California Initiative to Streamline Permitting of New Hydrogen and Electric Fueling Stations

Automobile manufacturers plan to roll out hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the 2015 to 2017 timeframe, while California’s share of the US market for plug-in electric vehicles currently stands at nearly 40%.

The initiative began earlier this year when the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) was approached by several automotive companies—including Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan and General Motors—which identified a need for additional hydrogen and electric fueling stations to support plans to increase their zero emission fleets.
