About The Mirai
What is the Mirai?
The Toyota Mirai is a revolutionary new sedan powered by hydrogen. The engine of the Mirai converts hydrogen into electricity to power an electric motor.
Performance equal to petrol fueled vehicles
The vehicle has the performance equal to that of similar sized sedans, as the specifications below show. It can travel 400 miles before needing refueling, and has a top speed of around 110 mph. Its price, at around $60,000, is comparable to other luxury sedans, including hybrid and battery powered electical vehicles.
Easy to refuel
In California there are currently 69, and increasing, hydrogen fuel stations spread throughout the state, with a number of other stations spread throughout the country. The location of the Californian stations is shown on the fuel stations page.
Environmentally friendly
The Mirai is perfect for consumers who really care about the environment and want to do their part in reducing America's greenhouse gas emissions. It releases zero greenhouse gas emissions. Its only emission is water.
Advantages over electric vehicles
A fully fueled Mirai can travel 400 miles before needed to be refuled, and only takes five minutes to refuel, unlike battery run electric vehicles that have much less milage between recharges and takes 75 minutes to fully recharge at a charging station.
Safe
Hydrogen fuel tanks have many safety features, like alarms, seal valves and seal fuel lines to manage any potential leaks. In fact, there’s significantly more energy and explosive potential in a gasoline fuel tank than in a hydrogen cell fuel tank.
