Lee Cronin, a chemist at the University of Glasgow in Scotland and another leading researcher on the technology, agrees. He says flow batteries “would turn EVs into the cultural equivalent of a fuel car. Your range anxiety would be gone. And you have the existing pipe infrastructure for moving liquids around” — a reference to the service stations now in existence that could be retrofitted to pump the battery liquid instead of gasoline.

The idea is that the Eco Explorer’s fridge, cooktop, dimmable LED light, USB ports and 12 V sockets stay powered via battery during the trip, all without the need for propane tanks or shore power hookups. Campervan Co even says that the electrical system can power handy accessories like coffeemakers and microwaves, and it suggests plugging in a slow cooker to prepare dinner on the long ride to camp.

Batteries are ideal for use with renewable sources, as they store collected energy from sources like the sun and wind, ensuring that it’s ready to send out when people need it. Tesla’s 100-megawatt behemoth in South Australia, switched on in November 2017, helped the state avoid blackouts. These used to be a frequent occurrence for the state, which derives a third of its energy from renewable sources like wind and solar.

There are more than 400,000 square kilometers of man-made reservoirs in the world, which the World Bank report says could support at least 400 gigawatts of sun-powered energy, doubling the current worldwide photovoltaics capacity. Currently, only about 1.1 gigawatts worth of floating solar panels have been installed around the planet:

That’s not to be confused with just tapping ‘left’ or ‘F’ which will, instead, simply equip (or unequip) your light.

Safety is a concern, as hydrogen is flammable, but so is gasoline and lithium-ion batteries. The transportation of hydrogen for use at refueling stations poses additional safety risks — stations use sensors to monitor for leaks. There have not been serious incidents reported in California, and the industrial sector has been transporting hydrogen for decades.

It took nearly four more years, but the first Volt — a longer-range version of a plug-in hybrid — rolled off the assembly line late in 2010. GM had hopes that customers would be ready for a car that could go 38 miles on electricity before a small internal combustion generator kicked in.

Cushman and Cronin are working to solve this problem, though their teams are taking very different approaches.

GM now has the Chevrolet Bolt, which can go 238 miles on a single charge, and it has promised many more electric vehicles in the future.
