You'd better act fast though. Shell is permanently closing 6 of its 7 light-duty hydrogen fueling stations in Californy:

This apparently vexes current Mirai owners:

lol, you want people to buy hydrogen fuel cell cars?! Good Luck finding a charging (filling?) station. According to the 2nd article you cited, there’s only like 50 or so charging stations in the US and none in San Francisco! Further, as the article states, owners are “finding themselves driving to these hydrogen stations only to find them offline or out of order, sometimes for days while the station was waiting for a repair or even just a delivery of hydrogen.” Lol

If Toyota was serious, they should have done like Tesla and created their own charging/filling stations. Instead, they rely on the government or 3rd parties like Shell, who appear to have lost interest. Basically, hydrogen cars are a dead end.

Good Luck!
