It's been a difficult month with our Mirai-not because of the car, which remains comfortable and reliable, but because of the hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The network is still being developed, and more hydrogen-powered cars are pouring onto California roads every day. That all finally came to a head. It started when several of the nearby stations went offline. No problem-we start thinking about fueling when the car is down to 100 miles range so we have a comfortable cushion. But this week, there were problems with most of the stations in our corner of Los Angeles. That meant more cars descending upon the stations that were working, which in turn caused those stations to either run out of fuel or drop from exhaustion. With heavy usage, the stations don't have time to repressurize. They simply can't cope with such high demand.
