00:00This could kill the electric car.
00:02Oh, yeah, well, because, you know, the synthetic fuel.
00:04What?
00:05Well, we can make petrol.
00:06What?
00:07But what with oil?
00:08No.
00:09Synthetic petrol needs talking about,
00:11because it could kill the EV and be greener too.
00:14Carbon captured from chimneys,
00:16plus hydrogen from water using wind power,
00:18makes real petrol for the car you've already got.
00:21And 1.4 billion cars can stay on the road
00:25and don't have to be really.
00:26The drawbacks?
00:27It's pricey, and it takes loads of electricity to make.
00:30But it needs to happen.
00:32If we want greener cars,
00:34what about people who can't charge at home or can't afford this?
00:37You've got to go and find 45 grand to spend on a Kia now
00:40that you won't be able to charge out of your house
00:41and that will be worth 10 grand next year
00:44when the technology is completely outdated.
00:46It's idiotic.
00:47We need what's best for everyone and what actually cuts carbon.
00:51Early batches were reckoned at over 40 quid a litre,
00:54but estimates suggest, at scale, it could drop under a pound.
00:58This is the future.
00:59So why is no one talking about it?
01:01Follow for more and witness the potential death of the electric car.
