Comment:
FCEV cars have a huge advantage over BEV cars in that they have no range anxiety issues & long charging times but there are very few H2 stations & those are all too close together given that the 3 mainstream FCEVs have a comfortable 300mile range. As part of the VW Dieselgate settlement with CARB they should put aside a BILLION dollars to build out the H2 Highway along major CA FWY & HWY routes to be readily accessible & not just at an obscure gas station somewhere. Secondly the AAA will be wise to consider to have a "Mobile H2 Refill" service truck to dispense H2 to a stranded FCEV anywhere in California just as they do now with the 5 gallon jerry-can of regular gas. The H2 would be kept in a carbon-fiber tank ala Hyundai Tucson FCEV & filled to H70/10,000PSI at MAX VOLUME. This would quickly replenish an stranded empty tank of a FCEV in a minute equalizing at H35/5,000PSI for a half tank each driving range of about 150miles..more than enough to find H2 station.
