What Is A Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle?

The fuel cell electric vehicle features hydrogen fuel tanks (the hydrogen is a compressed gas, similar to Natural Gas in a Natural Gas vehicle), an electric motor, a battery and a power control unit. The hydrogen gas is fed into the fuel cell stack where it is combined with oxygen from the ambient air. Together, the hydrogen and oxygen create an electrochemical reaction, producing electricity that is used to power the vehicle with a byproduct of water. Just as with the gasoline engine and battery in the Toyota Prius, the power control unit in the fuel cell decides when the vehicle should be powered by fuel cell stack and when the battery should assist for maximum efficiency. The fuel cell utilizes similar hybrid technology logic developed for our hybrid synergy drive systems with the gasoline engine replaced by a fuel cell stack.

What Are The Features?

Toyota’s small, lightweight FC stack and hydrogen tanks are located under the floor of the vehicle, ensuring sufficient cabin space for four people. The vehicle's exterior design evokes two key characteristics of a fuel cell electric vehicle: the transformation of air into water as the system produces electricity, and the powerful acceleration enabled by the electric drive motor. The bold front view features pronounced air intakes, while the sleek side view conveys the air-to-water transformation with its flowing-liquid door profile and wave-motif fuel cap. The theme carries to the rear view, which conveys a catamaran's stern and the flow of water behind. Mirai’s design is meant to convey uncluttered, open and seamless space, soft-touch and contrasting textures and surprising refinements.

Features include:

• Extremely quiet interior with acoustic noise-reducing glass for the windshield, driver-side and front-passenger-side windows
• 8-way power-heated Softex front seats with power lumbar; heated rear seats
• Heated power tilt and telescoping steering wheel with multifunction controls
• Intelligent Touch controls for climate and audio
• Premium audio system with Integrated Navigation, JBL and Entune App Suite
• Luxurious and comfortable interior

What Are The Emissions?

The hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle produces only water as the by-product out of the tailpipe. It has been certified as a Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) by the respective State's Air Resources Board.

What Is The Range Of The Vehicle?

Mirai has an EPA-estimated driving range of 312 miles and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 67 MPGe.

The EPA ratings are estimates and your range and mileage will vary. Many factors can affect fuel economy (FE), including but not limited to load condition, weather, A/C, driving behavior, vehicle and road conditions, and percent state of charge (SOC) at fill-up.

To improve FE, consider the following:
1. Smoothness. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking. Brake gently over a long distance.
2. Engage Eco-drive Mode. Press eco-drive button to optimize FE.
3. Limit High Power Driving. As for all cars, fuel cell electric vehicles use more fuel at high speed or in steep uphill trips.
4. Follow Dashboard FC indicator. Maintain the fuel cell indicator in “ECO” area on display.
5. Manage Air Conditioning. Use A/C only when needed and select air recirculation mode, or switch Fast-Eco A/C, keep windows closed.
6. Check Tire Pressure. Low tire pressure can impact fuel economy.
7. Remove Unnecessary Luggage. Avoid excess weight and cargo.

What Is The City/Hwy/Combined EPA Estimated Fuel Economy?

Mirai boasts an EPA estimated miles per gasoline equivalent (MPGe) of 67 MPGe city, 67 MPGe hwy, and 67 MPGe combined. Of course, the mileage any driver will get will depend on their driving habits, among other factors.

Is Mirai safe?

Our engineers have designed Mirai’s fuel system to minimize the chance of a leak. In the rare event of a leak, there are systems in place to detect the leak and shut off the flow of hydrogen and to prevent leaks from accumulating.

The frame is designed to distribute crash forces efficiently throughout the vehicle frame and numerous components and materials, reducing cabin deformity to protect vehicle occupants and minimizing body deformation around the fuel cell stack and high-pressure hydrogen tanks. Standard onboard active safety technologies include:

• Vehicle Pre-Collision
• Blind Spot Monitor
• Lane Departure Alert
• Drive Start Control
• Automatic Standard High Beams.

Mirai also has a set of Standard passive safety systems which include, impact-absorbing structures in the hood and cowl, and eight Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags.

What Is The Risk Of A Hydrogen Powered Vehicle Exploding?

Hydrogen has many positive safety aspects, from a vehicle fuel perspective:
1) It’s lighter than air and disperses quickly clearing the fuel from the area of the vehicle.
2) If there is an ignition source that lights the gas on fire, the gas will “flare” very quickly into the air, which is beneficial because it removes the fuel rapidly reducing time to cause damage or harm.

In the case of Mirai, the Toyota-designed carbon fiber reinforced hydrogen tanks have undergone extreme testing, including being shot with high caliber bullets, to ensure their durability in a crash. In fact, during testing, engineers had to move to high caliber bullets in their efforts to puncture the tanks to help determine the force they can take. In the event of a major accident, there are multiple safety systems in place to protect the tanks and overall vehicle.

What Is Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is a domestic fuel and can be locally sourced. It provides a high energy storage density compared to current battery technologies (NiMH and Li-ion) which allows for long range and fast refills, and just like electricity, it can be manufactured using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and biogas from landfill.

How Do I Fuel The Car?

A hydrogen dispenser looks like a gasoline dispenser. Most dispensers have two hoses one for H35 (half fill in Mirai) and one for H70 (full fill in Mirai). Putting hydrogen into a fuel tank is similar to dispensing CNG or filling a propane tank and sounds like filling a tire with air. The driver connects the nozzle to the vehicle’s receptacle and engages the nozzle’s lock to form a tight seal. The station then performs a system check and afterward the fuel begins to flow. When the tank is full the dispenser stops, and you unlock the nozzle and place back on the pump just like with gasoline. Filling the tank takes about as long as a gasoline tank (up to 5 minutes depending on how much fuel is needed). In addition, our Authorized Toyota Mirai Dealers can assist you with learning how to fuel a Mirai.

Where Is My Nearest Fueling Station?

For a full list of Mirai ready stations check out the Fuel Station Map.

Can I Fuel At Any Hydrogen Station?

No. Mirai is a hydrogen-powered vehicle that must be fueled at a hydrogen station conforming with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) fueling interface protocols, or government regulations that may supersede such SAE protocols. For your ease, please refer to toyota.com/mirai/stations.html for a full list of stations that are in conformance. FAILURE TO FUEL WITH HYDROGEN AT A HYDROGEN FUELING STATION THAT CONFORMS TO THE SAE FUELING INTERFACE PROTOCOLS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.

What If My Most Convenient Fuel Station Is Not Constructed On Time?

We will provide you with the most up-to-date information available on fuel station construction. Please refer to the Stations Page to find updates on stations in your area. If your local station is delayed, we will inform you regarding fuel station updates.

How Much Will Fuel Cost?

Refueling costs will depend on the cost of hydrogen at each refueling station. Different technologies are used to produce hydrogen, each with a different cost, and stations set their own price accordingly. While prices have been as low as $10 per kilogram (Kg), typically, prices have been in the range of $12 - $17/Kg. Costs are expected to lower as infrastructure continues to develop. To support our customers, Toyota is providing complimentary hydrogen fuel for three years, or $15,000 maximum, whichever comes first. Limitations may apply. Visit toyota.com/mirai/ownership-experience.html or visit your Authorized Toyota Mirai Dealer for details.

How Much Complimentary Fuel* Do I Get On My Fuel Card?

Mirai vehicle owners will receive complimentary hydrogen fuel for three years, or $15,000 maximum, whichever comes first. The fuel program starts after receipt and activation of fuel card; fuel card is nontransferable. Fueling must be done at approved SAE certified stations. Limitations may apply.

*Complimentary fuel for three years or $15,000 maximum, whichever comes first. The three-year period starts on the date of card activation or 90 days after vehicle sale or lease commencement date, whichever is earlier. Fuel card is nontransferable. Mirai is a hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicle that must be fueled at hydrogen stations conforming to the latest SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS (SAE) hydrogen fueling interface protocol standards or laws that may supersede such SAE standards. Refer to Mirai Hydrogen Stations Locator App in Entune, toyota.com/entune/, or call Toyota customer service at 800-331-4331 for information on hydrogen fueling stations available to Mirai.

Will I Save Money On Gas?

It depends. We anticipate that as the infrastructure continues to grow the cost of hydrogen will continue to decrease. Hydrogen is a domestic fuel and can be locally sourced and manufactured in a cost-effective way.

Can I Use My Credit Card To Buy Fuel?

Yes, all the retail SAE hydrogen stations will support credit card purchases for fuel.

How Long Does It Take To Fill Up?

Approximately 5 minutes to fill up from empty. Shorter if you need less fuel just like refueling a gasoline vehicle.

What If I Run Out Of Fuel?

The 360 Ownership Experience which is complimentary with every vehicle will provide enhanced roadside assistance to help get you to the nearest fueling station in an emergency.

Can I See And Test Drive The Vehicle Before I Lease/Purchase?

You can test drive Mirai at an Authorized Toyota Mirai Dealer near you.

Can I Buy A Car If I Live Outside CA?

At this time, the vehicle must be registered within the state of either California or Hawaii. Infrastructure is not yet ready to support sales outside of these two states, but Toyota will continue to support expansion of fueling stations, beginning with the northeast states. As infrastructure develops further, we will consider other areas.
