How do I refuel a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle?

Filling up a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle is very similar to pumping gasoline:

  • It typically takes about 35 minutes to fill the tank at a hydrogen station.
  • The process uses a special nozzle, and the pump automatically stops when the tank is full.
  • Once filled, most hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles can drive 300‒400 miles before refueling, depending on the model.

The main difference is that hydrogen stations are less common than gas stations today, so availability depends on where you live.
