***Stations in development categories
The following development categories define the various stages of development for hydrogen stations serving light-duty (passenger) fuel cell electric vehicles following applicable standards. Location and timing are tentative until the station is completed.
Construction = have begun construction or are in commissioning.
In Permitting = have either began their pre-permit application, the permit is in process, planning approval is in process, or the station has been given approval to build.
Proposed = have established site control.
Funded but not in development = In late 2020, the California Energy Commission funded (GFO 19-602) more than 100 stations. Station developers submitted lists of stations to be funded in batches. While the first batch of funding required station locations, station locations were not required for subsequent batches. As these station locations are identified, they will be added to the proposed category.
Currently Unavailable = temporarily unavailable for customer use with no known return to operation date or is expected to be unavailable for longer than 30 days.
**** 5 dual-purpose stations (passenger and heavy-duty truck) were announced in the recent California Energy Commission funding announcement (GFO 19-602).
