Additionally, Hyperion will globally launch its ‘XF-7 Hyper:Fuel’ power station. This space station-inspired charger utilizes several NASA technologies to refuel hydrogen (FCEV) and battery (BEV) electric vehicles. Because hydrogen ions (hyper-ion) can store mass amounts of electricity, this station can easily charge battery and fuel cell systems. Beyond this, XF-7 can also provide utility grid support for emergency and backup power applications.
Hyperion will exhibit its futuristic product line showcasing the complete H2 ecosystem— starting with solar power to generate hydrogen, and ending with electrically powered vehicles with water vapor exhaust. All company products are inspired by space travel and utilize NASA technologies. Come to the LA Auto Show to learn about hydrogen and the future of fuel!
