The recent growth in the California hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) market offers the opportunity to analyze how refueling stations that drivers use after some experience compare with those they initially intended to use. Online surveys completed by 124 FCV adopters in California in early 2019 were analyzed. Respondents listed stations they initially planned to use, stations that they later used, subjective reasons for using them, and important travel destinations. Network GIS analysis was then used to measure estimated travel times between both available and planned retail hydrogen stations and home, work, and frequently traveled routes, both at the time of adoption and at the time of the survey. Results show that 40% of respondents changed refueling stations over time. Those with stations objectively nearer to home, work, and frequently traveled routes were less likely to change their list. Drivers were more likely to subjectively label stations as near home and less likely to label them as on the way compared with objective measurements of these criteria, though these differences are greater for respondents who changed stations. Regardless of whether the station was available pre-adoption or opened post-adoption, stations that respondents added to their lists were farther from home than those they initially intended to use. For stations available pre-adoption, reliability positively influenced adding them after experience, while stations added by drivers that opened post-adoption tended to require short deviations to reach. These results indicate that a mixture of geographic and station-level characteristics contribute to FCV drivers changing stations over time.

加利福尼亚氢燃料电池汽车（FCV）市场最近的增长提供了一个机会，可以分析驾驶员在获得一些经验之后使用的加油站与最初打算使用的加油站的比较。分析了2019年初加利福尼亚州124位FCV收养者完成的在线调查。受访者列出了他们最初计划使用的站点，以后使用的站点，使用它们的主观原因以及重要的旅行目的地。然后，在采用时和调查时，使用网络GIS分析来测量可用和计划中的零售加氢站与家庭，工作和经常旅行的路线之间的估计旅行时间。结果表明，有40％的受访者随时间更换了加油站。那些车站离家更近，工作，并且经常旅行的路线不太可能更改其列表。与客观评估这些标准相比，驾驶员更可能在主观上将车站标记为离家较近，并且不太可能在途中标记车站，尽管对于更换车站的受访者而言，这些差异更大。不管该站是在采用前还是在采用后都开放，受访者添加到列表中的站点都比他们最初打算使用的站点离家更远。对于可采用的预加油站，可靠性会对其经验产生积极影响，而启用后加油的驾驶员添加的加油站往往需要很短的偏差才能到达。这些结果表明，地理和车站级别特征的混合会导致FCV驾驶员随时间推移更换车站。
