As previously reported , American sales of Toyota ’s fuel cell vehicle , the Mirai , are currently limited to California , as it is the only state boasting any hydrogen charging infrastructure . Toyota will work with a customer who is employed, rather than lives, near an open station, Lentz says. However , now we learn that Toyota is asking eight Californian dealerships to slow down on Mirai sales due to lack of available charging stations . Jim Lentz , Toyota Motor North America 's CEO , revealed at the Detroit Auto Show that he has asked Toyota to hold off on deliveries until the situation is resolved , he was , however , keen to emphasise this does not require a stop - sale order . While Toyota previously said it hoped to have 48 operational stations in California by the end of 2015 , information released by the California Fuel - Cell Partnership shows that there are 43 stations in various stages of construction , with some still only in the permitting process .
