Re: NBC, but eFuel news from Porsche...

[jalopnik.com]

there is conveniently no mention of price. obviously an exact price would be difficult to establish but they don't even mention an estimate? me thinks that it will be majorly expensive otherwise it would have been done ages ago.

The price should be cheaper than EV charges. The Porsche Synthetic Fuel has fewer "ingredients" to make it burn cleaner and not more so than charging; although, don't know the electrical rate that they are using as a comparison. Another article on Porsche's Synthetic Fuel: Porsche Gas for ICE

I have seen a lot of discussion on the e-fuel.

It has been in existence since WW II and is becoming more and more viable. The various methods talk about coal/hydrogen/carbon monoxide being synthesized to motor fuel.
The process requires heat and pressure - READ - energy. I suspect the process currently takes more energy than it creates.
But if solar and wind etc. get good enough - who knows?

There are lots of difficulties with projects like these, but they are important for bridging the "hump" between the past and the future. I wish them all the best.
