Hi,
I would like to thank you for your effort in maintaining this website.
Do you have any further information in regard to the opening date, for the station in Santa Nella, CA?
Thank you.

David,
Thank you very much. It is very difficult to tell when a station will come online. Here is a link to a great resource that shows all hydrogen refueling stations in California & their status. I don’t know who maintains the data at this URL but it is always in sync with the California Fuel Cell Partnership so I’m guessing CaFCP maintains the site. You can see on the file that Santa Nella was supposed to open in Q3-2019 but it is still at the “Planning Approval” status which means it will not be opening very soon. Once the status of the station changes to “Under Construction” the station will usually be 6 months from that point away from opening. That’s just my guess. The station would need to get built, then commissioning occurs, and then it opens to the public. Because California already has 41 open stations, each new station goes through the process much quicker than the first few stations.
