SubjectLCFS Credits Affecting Light Duty Hydrogen Stations
Comment
I am merely a fuel cell EV owner and, unfortunately, the
technicalities of the LCFS rules are over my head.  However, I do
understand that the current regulations are the cause of the high
prices at the light duty hydrogen stations as well as the
pause/stoppage in the construction of new stations.

I have been one of the lucky few FCEV drivers over the past 6-1/2
years who have been able to ride the ups and downs of the hydrogen
infrastructure. There were slow improvements and expansion being
made, but it wasn't until the price of hydrogen increased did the
sales of FCEVs start to drop as well as the stoppage of station
construction.  I am now very concerned that without changes to the
LCFS regulations the expansion and improvements made since 2015
will all be for naught and light duty hydrogen stations will not
survive.

Please do not throw away all the work of the past 10+ years. Please
do not emphasize heavy duty stations over light duty stations as
both are important.  Please do not let bio-diesel or any other
renewable carbon producing fuels overthrow the future of a truly
clean fuel that is hydrogen.

Regards,
Bruce Hata
