Toyota's Mirai Now Gives Excellent Driving Range

Toyota's latest car meets what Tesla provides to its customers.

Toyota Motor Corporation is the giant in the automotive industry. The company is still one of the most dominant forces in the sector and has also leaded the market for a very long time. There was an ongoing battle between Toyota and Tesla where Tesla was providing a more better mile range than Toyota. The executives of the company previously explained that the time of electric battery cars is almost over and they cannot survive in the real world. As for the hydrogen-fueled vehicles are concerned, the future is dependent on them.

The company’s latest launch, Toyota Mirai, has surpassed the agreements after it announced that its car can give a 312 miles of driving range on a single hydrogen tank. These agreements have been surpassed in California. According to sources, it is quite convincing that Toyota Mirai can now be driven 312 miles on a single hydrogen tank. Stock Transcript reports “It is a convincing figure that an EPA-estimated 67 miles each gallon equal to that which drives the series of the Toyota Mirai past every other zero-emissions car on the market, counting the all-electric Tesla Model S P85 D.”

Regardless of its exceptional new driving range, the latest car possibly encounters a ‘crippling’ setup challenge. The Energy department revealed that only 12 hydrogen fuel stations are open to public in the whole United States and this might create problems for the car owners. Furthermore, 10 out of those 12 are based in California only. Hence, this could be the only reason as to why Toyota has sweeten the deal for possible buyers to 1.97 percent.

The company has vowed that the Toyota Mirai owners will receive free fuel for three years or fuel worth of $15,000. But this does not meet or come close to what Tesla Motors provide to its customers. The owners of Tesla’s cars will be provided with free fuel for life from more than 425 supercharger stations installed throughout the world. Furthermore, in order to do long distance travelling, there are more than 9,937 electric charging stations in the US and 2,200 only in California.

According to the Toyota's website, “Toyota has plans to create 46 hydrogen fueling stations in California. This demonstrates that the initial purchaser of Toyota Mirai will possibly fit the classic early-adopter frame. In other words, this is not a vehicle for a timid technophobe. Toyota has taken a lot of flack for its goals of the hydrogen car.”
