Toyota wants hydrogen to succeed so bad it’s paying people to buy the Mirai::Toyota is offering some amazing deals for its hydrogen fuel cell-powered Mirai. That is, if customers can find the hydrogen to power it.
That is, if customers can find the hydrogen to power it.
That’d be my big concern; where tf would you re-fuel it?
There one single hydrogen fuel station in each of the two major cities near me.

I disagree, EV are the exact opposite. Electricity was EVERYWHERE even before the EV were a thing.
A regular plug can charge an electric car and for few thousands $ you can install an 11 or 22kW charger.

Most Hydrogen fuel is still made from natural gas. It’s greenwashing.

And most electricity is still made from fossil fuels. The point is that it doesn’t have to be, unlike gasoline.
