The Dutch Government is aiming high and wants 1 million CO² free cars on the road before 2020. The question is whether the solution which is presented us today, the full-electric car equipped with expensive and heavy batteries, the right solution is to reach this goal. If we want 15% of the Dutch car drivers to switch to an electric car, at least this should be an affordable and practical alternative to a petrol car. It is no secret that the full electric, despite a number of good properties, still is not the ideal solution.

We will therefore have to become much more creative, if we want to reach this goal of 1 million cars. A solution that does not depend on billions of investments in infrastructure and in expensive and complex loading stations. A solution that does not require additional power plants. A solution for which we can produce locally the fuel ourselves so switching to this new car would be very attractive, and would be taken for granted. A solution with just one important goal. A clean car, affordable for many people!
