1. Cost of Fuel Cell is almost half of Lithium ion Battery. (including Hydrogen Storage tank)
At $53 per kW, the Mirai’s 114 kW fuel cell system would cost just over $6000. The high pressure storage for 5 kg H₂ is probably around $3000.
Tesla’s average cost for packs will be $217/kWh. Using that figure, the 85 kWh Model S battery pack would come to $18,500.
2. Toyota Mirai:
145 kg total for tanks + FC system + 5 kg hydrogen, delivering an EPA estimated range of 312 miles.
Tesla Model s:
540 kg for the battery pack in a Tesla Model S with a rated range of 265 miles.
3. FC vehicles are also much faster to refuel.
