As we reported next year, fuel cell vehicle owners in California are being extremely vocal about the problems they are having accessing hydrogen to fuel their cars, with many hydrogen fuelling stations inoperable. This is obviously a problem for Toyota upon the launch of their Mirai, however in a recent interview Toyota's Craig Scott notes that "there's still a lot of development work that needs to occur" on a hydrogen fuelling infrastructure, and that while it's "vastly improved this year," its development is "still lagging." He then explained that Toyota expects 10 to 15 stations "open and ready" by the end of the year (and capable of fuelling the Mirai), with another 20 to open last Friday.
