Toyota’s plans to build a hydrogen-based society

#Hydrogen #Cars are another matter. #Toyota launched its first fuel cell vehicle, the Mirai, in late 2014. To reach its 30,000 annual sales goal by 2020 it will have to increase production volume tenfold from 2017. The car, which the #EPA says has a 312-mile range, will debut in the #US market (just #California) this fall. Even if customer demand for the fuel cell vehicle tops expectations, sales will likely remain sluggish until infrastructure problems are solved. There are only 12 public #HydrogenFuelStations in the #UnitedStates, according to the #DepartmentOfEnergy. Ten of those are in California, making it the only feasible market in the U.S. for #HydrogenCars.
