5. work as a fuel?
● As the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen
won’t be going anywhere soon
● Much more accessible than gas, more efficient to extract it
from other resources like water and plants
● Steps:
o Hydrogen gas travels to carbon-fiber fuel tanks
o Outside air enters gas tank
o Gas travels to fuel stack, undergoes a chemical reaction,
and electricity is eventually created
o Electricity is sent to the motor to push the car forward
when you press on the pedal

6. Emissions
● By-product of chemical reaction is H20. So
Just clean, potable water comes from the
tailpipe. But drinking it is “not recommended”

7. Reliability
● Over millions of miles driven in testing the
Mirai
● The technology isn’t completely new. The
fuel stack where the chemical reaction takes
place has been used in submarines
● Fueling takes 5 minutes for 300 miles
● Fueling stations are extremely rare...

8. Technology
● Aerodynamic, futuristic styling
● Touchscreen
● Heated seats and steering wheel
● MSRP: $57,500
o With tax incentives, $44,500
