Yeah, you're doing it again, assuming there is California, and forgetting Europe where Toyota sells these cars because of more stringent emission standards and high taxes on internal combustion engines.
Doing what again- answering the question the poster asked?
The post to which I was replying said "Don't know about the US"
So I informed them about the US.
Where it's only sold in CA.
And specifically in just a couple of markets (basically SF and LA) because that's where virtually all of the fueling stations in the entire country are. (there's also like 1 random one in lake tahoe, 1 random one north of San Diego, and 1 random one around Sacramento... plus one in between SF and LA-- the others are all in the SF area (13 of em IIRC) and the LA area (almost 2 dozen of them)
So they're not really sold- nor would they be especially useful since there's be no place to refuel them- anywhere it gets below freezing on any regular basis.
Or
at all in the last 30+ years for the 2 major markets in CA- as cited with actual weather data.
As to the EU, as another poster pointed out, the # sold there is pretty tiny compared to the US- and even US sales are pretty tiny.
It's a weird compliance car Toyota has to routinely give away $15,000 fuel cars in the US to get anyone to take off their hands, since unlike an EV you
legit can not take a long road trip with one outside of basically the SD-LA-SF corridor, given there's no place to fuel just about anywhere else in the US.
Oh, and what should be the last word on the temp nonsense... the exhaust water on the mirai is coming out at 140 degrees F.
That's a bit above freezing. Even in Norway
It's a terrible way to fuel a vehicle, but not because OMG ICE EXHAUST.
