The station, located at 8686 Granville Street in Vancouver, is the first in a six-station network HTEC is building in Greater Vancouver and Victoria. This network will enable the deployment of the first 1,000 zero-emission H2 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in British Columbia (BC), and HTEC will partner with Shell on three of the six stations.

“How fitting Canada’s first retail H2 station opens in Vancouver when the country’s first gas station also opened here, 111 years ago.
