About half of the levelized cost of retail station hydrogen can be attributed to hydrogen delivery, compression, and dispensing costs. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a dispensed cost of about $7/kg must be achieved to make FCEVs competitive with gasoline internal combustion engine vehicles in early FCEV markets.
