Five years ago, major auto shows were dominated by unveilings of battery electric vehicles. Carmakers that had new plug-in models and concepts to show were considered in the vanguard, and those without them were left scrambling to shoehorn a battery pack in any existing model. Now that electric cars are on the road, and selling at relatively steady rates, it appears that the magic words in auto show marketing has become: hydrogen fuel cell.
The biggest green car news at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show came this week, prior to the show’s opening, from Toyota, where it unveiled the Mirai fuel cell sedan at a Newport Beach media event. “Mirai” means future in Japanese. The vehicle with 300 miles of range will become available in California in fall 2015. Toyota estimates that there will be 200 Mirai drivers on U.S. roads by the end of 2015, and cumulatively 3,000 by the end of 2017.
