Priorities & Preferences

Considerations and Assumptions

Vehicle Technology

  • • Current EV range capabilities (up to 700 km for commercial, 1000 km for personal)
  • • Typical EV charging times (30-60 minutes for 80% charge)
  • • Typical hydrogen refueling times (3-5 minutes)

Infrastructure

  • • Home charging requires dedicated parking space
  • • Public charging availability varies by region
  • • Hydrogen stations are currently limited in most regions

Usage Patterns

  • • Commercial users have higher uptime requirements
  • • Terrain affects energy consumption
  • • Weather conditions can impact range
