hydrogen has many drawbacks

 

Practically the only H2 Fuel Cell car you can buy now is the Toyota Mirai which launched in 2021 and cost $70,000.

 

"If you’re a resident of Southern California, you can, today, buy a new Toyota Mirai for $17,005. That makes it the cheapest new car in the U.S.

Oh, and did we mention that Toyota is also offering $15,000 of free fuel?"

Quoted by Toyota dealer and then measured over four months since when we got the car. average spend over four month on petrol 600Baht a month the CRV was over baht 2000 a month

 

I just looked it up as well:

The fuel efficiency of a 1.5L Toyota Yaris Hybrid depends on driving conditions, but you can expect the following:

 City driving: 25-30 km/L (due to more electric motor use)

 Highway driving: 20-25 km/L (less electric assist, more engine use)

 Combined: 22-28 km/L

Over that combined 22-28 km, how much electricity would typically be consumed?
