...Compare that to electric chargers, which are no different for businesses than it is for homes:

Superchargers are a different story:



Who knows if the cost has gone down or if most of the cost includes the purchase of the land.
I should rephrase. Why is it harder to support 100 hydrogen-powered vehicles than 100 battery-powered vehicles?

Assuming both stations (assuming supercharger) are built from scratch, not using conveniently placed filling station locations we have all over the country/world, and that each "station" fuels one vehicle at a time, then you would have to build, what, 10-20 battery charging stations for each hydrogen fueling station to match that capacity. Big picture math doesn't add up for batteries here.

Plus, consumers can stop for hydrogen anytime, rather than have to sit and wait for an hour or more (time is money after all). Hydrogen can be produced at a consistent rate and dispensed as needed, where you would find surges on travel days with batteries (assuming you could find an open charger at just the right time).
