Alternative fuels vehicles are very difficult to live with. I have a Tesla Model 3 with no home charging due to not being able to have home charging, and it is such a hassle. Tesla chargers are the best when it comes to EV charging but it's still rough compared to gas. Also, the savings vs. the amount of time you need to sit in the car is not worth it. It seems like the Hyrdro squad has it even worst. Good luck guys, I hope you're able to have more chargers/ refueling stations....

Toyota lied

10,000 psi makes real big pop good luck

Visiting a failed TH-cam channel

If your car gets into a very severe collision, does it blow up like the Hindenburg ?

So this wonder fuel that so many people are claiming will be the future is not only slower than using an electric vehicle charging infrastructure but also significantly more expensive and there is zero uptake of this. It doesn’t look like that will be fuel anyone uses anytime in the near future.

Wow, if only there was another vehicle type that was not only sustainable but cheap to fill up...

Use pounds in America

Its like an HP printer, you can get one cheap but you pay through the nose for the replacement cartridges

Just Ridiculously Stupid, Full Circle.

The Costa Mesa station is one of eight SoCal, gaseous supplied, True Zero stations that are labelled as "offline" as shown on H2FCP's station map. The status of these stations indicate that "... our supplier ... experienced a major service disruption..." The supplier is Linde in Ontario and is the reason that the stations are not open. The good news is, however, there is word (unofficial from H2FCP) that Linde should resume operation soon and the TZ stations should be opening in the next month or two. WRT the La Mirada station... La Mirada is one of six Iwatani stations that have been constructed but have yet to be fully opened. This is because the equipment installed is from Nel Hydrogen which has reported to be prone to failure. Iwatani is suing Nel for the faulty equipment and they have taken on the task of coming up with fixes and upgrades. They are currently using Corona and Seal Beach for those upgrades and are partially open. Until they have found reliable solutions, those six stations will not open.

Idea: Delve into why the station closed. Interview the operator, ask if it would be ok to put a recorded portion of that interview on your channel. I mean, at 2K subscribers, you are far from a nobody.

😮

In Germany it goes the exact opposite way - people are moving away from EVs and into all other kinds of vehicles. Hydrogen is the new hope/hype.

is $36/kg a lot? is it cheaper than gas?

The station in Torrance that was owned by Shell just got changed to Air Products. They opened today this morning until 1:00pm. Supposedly their first official grand opening day is next Monday.

LOL eagles fan. explains everything.

Even CNG would be better...

Do you think you can still negotiate a 2024 Mirai Limited less than $25,000?

That is a huge difference in price.

Whats the fuel cost per mile?

$7500 for addons? Lol. Longo Toyota has second series 2021+ Mirai for as low as eleven thousand dollars right now certified of course. In addition you can get a 30 percent federal tax credit if you make less than seventy five thousand dollars as a single Or less than $150,000 as a couple. So you can basically get the entire car for about $7,500 right now. It's sad because these are very well made cars like even the first series arrived was a solid car but either Toyota or somebody screwed up the hydrogen fueling to the point where they're basically worthless right now

Deja vu

Toyota sold 499 Mirai cars in 2024. That is down almost 82% from 2023. It is their worst selling vehicle by a factor of five. Yet, people still think Hydrogen is the future?

Your wheels definitely look good for sure.

"When you said "When a station goes down, it usually stays down" - that is alarming. Do more videos about other players in the Hydrogen space like you said. You're invested into this. We're invested! We need more people clamoring for Hydrogen to get the people with money in the pockets to move, IMHO.

How about title this video instead "No More Hydrogen Fuel at UCI Station?" You could actually rename it to that right now as you read this, as the creator. The title of this video is unduly alarming. yes, we know there's a crisis. but it is my hope that people like you who bought the Mirai be more of a champion for the Mirai, Toyota, and Hydrogen, instead of sensationalizing a headline to get more views.

lol at this point you should have gotten an ev 😅

$1.93 a mile my truck that gets 3 MPG where I live gets .82 a mile but my truck is a commercial vehicle 😂 it's around $145.80 to fill up and it get 180 miles a tank

can you just remove the hydrogen tank and replace it with additional batteries then convert it as BEV? (including the charging system)

Imagine when something breaks on this complex system.

Thanks for the update. Their statement that "the UCI Station will close due to inability to finalize an acceptable agreement with H2 supplier" is false. They are closing because the UCI hospital is taking over the property. Also, Iwatani is another hydrogen station developer. Because the equipment they are using has been notoriously bad (Nel Hydrogen is the OEM), Iwatani has had to develop fixes on their own. Though they have finished building six stations, only two are partially open: Seal Beach and Corona. Iwatani is currently charging about $30/kg.

EVs are better. The failure of hydrogen as a fuel for passenger cars has been obvious from the start. Hope Toyota and any other fuel cell vehicle manufacturers reimburse all of you who got scammed by their lies!

Time to switch soon? Ev

Really sad to see.

Day 1 of 2025, air products takes off UC Irvine h2 station for foreseeable future until they get their contract settles with supplier WOW. UNBELIEVABLE! Is this a forshadowment for the entire industry of hydrogen light duty stations? Thank goodness I sold my Toyota Mirai almost a year ago! Good riddance. Love the videos man. Keep it up

The UCI station is now closed as of 1/1/25.

Why?

My Tesla costs ¢6/mile with grid electricity in California

Bad news for UCI: "Effective 1 Jan. 2025, the UCI Station will close due to inability to finalize an acceptable agreement with H2 supplier. We thank all who have supported over the 22 years, during which the hydrogen economy blossomed and invaluable research was conducted."

And just think, most Hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels 🤯

Seems like you could have saved time and precious fuel if you had checked the status beforehand, like you did after arriving at the first station 😜

Could this be the lawsuit that breaks Toyota? Like the lawsuit that broke VW and forced them to establish electrify Anerica ?

So these cars are wack...don't purchase a hydrogen car

Bro Longo Toyota has a 2022 white Mirai exactly like yours for $12,000 listed and that's a certified and with a 15,000 gas card so new tires all the good stuff. So there's no way you're getting $9,000 for your car when you trade it in. Dealers buy these from auto auctions and currently they're selling for like $3,000 at the auctions and you know dealers aren't stupid so there's no way you're going to pull one over on them. You might be able to find some sucker in the private sector to pay you $9,000 for that but then you'd have the guilt of ripping them off. You need to do a video on this and correct your error

Where do they get the Hydrogen from? Using electricity to separate water molecules into Hydrogen and oxygen. So why not use that same electric to power and EV? 🙄

130.00 gets me over 600 miles on a diesel truck..😂😂😂

Better than EV but for the price premium gas wins in BMW, more power and half price of what you paid, at least in Chicago. But great video, first time I've seen someone charging hydrogen. Thanks!

$83.00? Are you kidding me? Where do you live?

$130 for a mid sized 4 door to only go 330 miles with the ac on. That's as bad as my Ford F-350 four-door long wheel base 4x4 pickup pulling a 24-foot camper. It makes my 5.0L Coyote look like a gas milage car.
