California has committed $250M towards building out a network of hydrogen fuel cell stations, but the state has seen a decline in the number of these as fuel cell cars is overtaken by battery-electric models and stalled by hydrogen shortages and high fuel prices. Last year, drivers bought only 3,143 hydrogen cars in California, the only state that sells them, compared to 380,000 BEVs. Despite this, California’s Governor Jerry Brown has set a target of 200 hydrogen stations by 2025, but Shell declined a $41 million state grant to build 50 stations last year and California scaled back its target to 130 stations by 2027. Despite efforts to develop hydrogen cars, manufacturers such as Toyota and Hyundai are pushing fuel cell models and Honda has announced a hydrogen hybrid version of its CR-V.
