Yes, but with only 11 hydrogen stations in the UK, I doubt many will
be queuing-up to buy a mirai ...

Hence the comment about appropriate infrastructure. It would only take
one oil company to get behind it and deploy at a proportion of their
existing filling stations for that situation to change dramatically. One
may decide its a way for them to stay relevant and part of the supply
chain in an electric driven future.

Why on earth would they do that?

They are primary energy companies.
Hydrogen is secondary energy, and its a bitch to handle =- weher are
they goiung to buy it from amyway?

Its the same as a battery. You need primary energy to charge your
hydrogen tanks.

Probably by electrolysing water using grid electricity from coaal and
gat power staions.



While Toyota are unique in prioritising HFCELL over battery only EVs (in
fact I am not sure they even have any battery only EVs?), quite a number
of other makers are considering a move into the market as a hedge
against the looming supply constraints on EV batteries.

*shrug* guess what. whatever the future holds it wont be what is in your
marketing drivel.
