Toyota Mirai Class Action Lawsuit Says Cars Aren't Worth It (www.carcomplaints.com)

Such a shame. Fuel cell EVs seem like such a good idea according to Toyota, but the reality of living with one seems pretty terrible, not to mention the problems with producing hydrogen cleanly and making it available affordably and conveniently.

In my local area, and large portions of the country our gas lines have been upgraded to be “hydrogen ready”.

Tesla was able to install superchargers all over the world and work with governments to increase power infrastructure and develop a rapid charging network.

If governments were willing to upgrade gas pipelines why didn’t Toyota invest in a hydrogen fuelling network? As hydrogen is mostly extracted from crude oil using a massive amount of electricity, I’m sure the fossil fuel lobby would have helped too!

That who killed the hydrogen car? documentary is not required, the answer is physics and economics.
