Cost to Fill Hydrogen Car

On the cost of hydrogen-charged vehicles
In today's world, hydrogen-charged vehicles are gradually emerging, and everyone thinks about their cost. The cost of a hydrogen-charged vehicle is related to various things and cannot be covered in one word.

First, the price of hydrogen sources. There are various methods for hydrogen production. If hydrogen is reformed from fossil fuels, the cost may be slightly lower, but it is also influenced by the price of fossil fuels. If hydrogen is produced from electrolyzed water, although it is pure and clean, the power consumption is quite large, and the fluctuation of electricity prices directly affects the price of hydrogen. And the purification work also requires fees, so the price of hydrogen sources is variable.

Second, hydrogen-filled facilities. The construction of a hydrogen charging station is expensive and difficult. The equipment needs to be refined and the maintenance is also complicated, and these expenses are all shared in the cost of hydrogen charging. At present, the hydrogen charging station is still small, and it is difficult to reduce its cost due to the scale, resulting in the high price of hydrogen charging.

Furthermore, the structure and performance of the car. The engine and hydrogen storage device of the hydrogen charging car have exquisite technology and complicated technology. Different cars have different losses on hydrogen. The one with excellent performance may be able to travel long distances with less hydrogen, but the cost is also high. Only when the cost of purchasing a car and the cost of hydrogen charging is considered together can we know the cost.

Looking at today, the cost of charging a hydrogen vehicle with hydrogen is higher than that of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. However, with each passing day, the method of hydrogen source production may be advanced, and the hydrogen charging facilities will be expanded, and the scale efficiency will be obvious. The cost of hydrogen charging vehicles may be reduced. At that time, the journey of hydrogen charging vehicles may be smoother.
