The mobilised refuelling station will be available across the US and can be deployed easily and redeployed when driving patterns change. Previously, Hyperion revealed its 1,000-mile range XP-1 in 2020 to demonstrate the benefits of hydrogen-ion storage over lithium-ion. Utilising hydrogen-ion storage technology, Hyper:Fuel Mobile Stations address a primary challenge facing many commercial hydrogen trucks and battery cars on the road today: refuelling and recharging infrastructure.
Investment into infrastructure buildout can be disrupted and delayed by numerous issues, including site selection, construction costs, and others. Many experts believe that this lack of refuelling, and recharging infrastructure is the largest barrier to FCEV and BEV adoption. The mobile stations
Hyperion's mobilised station can travel to and from existing gas stations, big box stores, and other high-traffic locations to meet real-time demand. They contain a hydrogen dispenser for FCEVs and an optional DC fast-charger for BEVs. This enables them to service two separate vehicle segments simultaneously at lower cost and risk compared with permanently installed charging stations or hydrogen dispensers. FCEV customers can refuel in five minutes and most BEV customers can recharge 80% of their battery in under 20 minutes.
Hyper:Fuel Mobile Stations can be equipped to produce hydrogen on-site via water electrolysis. This decentralised approach means it can generate green hydrogen from the sun when combined with solar. On-site fuel generation is clean, green, and can dramatically increase station uptime, another major hurdle for hydrogen stations today. The mobilised station can be quickly deployed without long construction delays, opening new markets across the US for automakers to increase FCEV and BEV sales.
Hyper:Fuel Mobile Stations will be manufactured at the company's 65-acre manufacturing HQ in Columbus, OH. Hyperion will roll out these stations across the United States to form a dynamic Hyper:Fuel network with its partners starting in 2023.
