Startup Electriq ~ Global (earlier Terragenic) showcased its new fuel at the EcoMotion 2018 "Smart Mobility Summit". According to the company, this is a safe and inexpensive clean fuel, in which water accounts for 60% of the total composition. Electriq uses its technology to extract hydrogen from water-based fuels and use hydrogen to generate electricity to power vehicles. According to information on the company's official website, the fuel enables vehicles to achieve zero emissions. Compared with conventional fuel, only half of the price of the former can be used to double the mileage of the vehicle.
Electriq ~ Global's system contains three core elements: liquid fuel (Electriq ~ Fuel), which can react with the catalyst (Electriq ~ Switch), release the required hydrogen (on demand), and then capture the spent fuel (spent fuel) , Put it in a device, and then replenish hydrogen and water for recycling (Electriq ~ Recycling). The entire reaction process is very safe, achieving zero emissions from the vehicle. At normal temperature and pressure, this water-based liquid fuel is very safe and stable.

Compared to lithium-ion batteries or compressed hydrogen technology, Electriq ~ Global's technology has reduced vehicle fuel costs by half, but has doubled the mileage. In addition, its energy density is 15 times the value of the current Tesla car battery.
Taking pure electric buses as a reference object, if the former has a range of 250 kilometers, the charging time is 300 minutes (5 hours). When the bus adopts Electriq ~ Fuel, its cruising range will increase to 1,000 kilometers, and the refueling may take less than 5 minutes.
Electriq ~ Global's technology maps the current "well-to-wheel" fueling ecosystem, which means that even if it is rolled out globally in the future, there is almost no need for dedicated infrastructure (unlike batteries and compression Natural gas technology).
