The car we're talking about today is the second-generation Toyota Mirai (pictured). Toyota Mirai's second-generation hydrogen energy vehicle comes from the same platform as the Lexus LS, and the maximum cruising range has reached 850 kilometers. The appearance of the new Toyota Mirai is avant-garde, the interior is exquisite and atmospheric, the length of the car is nearly 5 meters, the wheelbase is nearly 3 meters, and the sense of luxury grade is very luxurious; the driving experience is basically the same as that of pure electric models, but the power is average!
Although hydrogen fuel vehicles are called hydrogen fuel, they are still electric vehicles in essence, but the source of power is hydrogen fuel cells. The lack of complete and mature supporting hydrogen energy vehicles is the fundamental problem. In addition, how does the cost of using a car compare to that of a tram? The current method of mass production of hydrogen is still mainly fossil fuel manufacturing. The domestic Anting hydrogen refueling station has been 70 yuan per kilogram of hydrogen and has been losing money. According to the price after the subsidy, 5.6 kg plus 400 yuan once, the endurance of 850 kilometers, because the essence is still the motor drive 30% off, equivalent to 400 yuan to run 600 kilometers.
Turning to the interior, it confirms the universal view that things from different angles will get different results. If you want to use new energy to symbolize the future, science fiction to look at the interior of the new mirai, it is indeed not interesting. But if you look at it from the perspective of Toyota models, then the interior of the new Mirai will make your eyes shine.
For example, the large-size spindle grille on the front face will remind you of the new Camry and the shadow of the Asian dragon? Although the obvious familial features lack visual impact, it is also a good idea to look familiar.
At present, the new energy vehicles that can be commonly used worldwide are roughly divided into battery-equipped pure electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), extended-range electric vehicles (EREV), and hybrid vehicles (HEVs). Among them, PHEV, EREV and HEV still cannot escape the dependence on fuel. In a future where fuel cars are likely to disappear, these three can play a perfect transitional role, but in the long run, it seems difficult to have a bright future. Pure electric vehicles have encountered huge bottlenecks on the road to development because of the problem of long charging time.
