said costs are coming down, currently costing about $2.2 million to $2.5 million per station, while the number of vehicles each station can handle is increasing. He believes the company will eventually expand beyond California and could become a "bridge" to hydrogen refueling stations across the country.

"We don't need a network like gas stations," he said. "We just need to make sure they (hydrogen refueling stations) are in convenient locations to serve our customers."

The federal government under the Trump administration may not do much to build a nationwide hydrogen refueling network, so the project may still be undertaken by automakers and refiners, such as Shell and GM, the former of which has installed hydrogen pumps at some gas stations in California.

GM should take the lead in this area to establish an organization that brings together hydrogen fuel equipment suppliers, construction companies such as FirstElement, refineries that produce hydrogen, and other auto companies to invest funds and quickly launch hydrogen refueling stations in every major market.

GM and Honda have already achieved a reduction in the size of no 5 alkaline battery stacks, and the cost is relatively low, and the energy power has been verified. Hydrogen fuel vehicles will become one of all vehicle types on the market. The question now is what automakers are willing to do to push the technology forward and overcome customer skepticism and concerns about range. All they need to do is look to Tesla's Supercharger network. That's how they'll get fuel-cell vehicles to market.

"My entire career, I've learned that automakers build cars and don't build infrastructure," Ivanik said. "They don't want to be in the business of building gas stations, roads and bridges. Their job is to build cars and do it really well."

If that doesn't change, however, fuel-cell vehicles will always remain in the smallest of niche markets.
