JC, you people are so brainwashed from being bullied and indoctrinated, so abused and damaged that you all can't or won't see the ugly truth. FML, You people are harming me, my children, and others children. And this sh*t won't stop because humility, accuracy, and good enough reasoning has been emotionally beaten out of you all.

So we’re going to leave a £1500 suitcase on the street next to our car, while we go for a meeting/coffee/shopping? Chances of it being there when we get back?

This channel is becoming my #1 EV channel now, maybe even surpassing fullycharged? So well made, entertaining, yet no bs. Well done!

"You get full weather protection on your way to your destination" - yes, unless a car next to you drives over a puddle, or rain doesn't fall perpendicularly, or you're not driving straight into the wind...

In-road charging leads to smaller (lighter) batteries which in turn leads to lower particle emission from tyre wear - win win! Decent video Eilis!

Whilst I suspect the infrastructure for Elonroad is currently beyond us maybe we could put them along the on-road parking zones of housing areas without drives/garages.

If the zip charge can be plugged into your home storage and wheeled out in an emergency it could pay for itself as both backup for house car or even grid if connected through home brilliant

ELONROAD looks great! I honestly think its best use is as an alternative to trolly buses as they are much easier to regulate than electric cars. I think that getting private transportation to be compatible with it is going to be a headache but a fleet of buses and maybe a fleet of cabs is more realistic

I want to see the first taxi thing crash tested hehe. The elonroad assumes a very small city ideology. Powering something like that around australia or USA. Hehe good luck. It also would be an even greater strain on the power grid that’s already at failing point due to unreliable power. None of these things seem to have been “thought through” to their logical conclusion.

U didn't even get a new scrunchie for christmas 😭😭😭 Great content as always💯❤👍

For many people, driving others around as uber drivers is their only income. Self-driving taxis don't reduce emissions; they just take away jobs.

People have commented about Elonroad, but this has not been mentioned; if you are going to pin the car to the road, you may as well do it properly and have the road steer it, as well. Make a full-sized slot car set. You can design streets such that they never intersect and cars that have active cruise will never crash (unless the machine fails, but it's easy to recognize and slam the brakes - you are only running into something in front). If you go that way; go the whole nine yards. If vehicles stay small, the smallest intersections can have flyovers and ramps. The power supply doesn't need to charge a battery, it can power it and stop it by cutting supply. If someone enters from driveways, the power cuts to cars that should yield, and returns when the new addition has moved far enough up the street. It makes autonomy safety that much easier to implement.

That battery suitcase thing is a great idea. The road is such a cool idea but the downside would be getting it installed in developing countries.

I'm asking for an ELONROAD for about 10 years. But nobody has built it yet.

The ELONROAD could be a game changer, although it would probably be decades before it actually happens. The air pollution in cities from transport is completely overblown. The biggest contributor to air pollution in cities is energy production, air quality is actually far lower in cities in poorer countries where there are fewer cars than in Western countries where you have millions of cars, lorries and buses.

Why "decades"? It looks reasonably easy to install. And, no, it's not going to be on every single street, but on major thoroughfares it looks like kind of a no-brainer. I do see paying for the power being kind of an issue, but if bridge tolls can be automated I'm sure they can find a way to bill for usage for this.

@@Thunderbuck Paying for the power should be simple enough, that's the easy part. The technology is still only in testing and development, and while I agree that it's a fantastic idea there are significant hurdles to implementing it on a large scale. From design to testing, approval. Then planning, construction, power supply. Like I said, this will take years before it will be ready to go.

Without tyres we wouldn't have this comfort what we have today I think... Or road to front door I think?

For me it's the Tyre collective - simple idea that could be realised quite cheaply & effectively 👍 The Elonroad is a nice idea but I suspect wouldn't work in the UK for at least 2 reasons - firstly payment for the electricity, although it could be a new way to tax cars in the future 🤔. Secondly, in the UK at least, we seem to be constantly digging up our roads for one reason or another so they would probably be out of action most of the time 😆

ELONROAD!!! Let's get it done!

Excuse me! ..."tiny city car" (showing a picture of my Leaf) 450L boot , massive headroom, don't think so

Guess what. They were a bit late with that idea. In Amsterdam we developed that "VO VOXI" thing in 1967 and realized it in 1974. It was electric and called "the Witkar" (translated "white car") Needles to say that it failed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witkar

Zipcharge Go, looks a really decent idea. Hope it goes mainstream. PS. I like the way Electroheads videos are presented. Yes, EVs are far better for the planet than ICE, but the Elon Musks of this world are not the messiah. EVs do have limitations and to be fair Lithium Ion batteries cannot be classed as green in any way. Thanks to technology though, there is a future in massed transit and problems associated are diminishing.

Imagine EV makers embracing the idea of a battery suitcase - by putting a charging plug in your trunk. You could then charge your car from your personal battery once you get home and let it refill during the day. OR there could be like 3 Battery bays in your car -so you'd be commuting with one but travelling with three batteries ... reducing the amount of time you're driving around too much weight.

Tyre collective, good idea, but poorly positioned on the wheel, it will get smashed by people reversing into the curb. Vo Voxi, good idea for the lazy people, but the Tyre Collective would have a problem here! Elon road should be called Kensroad, because I thought this up 50 years ago, before lithium was even born, including you dear, naturally its by far the best idea here, which makes the following idea redundant, and would be easily stolen, and used to power someone's home! Keep the idea coming!!!!

The Elon road is interesting, is this wireless charging in the go then? Like the portable charger too. That would help many with range anxiety wouldn’t it?? 😉

Funny how we strive for efficiency and automation but we forget about all the jobs that automation takes away.

The green one, or the one in the fish eye?

Most of these ideas assume we will continue to have vehicles with 4 wheels on the ground. Imagine a 🌎 without roads. 😲

If the Elonroad is using inductive charging then it's not that environmentally friendly as it's not that efficient. Especially over the gap between car and road. If something extends from the car to connect or just get closer for inductive charging then a small bump in the road will soon take care of that. For UK autonomous driving, the first thing that needs to be done is all road markings will have to be repainted and must be better maintained as missing road markings is the main downfall for this.

We haven't really embraced the eScooter, the feds will swipe it and chop it up given any chance.

I don't suffer from range anxiety in my Zoe 50 with CCS.

The portable battery pack a good idea but I think they got they figures massively wrong there and I am sure you are well aware of this. No car does 10 miles to the kWh maybe down hill but 12 miles each range would be more than enough to get to a place to charge.

1.28... You said tires wear on E Buses. On EV Cars where the "experienced EV" driver will slow down [take their foot off accelerator pedal] early to save battery power and get regeneration. Provided they do not spin the wheel on take-off, IMHO will last many 10 X thousands of miles. Hopefully, through your channel, you can show new EV car owners how to get the best out of their new cars.

Hydrogen has a better chance of fixing range anxiety for EV's. Elon Road needs a fully autonomous system. Just built a tram or train.

There's no way that Zipcharge case is gonna be there when you get back if you think you're nipping off around town while it does it's thing. No way. The only solution is to make it an on-board item stowed in the boot or other. And that just permanently adds to the weight. The little pod Taxis - unless it's fully enclosed you'll get to work looking like you got dragged through a hedge backwards due to the buffeting of the wind. Autonomous vehicles - been waiting for that since the first episode of Knight Rider. And even when they crack it, legislation, public trust, and road maintenance will be massive barriers. The wireless charging needs pushing and perfecting big time. It's the only real answer to the problem of how everyone - and I mean everyone - can run an EV. If you don't make them as easy to use as existing IC vehicles, they'll never be wholly embraced. And that really needs to happen quickly. 😎

Decent

So you leave the zip charge on the side of the street for an hour.... And it costs 1500 Yup that will definitly be there when you come back.

Pretty sure there are effective ways to secure it to the car, or a fixed object on the sidewalk. Put a PIN pad on it so that if a thief tries to take it without putting in the right code it sets off an alarm and notifies the driver.

Electric roads would be amazing. Can't see it happening any time soon though.

My first question is when did they start making plastic tyres? I always thought it was rubber. Now, if it shreds on the road, it should be catching rubber And if they inject some plastics, the bulk of the catch should still be rubber. Is rubber harmful to ingest? Going further, will the magic box catch enough of it from where it is placed? My first guess is that it sticks to the road, and then from there fly off when not stuck. This would be in an upward direction or blown back due to wind, and it appears as though the box would have moved ahead into clean air at the speed of the car. It may be just 200 mm (8 inches for Yanks), but that seems too much to catch anything. Then there's the inhibitive cost of collection. Ways to reduce usage may be better, or occasional weekend walks in the countryside may maintain the health.

VERY INFORMATIVE BACK IN THE 80S GREEN PEACE WERE CALLED LUNATICS

you could just steal that batery XD, it would be very cool if you could be eable to charge your car from the inside

The big battery pack is not needed if Elonroad goes the whole nine yards, because it is counterproductive to have self-powered cars on a powered road, But say roads remain as they are (most likely)? If you are going to put that case in your boot (trunk for the Yanks), it may as well plug straight into the existing batteries from inside the boot. There is no need to run flat and get it out and wait to charge. It just happens as you go. It's far safer, as well. If you run both flat, you can put it in an Uber and recharge it, then Uber back to the crippled car to get you and it to the public charger. Beats towing the car, so the idea is good, but half-baked. They should be standard on every EV.

Your second idea is an EV, and the taxi angle is just creating an unnecessary niche. It will compete against similar EVs on the open market, because they would be silly to restrict sales.

Evolution Roads have been talked about a couple of times before. The reason why they haven't worked, and why they are going to take a very, very, very long time to be introduced is cost. It's going to cost trillions of pounds sterling to install this technology ==> planning, consultation, production of the charging equipment, digging up hundreds of miles of roads, installing the charging equipment over hundreds of miles of road surfaces. No government or private company is ready to sink £trillions into that kind of technology yet. Our generation is not going to charge our cars on such roads. Maybe our grand kids will be lucky ones to witness its introduction. Right now, it's just a fantasy.

No thank you to autonomous driving. Where the "driver" is still responsible in an accident and not the company that makes the vehicle autonomous. Who is cleaning these autonomous taxi's? They will be disgusting. The tragedy of the commons story is really not being taken into consideration.

Considering a good proportion of London taxis are now either electric or range extended and the rest are in the main euro six then I'd say your claim that they are up to 30x as toxic as a private car are wildly exaggerated. There are circa 14k taxis in London yet over 100k private hire, you often mention ride sharing apps in your videos, perhaps your attention should be directed at the growing number of private hire vehicles in London causing congestion and producing far more pollution than 14 thousand taxis. Another thing often missing from your reports regards vehicles such as this pod are rules and regulations. These are in place to safeguard both passenger and driver and include such trivialities as the construction of the vehicle, the licensing of the driver etc, simply deciding to run a pod on the streets of London with little to no safeguards is a tad idealistic. Perhaps a chat with the likes of the LTDA could enlighten you a little when it comes to public and private hire, contrary to what the media like to portray the London taxi trade is as keen to improve the air quality in London as everyone else and myself personally will be buying an electric car this year if work levels improve. I enjoy your vids so hopefully you'll take note of my criticism with the good intention I've posted it with. Regards.

I know you are all Electroheads, but you are excited about crazy stuff. Carrying around an add'l battery to charge your battery is like carrying around a gas can with gas to fill it up. Stupid. BTW, how do you prevent people from stealing it? More charging stations are needed even along the curb to solve this problem. ELONROAD is even dumber. Way too much infrastructure costs. Not even remotely feasible in most countries. A better idea is to put them at stop lights so cars can get mini charges while waiting for the light to change or just short segments between long distances like a toll road. Really, what is needed is better batteries and more efficient motors which will come as the industry moves to EV's.
