The Norwegian Company Blamed for California's Hydrogen Car Woes
Briefly

The case against Nel ASA reveals that hydrogen fueling stations promoted by major companies were never operational, leaving numerous car owners without viable options.
Iwatani claims that Nel duped it into purchasing untested hydrogen fueling stations, offering false assurances about the technology's readiness, leading to significant financial losses.
The court's decision to keep the core allegations against Nel intact highlights the extent of fraud involved in California's hydrogen infrastructure rollout, raising questions about accountability.
With a trial set for October 2026, the ongoing case could expose the failures of the hydrogen fuel market and challenge the credibility of industry giants like Toyota and Shell.
