Hyperion Unveils Mobile Station For Hydrogen & Electric Vehicles

NTPC Green Energy Ltd Joins Hands with Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port for Green Hydrogen Hub

Hydrogen technology conglomerate Hyperion Motors has announced the launch of its Hyper:Fuel Mobile Stations that are capable of refueling both hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs).

The official statement of Hyperion held that the mobilized refueling station will be available across the USA, and can be easily deployed and redeployed when driving patterns change. Previously, Hyperion revealed its 1,000-mile range XP-1 in 2020 to demonstrate the benefits of hydrogen-ion storage over lithium-ion.

Utilizing hydrogen-ion storage technology, Hyper:Fuel Mobile Stations address a primary challenge facing many commercial hydrogen trucks and battery cars on the road today that are refueling and recharging infrastructure. Refueling and recharging infrastructure is key to FCEV and BEV adoption. Hyperion said that its new stations can travel to and from existing gas stations, big box stores, and other high-traffic locations to meet real-time demand.

The mobilised stations by Hyperion contain a hydrogen dispenser for FCEVs and an optional DC fast-charger for BEVs. This enables it to service two separate vehicle segments simultaneously at lower cost and risk compared with permanently installed charging stations or hydrogen dispensers.

Hyperion says that FCEV customers can refuel in five minutes and most BEV customers can recharge 80% of their battery in under 20 minutes.

Hyperion stations can be equipped to produce hydrogen on-site via water electrolysis. This decentralized approach means it can generate green hydrogen from the sun when combined with solar.

A Technological Manifestation

Hyoerion mentions that the on-site fuel generation is clean, green, and can dramatically increase station uptime—another major hurdle for hydrogen stations today. The mobilized station can be quickly deployed without long construction delays, opening new markets across the USA for automakers to increase FCEV and BEV sales.

As per Hyperion, the Internal systems will include NASA and Shell GameChanger technologies to boost power and increase refueling efficiency. The roof is tiled with solar-tracking photovoltaic panels to maximize direct sunlight. Customers will experience state-of-the-art touch screen controls, contactless payment, and a self-sanitizing nozzle utilizing UV light.

Hyperion CEO Angelo Kafantaris said, “Todays’ energy infrastructure is pushed to its absolute limit. The industry needed a versatile, scalable solution to power our growing needs.”
