March 2021 [News](https://www.hynion.com/news/tag/news) ![Featured Image](https://www.hynion.com/hubfs/Bilder/gronn-hydrogen.jpg) She filled her tank with emission-free fuel in three minutes. – Hydrogen is perfect for those of us who want to drive emission-free but who do not want to spend a lot of time on charging and range anxiety. On Wednesday, March 10, customer number 5000 stopped by Hynion's hydrogen station in Høvik to fill up the tank with completely emission-free fuel. Hynion's CEO Ulf Hafseld was coincidentally present and treated the lucky hydrogen car driver to a full tank. – This was a pleasant surprise, said Illona Lødrup. She has been driving a hydrogen car for four years. – Hydrogen is perfect for those of us who want to drive emission-free, but do not want to spend a lot of time charging – or drive around with range anxiety, says Lødrup. She spent about three minutes filling her tank and took the opportunity to strike up a pleasant conversation with the Hynion CEO, who could tell her more about the range of hydrogen cars. – Hydrogen cars today have a range of between 60 and 70 miles, i.e., significantly longer than most electric cars. So you can drive quite far without the need for refills, said Hafseld. Hafseld has a cabin on Hallingskarvet and easily drives back and forth, including short trips to the shop and the ski resort, without having to fill up the tank. – I have no doubt that more and more people will open their eyes to hydrogen as a fuel, he says. There are now about 120 cars that regularly fill hydrogen at the station at Høvik, and these cars have visited the station a total of 5,000 times since it opened in November 2019. – There has been a lot of traffic at the station. In fact, this is the busiest hydrogen station in all of Scandinavia, Hafseld concludes. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) #### Related Posts ### [Interim report for the first half-year 2024 published](https://www.hynion.com/news/interim-report-for-the-first-half-year-2024-published) [We have just published our interim report for the first half-year 2024.
