Following on the news that President Obama has named Ernest J. Moniz to be the new head of the Department of Energy, I thought I would take this opportunity to traipse through the DoE website.
One of the items I found on the Department’s “Maps” section was the Alternative Fueling Station Locator.
If perhaps you are interesting in purchasing an electric car and want to see how many charging stations are in your ZIP code, this map will help out. In my old stomping grounds of Northern Virginia, this map shows that there are ten battery recharging stations within ten miles.
I also found out that in my older stomping grounds (Southern California), there are only eight places to refuel in all of Los Angeles and Orange Counties if your vehicle runs on liquified natural gas (LNG).
However, if your car of choice runs on hydrogen, then you only have ten (there’s your number for the day) stations throughout the entire country.
Take your pick of these ten
So, please, plan your trip with your hydrogen car carefully.
