Stuck at the station in Fremont, not enough to get to the next station, I call the number on the pump and the advisor is not in.
Do u guys have a different number to call. I had the number of a tech, but doesn’t work there anymore
The hydrogen truck in the background is refilling the reservoir.
Going to use what I can if anything is left around xmas I'll be giving fuel away.
Not a mirai, a nexo, but is this good fuel efficiency?
I've had a rental for almost two months now. I've been paying insurance on my Mirai to have it sitting in the driveway. I move it maybe once a week to make room when needed.
Anyone else going through the same thing?
Here's another one which sounds promising.
The proverbial question: "Will is scale?"
I hope so.
What the title says
How is the lawsuit going about the hydrogen price? It is quite expensive and we can not drive the MIRAI with this $36/kg price.
2023 XLE shows laggy response starting last week. Does anyone have the same experience?
Hi,
I live in south bay with a hydrogen station within 5 mins of home. We're considering a Mirai for our new teen driver. We expect him to drive at most 12 mi/day. So over 3 years we'll probably put no more than 20k on the dash. The used 2018 Mirais look great with 9k up front and 15k of fuel which should be good for about 25k miles. (which is equivalent saving about 3k in gas if we went for a Camry instead). In addition, we'll probably save around $330/year in maintenance, or about 1k over 3 years, compared to getting a gas car.
We don't plan on keeping the car after the fuel credits expire. So by the time we're done with it would have cost us 9k (purchase) - 3k (gas savings) - 1k (maintenance savings) = 5k, which seems like a steal as it has warranty coverage too.
Are there any other things to consider (insurance, resale, etc.)?
Thanks
Does anyone have an idea what other Toyota shares the same body style? I will have an empty shell, and I was looking at throwing a gas motor in it.
Anyone know how to open the trunk on a dead battery? I have jumper cables in the trunk…

EDIT: NOT NEW, CERTIFIED PRE OWNED.
had a car accident monday morning that totalled my car. Need a new one.
Thats when i saw the 2023 mirai limited on longos website for 16k. longo said they can deduct 30% for the rebate as a down payment, and include a 15k cash card that im assuming after reading on this forum is only gonna last 2 years. i plan to later trade in it when paid off.
my question is, would this be considered a decent deal for a 2023? considering gas prices vs hydrogen, im assuming the cash card is about 6k in gas fuel saved. everything else is out of pocket. i have 4k in cash.
what would be the best way to approach this or if i should steer clear altogether with hydrogen prices?
i live in a 30 minute drive radius of 3 stations (torrance,culvercity,LAX)
to my math $16k- $5k(CA rebate automatically given as a down) - $4k (initial down payment)+ $15k in cash card( $5k in petrol) would leave me with about less than $5k for out of pocket. What fees can i expect with a dealershipn and what should i be avoiding/getting? Gap insurance?
this is my first "big" car purchase.
The Replace Your Ride program in LA County offers up to $12k for turning in your beater for a FCEV/BEV/PHEV. They phased out vanilla hybrids for the program womp womp.
Toyota dealerships have CPO 2023 Mirais with around 20k miles for slightly under $20k.
If I could snag a Mirai for ~$10k out of pocket with a $15k fuel card would it be worth it?
I’ve read all the posts and signs point to “don’t do it - get anything else.” H2 costs are astronomical. They won’t come down anytime soon, but I do live relatively close to a fuel station about 2 miles away.
Figured I’d ask if I’m only using the car around 200 miles/week. PHEVs seem to suck and BEVs are kinda expensive unless one opts for economic model.
I probably answered my own question already haha.
EDIT: The next car I get will be my only 4-wheel possession. I have a motorcycle that I typically use for commuting. Also, I really want an AWD vehicle or at the very least RWD like the Mirai if it’s dirt cheap. Also, thanks for all the informative replies. Helps a bunch!
Hi everyone, i’m at about 9 miles left on my mirai, and forgot my card in my other pair of scrubs at home (i work graveyard in garden grove) I get off in about 2 hours (8am) and the closest station is the placentia location in terms of miles and traffic. I live in chino hills, is there a way or some sort of program that i can use from toyota that can cover refueling costs in case of an emergency? I only have about 10$ in my bank account until i get paid in 2 days, and thats only enough fuel to hopefully get me home 🥹
Hi 👋🏽 Filled tank on my 2021 Mirai Limited! $74 at True Zero station in Placentia.
Bought in April 2021, 31k miles, by my estimation 4k left on the fuel card. 18k left on the (0.0%) loan. WWYD?
Hey everyone,
I’m thinking about purchasing a Toyota Mirai and wanted to get some feedback from those in the Bay Area or anyone knowledgeable about hydrogen vehicles. I love the idea of driving a zero-emission car, but I have some concerns about the availability of hydrogen fueling stations.
From what I’ve researched, there are a few stations around, but I’m worried about the convenience of fueling up compared to traditional gas stations or even EV chargers. Are there enough H2 stations in the Bay Area to make owning a Mirai practical?
Also, how reliable have you found the infrastructure to be? Are there any tips for someone considering this transition?
Thanks for any insights you can share!
