I'd also like to know what prompted Mark to choose an FCEV over a BEV. I'm also curious as to whether he'd make the same choice today. BEVs have made significant advances in range and charging speed in just the last couple of years. I've read that Tesla has broken the 400 mile barrier, and that their superchargers are supposed to hit 300kW soon. I'm not a mindreader, but I suspect that Mark might feel heavily outnumbered here. Let's try to give him some space to state his reasons for his choice, in peace, without immediately jumping in to refute them. He may be the only person on this discussion list, or nearly so, to have bought an FCEV. But Toyota has sold about 8,400 Mirais since the car came out in 2015, so he's not alone. I think it's good for us to understand why an FCEV would be someone's choice, if only to consider how BEVs might counter their advantages both real and perceived, and win more buyers in the long run.
