Amidst California’s ongoing efforts to promote environmentally friendly transportation and the changing landscape of hydrogen fuel infrastructure, Toyota has announced a dramatic rebate of up to $40,000 off MSRP for the 2023 Toyota Mirai.

    Fuel cells are far more efficient than ICEs. Refueling times are already comparable to that of an ICE car. Fuel cells can easily last the lifetime of the car. Range increases with every model. This is anti-progress and anti-green nonsense. You’re pretty regurgitating corporate propaganda, either from the oil industry or from battery companies.

      Hahaha, more efficient that ICE? 70 % hydrogen production 70 % storage 70 % fuel cell Leaving out everything else, where does that get us?

      Fuel cells last 100’000 miles. Simply calling that “like if the vehicle” is absurd.

      Anti Green is pissing away 3x as much energy to make sure stuff stays the same.

        All steps can approach 100% efficiency. It is not much different than how a battery car works.

        Fuel cells have already been test to 30,000 hours in real world settings. We’re easily looking at million+ miles in certain circumstances. This is plain Ludditism to think that reliability can’t be achieved.
