South Bay Los Angeles Air Products Stations February 1, 2025

The Lawndale station is down until at least Monday. Because of this, staff is on-site at the Torrance station today, Saturday. They will only be there for a few hours; I just passed by and there was a Mirai and a Nexo refueling. The Torrance station is scheduled to reopen on Monday, but I don't know what their hours will be. They just repaired the compressor at this station, and might have limited hours to test it out again.

Fuel for sale

Someone hit my car recently and chances are, it’s gonna get scraped, I’ve been holding off getting the inspection but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a write off. I’m selling fills for $22/kg, let me know if you’re interested and we can transact in east/ South Bay. Also, willing to sell the card, open to offers. Comment if interested.

Tax rebate

I have a 2021 Mirai and I never claimed the tax credit when doing my taxes. Do you know how to claim it on my taxes?

Thinking of getting a Used 2023 Mirai.

Hi, I’m a college student thinking of getting a used 2023 XLE Mirai. I want to because of the $15000 fuel card deal. It’s going to run me about $13k for a 44000 Mirai XLE.

Should I go through with getting it? I live in the middle of 4 fueling stations about 7 to 10 miles apart from each.

Upd: Not getting it, too much of a headache for the long term.

Beverly station not working

Hey everyone the fueling map says that the Beverly station is operational and has hydrogen but it doesn't. I drove there this morning around 6 and it was not working.

This car doesn’t come with GAP. FYI

So a little while ago I asked about default GAP insurance. As in, by default, on a purchase, without it being a costed option on your contract. I was told it does.

So I went and looked at my contract, and there’s no addendum. I also checked the GAP box, and it’s not marked. I called Toyota and spoke to the GAP claims people, and the total loss people, and both confirmed- this car doesn’t come with GAP. I called the dealership to ask, and neither of the two knew anything about it.

So, safe to say that with purchase- this car doesn’t come with GAP. Does anyone have any actual proof that it does, that we can find in writing?

Crashed my 2022 Mirai

I was on the freeway and someone changing into my lane without their blinker and at a very slow space while i was at 55 mph. Do you think it will get totaled since the car is worth so little? I know it has gap insurance but I want to know what would likely happen.

Any idea at all about an at-home fueling solution?

The H2 distribution network is too limited for me but I love the Mirai. Is there any option, at all, for me to set up an H2 re-fueling station at my home and ideally one with H2 generation via PEM electrolysis? Cost is not an issue. I would be willing to pay a laughable amount (e.g. $100k).

GM rolls out hydrogen-powered chargers for EVs in California wildfire response

Why not cut out the middle man and go straight for an FCEV?

"General Motors is stepping in to help those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, deploying mobile charging solutions – including hydrogen-powered generators – to keep displaced EV drivers on the move.

From February through April, GM will send a mix of charging stations across the L.A. metro area, focusing on locations where home charging is no longer an option.

Among them are three HYDROTEC mobile charging units, each capable of DC fast-charging two EVs at once, running on renewable hydrogen. These are still in the pilot phase, but they’re a glimpse of GM’s wider ambitions for hydrogen fuel cell tech.

The support package also includes"....

Any of you have a home Hydrogen station?

Is it worth it? How much did it cost to I stall and how much electricity does it take to fill the hydrogen tank in the car?

Is there a way to plug in the mirai to charge the battery for extra range?

I know that it does not come stock with a charging option, but is there any aftermarket option to do this?

Is Toyota getting out?

Looks like they’re trying to dump remaining inventory with the special deals they have. $35k off an XLE and $43k off a Limited. Did an inventory search and there are only 15 2024 Mirai in the whole of CA.

Is a Mirai a good option for a second car?

I have a 2010 car which runs fine, very tempted to get the 2022 Mirai Limited with the $15K fuel card. Thought about upgrading my car, but quality used cards are upwards of $20K.

I’d probably drive the Mirai full time, but if there’s hydrogen refueling issues I’d just use my other car. I don’t mind if this car only lasts as long as the fuel card/3 years, figured it would be a low risk experiment. I guess it would last longer if hydrogen prices come down or I just drive my 2010 more. (not counting on it and expecting no residual value). I feel it would prolong my 2010 for a little longer and get the opportunity to ride in a virtually new car.

Edit: I live near two fueling stations conveniently located near my house.

Any disagreements? Always wanted a Lexus, so it’s probably the closest I’d get to one.

Do all Mirai owners really feel this way? Has every experience really been as bad as these posts make it seem? New mirai owner located in OC, CA.

Any Canadians looking to buy a Mirai from California?

Hi,
Any Canadians here in the the Mirai subreddit looking to buy a Gen 2 Mirai. I have one that is 2022 White XLE 27 k miles and in nearly perfect condition clean title. I was wondering if anyone is interested in buying my car and importing into Canada as a private buyer and I as a private seller. No dealerships involved since they are not allowed to take foreign vehicles. I see Canada has good incentives and much cheaper prices of fuel compare than California $11 USD equivalent vs $36/kg. The car is great and rides amazing.
Please let me know here below or dm me.
Thank You

Mirai hydrogen fuel station in Sunnyvale CA

Hi, I am near Sunnyvale and thinking of buying a Mirai for weekend usage. How is the Sunnyvale fuel station? Is it crowded, run out of fuel frequently or is inoperative frequently?

I am looking at the next 2-3 years horizon.

Insurance gap

Today someone hit my car parked on the street. Dent and scratches on both doors and bottom panel on driver side. The driver’s door can’t open, probably due to a lock issue. There is a small crack in the front grill. Will the insurance write off my car? XLE 2022, I don’t think it comes with gap insurance. Please advise what you guys think is a good option for me to take. 4 years of payment left.

Anyone ripping the tanks and fuel cell out and re-purposing them?

I was noticing the price of an old used mirai is getting down below the price of a pair of powerwalls. Are there any DIY types popping the tanks and fuel cell out and building mini-off-grid setups yet?

Does Toyota provide credit for Toyota Mirai car loans due to Hydrogen Station shortage?

Hi, does anyone have any experience (or know someone that does) with asking for some sort of credit on the car loan? I have scrolled through here and seen that Toyota credited someone for 6 months while Hydrogen was down. This was a while back.

I have been in a rental since November 5th til current date due to lack of hydrogen in my area. I have been making payments on my 2023 Mirai Limited while simultaneously paying insurance on this new(er) vehicle. Not to mention registration. While I am happy they pay for a rental, I find it unfair that Im still paying for all of this. My rental is a tiny 2020 Toyota Corolla. I guess I would feel better driving around in a rental that is at least of equal value to what I’m paying for. I called Toyota financial services to ask for some sort of compensation for at least the car note for 1 of 3 months. They denied me and only offered an extension of payments.

Has anyone had any success with asking for credit or refunded car notes during the months of shortages? I am seriously so tired of this car. It’s been a living hell of endless problems. And if anyone has any info on class lawsuits I can join, please add that as well. I appreciate all the help I can get with this clunk of metal.

Near an evac zone I wondered: is a Mirai designed to burn in a massive fire and not explode like a hydrazine detonation?
