Why You Might Never Have To Buy A Porsche Taycan

The 2035 combustion ban marks a significant turning point in the global automotive industry, aiming to phase out the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in favor of electric and alternative fuel vehicles. This ambitious regulation, adopted by numerous countries including the UK and members of the European Union, is driven by the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. By 2035, all new cars and vans sold must be zero-emission, effectively ending the era of petrol and diesel vehicles.
This policy is expected to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), spur innovation in battery technology, and enhance the infrastructure for EV charging. Automakers are investing heavily in EV development, with many announcing plans to become fully electric well before the 2035 deadline. The ban also encourages advancements in hydrogen fuel cell technology and other sustainable energy solutions. However, it poses significant challenges, including the need for substantial investment in charging networks, ensuring grid stability, and addressing the environmental impact of battery production and disposal. Ultimately, the 2035 combustion ban represents a bold step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future for transportation.
But are you desperately hoping that something might come along to change this? There just might be....

Full Battery Electric Vehicle sales rose again in the UK last month (despite what you may read in the mass media) and now account for almost 1 in 5 of all new cars here. eFuels produce the same amount of NOx pollution as fossil fuels. While they may keep a few ICE cars going for the wealthy in the future, they will not be a mass-market solution. Far too many other things that will require the world's green hydrogen production.

That's only if there's no further innovation in the sector over the next 10 years - I hope there will be.

@@TABonTV The barrier is mainly physics. The efficiency (and cost) advantage of just putting the green energy straight into a battery EV will always trump eFuel production.

The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research looked at e-fuel planned production back in 2023 and concluded that there is only likely to be enough global production to cover just 10% of German demand by 2035. It’s pretty much a non-starter for mass use, but maybe suitable for classics, although there will be plenty of demand to help reduce emissions from the hard to abate sectors of the economy - chemicals, shipping etc. E-fuels are also not legal in the UK for new car road use after the (soon to be reinstated) 2030 pure combustion/2035 hybrid ban. This was a German and Italian government plan which the European Commission had to add into the EU 2035 combustion phase out plan.

Make a wish foundation for young children is such a wonderful worthy cause Keep up the good work on the channel

Thanks, and yes, this is a wonderful charity 👍🏻

What will come out of the exhaust of an engine running on e-fuel? Is that going to be water (like burning hydrogen) or something else?

[@TABonTV]

Unfortunately pretty much the same as normal fuel right now, hopefully that can be improved

@@TABonTV any fire produces NOx. It has nothing to do with the fuel, it's just nitrogen and oxygen from the air, combined into NOx by fire. There's nothing you can do. If NOx is banned, as it should, no combustion engine has future. Cars, stoves, boilers...

Hi. E Fuels and H2 will never reach the price range of fossil fuels today! To produce H2 you need 3 times of electrical power and E Fuels needs 7 times more than to drive electric vehicles! So you have to pay for E Fuels when mass produced about 6 € per liter!!! The next thing is, to fill up the ICE cars and trucks around Europe you need about 1 million of the pilot site from Porsche Chile!! Where do you get them from? If you produce E Fuels on the other side of the globe you have to pay for the transport extra!! AND, the ships has to drive by E Fuels or H2 as well! So than you have to pay for 1 liter E Fuels about 9 to 10 €!!! So it's easy told story, it never happens! Mr. Blume said last month that he only could guarantee E Fuels for about the half of the 911 fleet if they could get the site in Chile to work properly until 2035!!! They have to buy CO2 from some factories because their CO2 airfilter section still doesn't work more than 5% and the engineerings said they need about more 25 years to get it fixed. In 25 years will about 80% drive fully electric! So only a little bit of ICE drivers with a lot of money will be able to use E Fuels..... 😉

Thanks for the thoughts Joe! Interesting perspective. I agree with everything you've said there, but this assumes nothing changes in the current process. Now I appreciate there aren't many levers to pull, but it might just be that we'll stumble across a breakthrough. You never know! Stay safe 🙏🏻

Gee, I only missed it by a few minutes. I think I will camp out here and see if I can get honors on the next one. My ego gets such a rush when I'm first.
