So What's It Really Like To Get A Fill-up In A Hydrogen Car?
With all this talk about hydrogen cars being right around the corner we thought it would be helpful for all those trying to learn more about the future of autos to see what it's really like to fill-up at hydrogen filling station.

Here's one in operation in Irvine.

Thanks to Fred K for the tip.

Yeah... but Honda claims that the FCX Clarity will do close to 70 mpg... Then it isn't that bad compared to a normal car of that size which will barely make it past 25, now is it?

No people nooo. TheSailor, we need to stop fooling ourselves with saying, its not bad and its ok, since we're getting a better mileages out of the hydrogen. We need CHEAP fuel period. Thank you 001 for this article I was talking to my friend yesterday as just how much a hydrogen gallon costs and here it is more expensive than gas.

We're being screwed by the oil companies and something must be done. We all expected hydrogen will be the savior, $4.99/gl is another killer to me. Why does gas cost $0.40/gl in the gulf countries, if we can produce hydrogen here, why can't we have it for $0.40/gl as well?? These are the questions that we need to ask and get answers for and pursue them so we can save our society seriously, and not keep fooling ourselves by mileages, etc...

If today its $4.99/gl, believe me in 5 years it will be $8/gl, what will we say then?

Think about it this way: would you prefer to pay $5/gallon and get 70 miles of driving out of each gallon or pay $3/gallon and get 30 miles per gallon? Even though the price of the fuel is higher, if it gives you a longer range the cost per mile ends up being lower. So just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's worse.

The hydrogen in these filling stations is produced from methane making it pretty expensive to produce. Furthermore, storing hydrogen is quite tricky and consumes quite a bit of energy meaning that it is expensive to store as well!

But how long does it take to fill up the tank?! I've heard 10 minutes! and that doesn't look like a place I just can't wait to waste ten minutes at!

If hydrogen is determined to be the fuel of the future, the price will likely come down as the infrastructure for fueling is built up and the technology for producing it advances.

Remember, Hydrogen energy is not about $/Gl, its about saving mother earth. You need to understand that we can get better mileage out of one gallon.
