Driving A Hydrogen Car: Is This Really "The Future?"

Опубликовано 24 сентября 2018, 17:08

Every time I shoot a video featuring a battery-electric car, someone in the comments pops up to say “you know, the REAL future is hydrogen cars.” The thing is, to drive a hydrogen fuel cell car you need to live near hydrogen fueling stations … and the closest one to my home in Boston is 2,547 miles away. So when I was in San Francisco last week, I called up the fine folks at Toyota and asked them to put me behind the wheel of the Toyota Mirai (which is Japanese for "future," by the by). Before I knew, it I was hurtling down the highway in Toyota's FCV, leaving nothing behind me but water. It's not the freshest news on the block, but still I thought it was a great opportunity to share some details on how hydrogen cars work, why they’re cool ... and why I also think they’re probably not the future.
