True Zero , which operates the world’s largest network of hydrogen charging stations, has powered two-million miles of zero-emission driving on California roads 60 days after reaching its first million miles. This kind of ramp means customers are choosing electric fuel cells as a vehicle that does it all, but with zero emissions.
