have the statement "1 Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE) means 6.059 lb of
Liquefied Natual Gas."
(H) All hydrogen fuel kept, offered, or exposed for sale
and sold at retail shall be in mass units in terms of the kilogram. The symbol
for hydrogen motor fuel shall be in the capital letter "H." The word
"hydrogen" may also be used.
(1) A computing dispenser
must display the unit price in whole cents on the basis of price per
kilogram.
(2) The service pressures
of the dispenser must be conspicuously shown on the user interface in bar or
the SI unit of pascal (Pa) (e.g., MPa).
(3) The product identity
must be shown in a conspicuous location on the dispenser.

requirements (www.nfpa.org).
(5) Street signage or
advertisements must include the service pressure (expressed in megapascals) at
which the dispenser(s) delivers hydrogen fuel (e.g., H35 or H70). The unit
price on street signage or advertisements must be in terms of price per
kilogram in whole cents (e.g., 3.49 per kg, not 3.499 per kg).
(I) All electrical energy kept, offered, or exposed for
sale and sold at retail as a motor fuel shall be in units in terms of the
kilowatt-hour (kWh). In addition to the fee assessed for the quantity of
electrical energy sold, fees may be assessed for other services; such fees may
be based on time measurement and/or a fixed fee.
(1) A computing electric
vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) shall display the unit price in whole cents
(e.e., 0.12) or tenths of one cent (e.g., 0.119) on the basis of price per

of charge, this fact shall be clearly indicated in place of the unit
price.
(2) For fixed service applications, the
following information shall be conspicuously displayed or posted on the face of
the device:

wireless).
(3) For variable service applications,
the following information shall be conspicuously displayed or posted on the
face of the device:
(a) The type of delivery (i.e., variable);
(b) The minimum and maximum power transfer that can occur during
a transaction, including whether service can be reduced to zero;
(c) The condition under which variations in electrical energy
transfer will occur; and
(d) The type of electrical energy transfer (e.g., AC, DC,
