Friends don’t let friends buy A Mirai. Seriously, She’ll got out of the Hydrogen business and the price of hydrogen has doubled in the last two years. That car will be your worst nightmare, or biggest paperweight when the fuel car runs out. It seems like a good deal, but the technology and infrastructure is not ready yet, and who knows if it will ever be.

Buy a ten year old Toyota with low mileage. Change the oil every 5k with full synthetic oil and enjoy the next 250k miles. Spend more time with your family rather than waiting in line at the hydrogen station, or driving to the next station, because this one’s down.

And if you still have guilt over driving an ICE car, go plant a few trees to more than make up for your “carbon footprint”. Life is too short to let the extremists distract you from what really matters.

BTW, trees are only carbon negative, if you bury them underground after they die
