Anyone wanna play with a fuel cell? Only $10K right now, perfectly clean.

(TBH someone could likely yank all the fuel cell parts and do a full EV swap on it)

Could make for a good, $10,000+ learning experience. laugh.

I've driven a 2022 Mirai - it was more plush than sporty feeling, but still nice.

Aint it? And it's huge, and I think as long as a modern truck. Like, how much space is taken up by the fuel stack and the pressurized hydrogen tanks?

There's someone here on GRM (I forget the username, it's long and starts with M I think) who has made good money buying these cheap in CA and shipping them to people with private hydrogen farms in Texas. 

I know there's one in a salvage yard near High Plains Raceway in CO, because a Lemons team stole some parts off it to fix an old racing pickup truck.

Dude, I want parts off that thing! Would it still have motors left, or would the yard have taken them already?

You now know everything I know. The race was at HPR, they found a Mirai in a local junkyard. I'm 5 hours from there :)

In reply to Keith Tanner :

mr2s2000elise or whatever his username is. He makes good money off of Toyotas, he knows his E36 M3.

Not many filling stations, there are a couple around here because Toyota headquarters was nearby before they moved to Texas,

You can call your large bottled gas supplier and see if they have local refueling. Surprisingly we have it close by with a Linde terminal that supports an R&D bus program.

You'll need to log in to post.
