Toyota and Shell team up to bring a Hydrogen Fueling station near you

Probably not in the next few weeks or months but surely in the near future. Toyota and Shell team will build hydrogen fueling stations in California. Hydrogen fueling stations are already being built in varying numbers by different countries with many already in California (see locations at the end of post). Read more here.

These pictures are copied over from the Wikipedia, showing the Hydrogen Fueling nozzle and the Hydrogen pump station.


According to this Japan Times'  article, Japan will have 40,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles on the road by 2020 which will be expanded to 80,000 by 2030. Presently it has 400 fuel-cell vehicles serviced by 80 hydrogen fueling stations. By March 2021 there will be at least 320 fueling stations. Filling time is ridiculously short.

The other competitors in the region are Honda and Hyundai.
