![]() ![]() ![]() It was originally designed by Bombardier and had two years in service as the Bombardier CSeries. The Airbus A220 is a family of five-abreast narrow-body airliners by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership. Better to wait for more reliable infrastructure to support before considering a Mirai.15 July 2016 with Swiss International Air Lines The bottom line is the concept is great and the vehicle drives nice, but refueling will consume your life. Additionally, there is usually a period of 5 minutes or so between the time the car ahead of you finishes and the time the pump is ready to fuel the next car - the pump even has a countdown timer. This almost always causes the pump connection to freeze and get stuck to the vehicle - meaning you cant get it off the car and need to wait for it to thaw. Some factors here, hydrogen is compressed and is very cold. Time to refuel each vehicle takes ~10 minutes to re-fuel on a good day and this doesn't count the 30 - 60 minutes of waiting in line. ![]() this adds pressure to the remaining stations compounding the issues above (lack of stations and available fuel). At any given time 30-50 percent of the stations are off line for maintenance. Twice I have seen Mirai's on tow trucks waiting in line for fuel. Additionally, the supply of available fuel has been outpaced by demand. There just aren't enough fueling locations or pumps. Toyota continues to promote, sell and lease the vehicle beyond the ability to support. lack of infrastructure - there just aren't enough stations. Where this car fall short is in the availability of fuel. No issues with the reliability or performance. The car itself is a great concept - green, comfortable, quiet, smooth. I don’t care how much fuel Toyota will pay for, this is the worst car purchase I have ever made and I have owned a Plymouth Omni before. First you need to find a functioning station with fuel, something we all typically take for granted.ġ0) forget it, I could keep going but if you have made it down this far in my review of this silly car I recommend you buy it off of me, and try it for yourself. However the reality is that it will take longer for you to fuel your car. Well the fact is that if there is no one in front of you at the station and the station is operational the it could be accurate. I rarely exceed that speed in bumper to bumper traffic.ĩ) California Fuel Cell Partnership states on their website that it only takes 3-5 minutes to fill one of these cars. I have considered switching to kilometers so that it appears I can go further than I actually can.Ĩ) The traffic aware cruise control is useless in Los Angeles traffic, as it shuts off at 28mph. (It didn’t today)Ħ) fuel costs about $16.00 for the equivalent to one single gallon of gasoline or an entire Tesla Model S or Lucid Air battery charged.ħ) The full range is to be indicated 238 miles. 1) H2 is extremely difficult to find for this vehicle.Ģ) The H2 you find has come from fossil fuels (in fairness so does most of the electricity in the California grid)Ĥ) has a button to dump the water but it doesn’t notify you when you need to dump the water.ĥ) can’t even drive 300 miles away from Los Angeles because the only station on I5 probably doesn’t work. ![]()
