Good afternoon. I've been driving electric for years, like everyone else, but I'm curious about these new gasoline vehicles you're promoting. Could you walk me through how they work?
So I would need to carry liquid fuel inside the vehicle. Seems like it might be dangerous, if there’s an accident or something. Anyway, how much does this tank hold?
Every few hundred kilometres? That seems inconvenient. With my current car, I just plug in at home overnight. But with this I'd have to make special trips to these 'gas stations' regularly?
Wait, how many moving parts in this engine? Over a thousand? The electric motor in the car I have now has maybe twenty. What's the maintenance schedule like?
Let me see, so there’s oil changes every few months… plus the air filters… and spark plugs… what does all this servicing cost per year?
It’s pretty noisy. Is that normal?
You mentioned the fuel costs fluctuate based on global markets and geopolitics? So I'd never know what my transportation costs might be month to month?
Hang on, I just realized… after we burn this fuel inside the engine, what happens to the exhaust? Where do all those combustion byproducts go?
Directly into the atmosphere? Every single vehicle? That seems like it might be a problem at scale.
I appreciate the demonstration, but I'm struggling to see the advantages over electric vehicles. The complexity, the inconvenience, the ongoing costs, and on top of that the sustainability concerns… just what exactly is the selling point here?
