Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel car drives onto Californian roads for the first time

The first of the latest generation of the vehicle has debuted in Lancaster through a partnership. The first of the latest model of Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel car was released onto Lancaster, California roads as a result of a partnership with the City of Lancaster. As a result of this partnership, Lex Heslin became the first person there to drive the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). The new Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel car has a range of more than 300 miles. This latest model of the FCEV has a 30 percent longer range than the previous generation. The fuel system also received a redesign between the last generation and this one, providing greater power delivery to the 20-inch alloy wheels. “The Mirai is proof that hydrogen works,” said Heslin in a PR Newswire release. “It has a much longer range than any of the current electric vehicles (EVs), and takes only minutes to fill up compared to charging batteries, which can take hours. California currently has 45 hydrogen (H2) filling stations. That number will increase to 100 in 2023, with plans to top 1,000 stations by 2030.
