Ciao Alberto,
I can only speak for the situation in California but it has actually gotten worse. Of the six stations now open to consumers, three are down for months for repair, upgrade, lack of funds and so on. None of the open ones are near enough to us to be worth the drive to fuel so we won't be driving it for awhile. On a different note, we don't even have our Tucson right now anyway as it had a problem in the fuel stack and Hyundai has had it in for repair for a month with no news on when we will get it back. Other leasers are having theirs gone for 3-4 weeks just for maintenance and only sometimes get the loaner car we were promised when leasing. So after a year it is getting harder to stay positive even though we still believe in the technology. There are some people so upset they are considering returning the vehicle to Hyundai. Although there are more stations being built, the ratio of stations to fuelers will remain constant with more and more FCEVs hitting the roads.
We used to pretty much just fuel up when at the airport anyway and didn't make many drives just to fuel, but with that station down and the one being built near us not up until September, we have been making more fueling only trips.
Ciao FCVleaser thanks for the reply, but Hyundai what says for all these disruptions ? And what did they tell you for stop your Tucson? if Hyundai wants to spread the technology fcv and have succes, now that comes the Mirai and soon also the Honda fcv, they should follow much more the customers.
