Due to lack of demand. Maybe sense is starting to take hold with all of this green H2 for transport nonsense after all.

Dan, this'll make you laugh. Two weeks ago I went for some work on my back, and arrived earlier than expected (clear traffic). I'm parked in a park within site of the clinic, and have 10 mins to spare, so decide to put a bit of air in all the tyres as they are a tad under. As I start to footpump the first wheel, two women walk up chatting, one heads for a car further away, the other for the big Range Rover in front.

RR women says hello, and asks if I want to use her electric compressor pump. I say I'm fine, then she asks how I find the BEV, and mentions that her husband says that hydrogen cars are the future. I immediately and jokingly asked if he works in the oil and gas industry .......... and she replies yes, how did I know!

She was actually lovely, and we had a pleasant chat. She'd had all her tyres let down, and a sticker saying it was because it was a big SUV.

Interesting!

I’ve read about the vigilante tyre deflators - they specifically target SUVs…
