Bringing this back to life - is there commercial equipment available now which I can use to make hydrogen and fill a FCV at home ? Didn't find anything on that in this thread ...
Because you have to compress it! With a 240V compressorsmkettner said:Nothing economical. Even if H2 was piped to your house the economics may not work as natural gas filling at home is not well received.

Incorrect. It's well documented in the main H2 thread. Off the shelf H2 generation/dispensing equipment has been available in the US for at least the past 14 years. Small scale hydrolyzers are used in many labs because they use H2 for gas cromatography, there are two homes in the US that are using H2 for renewable storage and to power vehicles, and Honda has home-scale units deployed in a number of countries.evnow said:So, nothing available- at any price ?
Sure it is. Just like the 450 mile FCEV is in production that you can buy right now (and have been for over a year now) Andy mentioned earlier. You just have to believe!smkettner said:Not exactly available...
I checked the first few pages of the H2 thread. I don't see a place where I can buy FCV fueling equipment that works off of electricity and water. You mention some 2 houses in the US (2 !) who have cobbled up something - that is not the meaning of available for retail sale.AndyH said:Incorrect. It's well documented in the main H2 thread.

I guess it's reasonable to check the first few pages of a 92 page thread and decide it doesn't contain the info you seek.evnow said:I checked the first few pages of the H2 thread.

If I missed something let me know.
I'm looking for a place where I can buy the equipment and install in my garage (should be able to fit the car as well - not just the equipment) - just like I've installed the EVSE.
