NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

However, owing to small scale and limited competition, dispensed hydrogen fuel prices currently are higher, averaging about $16.30/kg kg in California in the third quarter of 2018. About half of the levelized cost of retail station hydrogen can be attributed to hydrogen delivery, compression, and dispensing costs. . —Penev et al.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

You would tell it where you want to go—and since this is a trip, you make several times a year, you would have it as a stored destination—and you would tell the car, okay, give me a route and the car will route you via DC fast chargers. The main concern is purchase price or more likely, monthly payment. How much do I have to put down?
