How much does a hydrogen car cost?

The cost of a hydrogen car varies depending on the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the country and region where it is sold. In general, hydrogen cars are more expensive than gasoline-powered vehicles, due to the cost of the fuel cell technology and the limited availability of hydrogen refueling stations.

In the United States, the Hyundai Nexo is currently the only hydrogen car available for purchase. The Nexo has a starting price of $58,300, and it is eligible for a federal tax credit of $7,500. Other hydrogen cars that are available in other countries include the Toyota Mirai, the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC F-Cell.

The cost of hydrogen fuel itself can also vary significantly depending on the location. In California, where there is a relatively well-developed hydrogen infrastructure, hydrogen fuel can cost as little as $3 per kilogram. In other parts of the country, hydrogen fuel can cost as much as $10 per kilogram.

Overall, the cost of owning and operating a hydrogen car can be higher than the cost of owning and operating a gasoline-powered vehicle. However, as the technology continues to develop and the hydrogen infrastructure improves, the cost of hydrogen cars is expected to come down in the future.
