The tanks are expensive (3000 PSI) and take up significant room.
Refill equipment suitable for home use are expensive, use lots of
electricity, and take all night. The range is said to be 100-200
miles.

The FuelMaker Model C3 takes 8.9A@230V and delivers the energy
equivalent of 1 gallon of gasoline/hour. Assuming 25mpg and 200
mile range, that's 8 hours or 12 KWH. I don't have a price but

FuelMaker:  801 530 2417.
