https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/toyota-mirai-sales-figures-usa-canada-monthly-yearly/ I think there is no future for this car, or this technology. It is too late. It will never compete with electric cars. I think the hybrid and plug-in hybrid are also obsolescent. Toyota put all the Prius patents into the public domain because they are hoping other companies buy hybrid engine parts from Toyota. They want to cash in on the technology now, before it goes away. Hydrogen vehicles might have been a good idea at some point. They might have made sense. But, improvements to batteries put electric vehicles ahead of them. There is generally only room in a market for two viable technologies at a time: gasoline and electric; PC or Mac computer. Once a technology falls into third place or fourth place, it seldom recovers.
