An Innovative Business Model for Fuel Cell Plug-in Electric Vehicles

摘要

I. The high capital requirement of hydrogen infrastructure and s low penetration of FCEVs that need push by high fuel availabilty creates a new chicken-n-egg challenge. II. We can start finding a solution by thinking outside the box of "driving like a gasoline car". III. Business cases are made based on ownership cost analysis that consider connectivity, FC PHEV, and refueling demand management and/or clustering infrastructure strategy. 1. The current Tucson FCEV lease offer can be attractive to consumers near the H2 stations. 2. The connectivity and FC PHEV technology can expand the consumer base outside the clusters, even with low hydrogen availability.
