Testing Toyota’s Failing Hydrogen Car

1. Great video, thanks for sharing!

2. i prefer my tesla

3. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a tank full of distilled water, then take a small amount using electrolysis and convert it to the exact amount of fuel you car needs in the moment so your not storing very much dangerous combustible liquid

4. I think hydrogen energy should be widely inovated on. It could become smt amazing and you can literally make your own fuel

5. ❤❤

6. I do feel like if the hydrogen fuel cell just produces electricity to power the motor anyway it does make more sense just to do a full EV

7. 14:50 I'll preface with "I haven't heard them talk about EVs yet." But apply the same logic from Grey Hydrogen to EVs.

8. "EV has 90% efficiency"
   basically yes, but not really? An EV is 90% at turning electricity into mechanical work. The Mirai is also probably 90% efficient at turning electricity into work, it just has another component that is less efficient at being an electric power plant than an actual power plant. (I hope the power plant is better anyway)

9. Toyota doing anything but making electric vehicles 😭🙏

10. Tissue repair with water; by using water's memory, you can create the medicinal effect of any molecule you want. In the future, we may be able to program the water in our bodies like medicine, without side effects on the kidneys and liver. We must also utilize water's destructive, constructive, reparative, and physical repair properties… that's why science exists

11. You oil barons, with just water, a catalyst, and a piezoelectric separator, water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen with less energy. I think you shouldn't go back to oil instead of alternative water when you say hydrogen is expensive; 0.78 cents per kilometer is just the price of water.

12. Using fuel to make electricity to make solar panels to make electricity to make hydrogen to make electricity. If only we could skip all of those steps and find a better way

13. My wife has Hydrogen Peroxide in her hair, and she can natter in my ear forever.

14. Of course, id a failing car.. where are their hydrogen filling stations prevalent?
    Not a single one in the part of Florida I live in

15. Hydrogen cars are the future of mobility ❤❤

16. So you use electricity to make hydrogen and then use that hydrogen to make electricity 🤣🤣🤣🤣

17. Feel like y’all are describing California when describing this vehicle. They both suck.

18. I really was hoping that hydrogen ev car could work cause combine it with great infra and green hydrogen production, it is the future to a sustainable and clean energy for car. We use cars a lot aren't we. Normal ev I'm afraid will become like phone where it is mostly disposable once used up beyond repair.

19. Hydrogen is just a bad choice. It needs to be ethanol. Which solves fuel transport, storage and distribution problem.

21. Here’s why I think Hydrogen cars in this manner will never be mainstream. Every system has inefficiencies it’s impossible to be 100%. You’re gonna lose something somewhere no matter how hard you try. How do you make hydrogen? Electrolysis or I’m sure there’s some filter they can use to pull it from the atmosphere but either way that takes electricity where your loosing energy . Then you put it in your car. To turn it back to electricity? With more inefficiencies? Why not just use electric and cut out the whole set of inefficiencies not to mention the potential danger in the event of a car fire. Never made any sense to me

22. I was taught by an old guy who sold mattresses named crazy Hal how to make a hydrogen fuel cell to put on a car he used an old F100 to deliver mattresses between Riverside and Los Angeles when he would attach it we did not really ever stop for gas if he took it of we would stop a couple times a day not suré the exact mpg but I soon made one and added it to my '89 E30

23. I saw a Hyundai Nexo for sale in my state for pennies on the dollar. It was only a year old and barely had any miles. A lack of infrastructure will kill an entire car's sales

24. Down seventy percent from what? If you don't live in california you don't know anyone who bought one

25. It's an EV that generates the electricity on the fly. Might as well just have hydrogen fueled cells in a charging station, it would be literally the same thing

26. Hoping for Hydrogen vehicles in the future at some point especially if ev battery tech doesn't get better

27. 1: Current engine technology does not need to be scrapped to make overly complicated "Hydrogen Fuel Cells". All Gasoline motors can be converted to run off Hydrogen with a few tweaks to the injectors, intakes, and fuel mapping.
    2. I can understand for right now that the BEST that they can do is fill them with Hydrogen from Hydrogen filling stations… but what they NEED to work on is a car that can fill up on water, and convert the water to Hydrogen on demand for the engine.

28. Didn’t happen yet* hydrogen is the energy of the future. Lack of infrastructure, cost of production and public policy is holding it down. These cars will be SUPER reliable and be completely emissions free and the process fuel cells implement is actually pretty straightforward and easy to understand. Timing is extremely important and frankly they were too quick to pull the trigger.

29. My opinion is hydrogen isnt working because they are going against the oil companies and the electric companies .. they dont want it to win

30. This 2nd gen one actually looks really nice in my opinion. It does seem like a likely technology in the future….assuming we have a future. Honda is making a plug-in fuel cell CR-V, which seems like an interesting combination

31. If I have to transition it would be gas – Hydrogen, I'll skip the electric… I take Hydrogen car when it's infrastructure is available everywhere in the county.

32. Too many big words Jerry, im lost out here

33. Toyota should refurbish the Mirais they bought back into hybrids, PHEVs, or BEVs

34. Just like electric, the car is there, the infrastructure is not. This would have made sense, back when an EV could only go 80-120 miles. Batteries have now improved to the point, that even entry level EV's can achieve well over 250 miles on a charge. The range advantage is gone. This does "charge" faster than EV's, but they're getting better all the time. It's getting easier to find a charge station for EV's than Hydrogen, especially out of state. The biggest thing: COST! The future belongs to the most economical. I pay 12 cents per kWh for electricity at home. My EV gets ~4 miles per kWh. That's 3 Cents per mile. I pay 3 dollars, 25 Cents per gallon of gas. My combustion car gets 30 miles per gallon. That's 9.23 Cents per mile, just over 3 X more expensive. DC fast charging is more expensive, but still slightly less than gas, but prices fluctuate wildly between charge point companies. Hydrogen? over 6.5X more expensive than gas, more than 20 X more expensive than me charging at home, per mile. I just couldn't afford the Hydrogen to drive this thing, if you GAVE the car to me!
