Going the distance for reliability

Seen today at the Torrance Hydrogen station.  A Hyundai Fuel Cell car based on their Tuscan SUV. 

Talking briefly with the guys who had trailered this up to Torrance, they came all the way up here instead of UC Irvine, which I'd imagine is closer to Hyundai's Fountain Valley headquarters, because the Torrance station pumps faster and is more reliable.  No arguing there. 

I had my first hydrogen refueling experience at the UC Irvine station and we had arrived just after a Toyota Highlander fuel cell had finished filling up.  Meaning there wasn't enough pressure built up and there wasn't enough refrigerant to cool down the hydrogen to keep pumping.  We had to stand around and wait about 30 minutes before the system would let us fill up.  Because of this, I haven't bothered to ask for an account to use UC Irvine and I will wait for the new Shell station in Newport Beach to open, which hopefully will be much more efficient.
