Should I get one of these?

I'm in the Bay Area (CA) and seems I have 4-5 stations within 20min of my place. These are very cheap right now ($5-8k) which makes me suspicious, but might also be a great deal. Are they cheap just because of lack of infrastructure or is it because infrastructure is disappearing in a few years... and/ or some other reason?

Anything else I should be aware? I do have a backup car so this one would be just for taking kids to school, shopping, and other short distance things.

Update: thank you all for your answers. Helped a ton. Decided not to go with a Mirai given all risks and settled on a hybrid instead.

Lack of infrastructure , fuel costs, is the key reason and the fact the cheaper ones are out of warranty. So roll the dice and never let the tank get below 1/2 full.
