What are the restrictions? There’s a hydrogen station in Berkeley in University Avenue across the street from a school and with houses on two sides.



I think he meant fire safety of hydrogen requires more consideration than an electric charger.


In NL a hydrogen station needs to follow loads of safety requirements. So not just fire safety, safety in general. This was raised as an issue around hydrogen gas/fuel stations.

Note that due to increase of EVs the safety requirements for garages have been increased (in NL). E.g. more monitoring is needed, automatic link to fire department, plus changes in construction requirements. Construction bit is due to an EV burning for longer. They basically demand thicker concrete walls and so on. This from memory and it's only what I've been reading (interested in safety; I don't work in construction).
