1. FCVs emit nothing from their tailpipe. FCVs emit water vapor.
2. FCVs in California are required to use 33 percent renewably sourced gaseous hydrogen. The rest comes from natural gas.
3. Fuel cells for cars are only ecologically sound if they are able to run on hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
4. Pro – Fast Fill Up
FCV can refill in 3-5 minutes with enough hydrogen to go 200-300 miles.
5. Con – Limited Infrastructure
There are but a handful of stations in California and while cost estimates have varied, we’re talking billions to build out a nationwide network of reliable hydrogen stations.
6. pros
Futuristic powertrain technology
7. cons
Pricey
8. According to many, including Toyota, “hydrogen is the fuel of the future…and always will be.”
9. Toyota is confident and its fuel cell system together with the battery pack and most of the electrical hardware is covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
10. The first advantage of this car is that is has a lot of room for four passengers, but this vehicle also has longer range compared to most of the EVs available on the market.
11. Pro – Long Driving Range
A Mirai with 5.0 kg of hydrogen is rated for 312 miles range. A Tesla Model S with a 1,200-pound or more battery can do 270.
12. Con – Hydrogen is Expensive
$10-$12 per kg, which would mean $50-60 for a complete fill for the 312-mile Mirai.
13. Pro – Hydrogen Costs Projected to be Cut By More Than Half
14. Con – FCVs are Unproven
No one has seen a 10-year-old production FCV
15. Pro – FCVs are Heavily Subsidized
16. Con – FCVs Are Still Pricey
