How Do You Refuel a Hydrogen Car?

Hydrogen-powered vehicles don't need charging like a Battery-Electric car. You refuel them with hydrogen gas, pumped in the same safe and convenient way you would a conventional petrol or diesel car. Filling up takes the same amount of time too, between 3-5 minutes for a full tank.

What do you fill a hydrogen car with?

Hydrogen can be pumped into a vehicle's fuel tank just like gas. You can fill up quickly, the same way you would with gas or diesel. And once it has a full tank, a fuel-cell vehicle can travel just as far as a gas vehicle.

How much does it cost to refuel a hydrogen car?

Hydrogen fuel cell cars now average between 312 miles and 380 miles in range, according to the EPA. They will cost about $80 to refuel from empty (most drivers don't let the tank run down to empty before they refuel, so end up refueling at a cost of $55 to $65).
