How to Refuel Your Hydrogen Vehicle

While finding hydrogen fuel stations can still be challenging compared to traditional gas stations, our hydrogen station locator makes it easy to find hydrogen fueling stations near you. Once you've located a hydrogen fuel station, refueling is surprisingly simple:

  • 3-5 Minute Fill Time

    Most hydrogen vehicles can be fully refueled in just 3-5 minutes, similar to conventional vehicles.

  • Safety First

    The nozzle locks onto your vehicle's receptacle, and the system performs safety checks before dispensing begins.

  • Pay at the Pump

    Most stations accept credit cards and fleet cards. Some may require pre-payment or registration.

With more hydrogen fuel stations being added every month, it's easier than ever to make the switch to clean transportation.

Explore Other Alternative Energy Options

While hydrogen represents the future of zero-emission transportation, it's part of a broader ecosystem of alternative energy solutions transforming how we power our lives and vehicles.

Electric Vehicle Charging

EV charging infrastructure is rapidly expanding nationwide. Pairing your home EV charger with residential solar creates a truly sustainable transportation solution, allowing you to charge your vehicle with clean, renewable energy from the sun.

E85 Flex Fuel

E85 ethanol fuel offers a cleaner-burning alternative for flex-fuel vehicles. With over 4,000 stations nationwide, finding E85 fuel stations is easier than ever. This renewable fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40% compared to regular gasoline.

Biodiesel

Biodiesel provides a renewable alternative for diesel vehicles, made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking grease. It can be used in most diesel engines with little to no modifications, offering reduced emissions and supporting domestic fuel production.

The Future is Multi-Fuel

As we transition to cleaner transportation, different alternative fuels serve different needs. Whether it's hydrogen for long-range zero-emission driving, electric vehicles powered by solar energy, or biofuels for existing vehicle fleets, each plays a vital role in reducing our carbon footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about hydrogen fuel stations and refueling

How much does hydrogen fuel cost?

As of 2025, hydrogen fuel in California costs $32-$36 per kilogram at most retail stations. Most hydrogen vehicles hold 5-6 kg of hydrogen, making a full tank cost approximately $175-$200. Prices have increased significantly from previous years due to supply constraints and infrastructure challenges. Many manufacturers offer fuel credits to offset these costs. The Department of Energy tracks hydrogen fuel prices across the country.

Are hydrogen fuel stations safe?

Yes, hydrogen fuel stations are designed with multiple safety features. Hydrogen dispensers include grounding mechanisms, breakaway hoses, and leak detection systems. The fueling process is automated with safety checks before dispensing begins. Stations meet strict safety standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

How do I know if a hydrogen refueling station near me is available?

Our hydrogen fuel station locator shows real-time availability when provided by station operators. With approximately 52 operational stations in the U.S. (50 in California, 1 in Hawaii, 1 in Washington), advance planning is essential. Station reliability can vary, with periodic maintenance and supply disruptions affecting availability. We strongly recommend checking station status before your trip using the map above, and having backup station options identified. Some stations require membership or access cards for use.

Can any hydrogen vehicle use any hydrogen station?

Most public hydrogen stations in the U.S. use the SAE J2601 standard with H70 (700 bar) dispensers, which are compatible with all light-duty hydrogen vehicles like the Toyota Mirai, Honda Clarity, and Hyundai Nexo. Some older stations may only have H35 (350 bar) dispensers. Always check the station details in the map above.

What is the current state of hydrogen station infrastructure?

The U.S. hydrogen refueling network currently consists of approximately 52 operational stations, with 50 located in California, 1 in Hawaii, and 1 in Washington. The infrastructure has faced challenges in recent years, with some station closures and supply disruptions. California projects reaching 129 stations by 2030. While the network remains concentrated in California, ongoing investments in hydrogen infrastructure through federal programs aim to support expansion in the coming years. Use our locator tool to find currently operational hydrogen fuel stations near you.
