Toyota Mirai

The Mirai is based on the Toyota FCV-R (Fuel Cell Vehicle) concept car, which was unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and the Toyota FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) concept car, which was unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. The unveiled FCV concept was a bright blue sedan shaped like a drop of water "to emphasize that water is the only substance that hydrogen-powered cars emit from their tailpipes." The FCV has a large grille and other openings to allow cooling air and oxygen intake for use by the fuel cell. According to Toyota, the FCV concept is close in appearance to the expected production version of the car.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/21/business/international/toyota-unveils-fuel-cell-concept-automobile.html?|title=Toyota Shows Off Fuel-Cell Automobile|author=Eric Pfanner|work=The New York Times|date=2013-11-20|access-date=2014-11-18}} The FCV size is similar to the Camry.{{cite web| url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-25/toyota-to-offer-69-000-car-as-musk-pans-fool-cells-.html/|title=Toyota to Offer $69,000 Car After Musk Pans 'Fool Cells'|website=Bloomberg News |date=2014-06-25 |access-date=2014-06-27}} The FCV range is expected to be approximately {{Convert|700|km|abbr=on}} under Japan's JC08 test cycle.{{cite press release |url=http://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/download/3332962|title=Toyota's Approach to Fuel Cell Vehicles|date=2014-06-25|access-date=2014-06-27|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140629151703/http://newsroom.toyota.co.jp/en/download/3332962|archive-date=2014-06-29}}

According to Toyota, the FCV features a fuel cell system with an output power density of 3.0 kW/L, which is twice as high as that of its previous fuel cell concept, the Toyota FCHV-adv, delivering an output power of more than 100 kW, despite significant unit downsizing. The FCV uses Toyota's proprietary, small, light-weight fuel cell stack and two 70 MPa high-pressure hydrogen tanks placed beneath the specially designed body. The Toyota FCV concept can accommodate up to four occupants. For the full-scale market launch in 2015, the cost of the fuel cell system is expected to be 95% lower than that of the 2008 Toyota FCHV-adv.{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2014/03/20140311-fcv.html|title=Toyota continues to prepare the market for fuel cell vehicle in 2015|author=Mike Millikin|publisher=Green Car Congress|date=2014-03-11|access-date=2014-11-18}}

The FCV concept also uses portions of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology including the electric motor, power control unit and other parts and components from its hybrid vehicles to improve reliability and minimize cost. The hybrid technology is also used to work together with the fuel cell. At low speeds such as city driving, the FCV runs just like any all-electric car by using the energy stored in its battery, which is charged through regenerative braking. At higher speeds, the hydrogen fuel cell alone powers the electric motor. When more power is needed, for example during sudden acceleration, the battery supports the fuel cell system as both work together to provide propulsion.{{cite web|url=http://www.toyota-europe.com/world-of-toyota/environmental-technology/fuel-cell-technology.json|title=Fuel Cell Technology - Another step towards sustainable mobility|author=Toyota Europe |publisher=Toyota Europe|access-date=2014-11-18}}

In June 2014, Toyota showcased an FCV with an exterior design close to production, announced details about pricing in Japan, and set a domestic market launch before April 2015, with initial sales limited to regions where hydrogen refueling infrastructure is being developed.{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2014/06/20140625-fcv.html|title=Toyota to launch its fuel cell vehicle in Japan before April 2015, priced around $68,700; reveals exterior |author=Mike Millikin |publisher=Green Car Congress|date=2014-06-25|access-date=2014-11-17}}

The Mirai uses the Toyota Fuel Cell System (TFCS), which features both fuel cell technology and hybrid technology, and includes proprietary Toyota-developed components including the fuel cell (FC) stack, FC boost converter, and high-pressure hydrogen tanks. The TFCS is more energy-efficient than internal combustion engines{{clarify|date=October 2015}} and emits no {{CO2|link=yes}} at the point of operation or substances of concern (SOCs) when driven. The system accelerates Mirai from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 9.0 seconds and delivers a passing time of 3 seconds from {{convert|25|to|40|mph|abbr=on|order=flip|0}}. The Mirai refueling takes between 3 and 5 minutes, and Toyota expected a total range of {{Convert|300|mi|km|abbr=in|order=flip}} on a full tank. The Mirai has a button labeled {{H2O}} that opens a gate at the rear, dumping the water vapor that forms from the hydrogen-oxygen reaction in the fuel cell.{{cite web|url=http://www.cnet.com/products/2016-toyota-mirai/|title=Toyota Mirai: The 300-mile zero-emission vehicle|author=Wayne Cunningham|publisher=CNET|date=2014-11-19|access-date=2014-11-21}} The Mirai has a 245-volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack, similar to that in the Camry Hybrid.

The first generation of Toyota FC Stack achieved a maximum output of {{cvt|114|kW|hp PS|0}}. Electricity generation efficiency was enhanced through the use of 3D fine mesh flow channels. These channels—a world first, according to Toyota—were arranged in a fine three-dimensional lattice structure to enhance the dispersion of air (oxygen), thereby enabling uniform generation of electricity on cell surfaces. This, in turn, provided a compact size and a high level of performance, including the stack's world-leading power output density of 3.1 kW/L (2.2 times higher than that of the previous Toyota FCHV-adv limited-lease model), or 2.0 kW/kg. Each stack comprises 370 (single-line stacking) cells, with a cell thickness of 1.34mm (0.05 in) and weight of {{convert|102|g}}. The compact Mirai FC stack generates about 160 times more power than the residential fuel cells on sale in Japan.

At Toyota's Higashi-Fuji Technical Center, the Mirai has been subjected to extensive crash testing to evaluate a design specifically intended to address frontal, side and rear impacts and to provide claimed excellent protection of vehicle occupants. A high level of collision safety has also been achieved to help protect the fuel cell stack and high-pressure tanks against body deformation. The high pressure hydrogen tanks are claimed to have excellent hydrogen permeation prevention performance, strength, and durability. Hydrogen sensors provide warnings and can shut off tank main stop valves. The hydrogen tanks and other hydrogen-related parts are located outside the cabin to ensure that if hydrogen leaks, it will dissipate easily.

It has a target of 30 percent increase in driving range with increased hydrogen capacity.

In April 2021, Toyota announced that it would offer its "Teammate" level 2 driver assistance system on Mirai. The system offers two modes, Advanced Drive and Advanced Park. Advanced Drive provides "hands off" driving on supported roads with a driver monitoring system verifying that the operator keeps their eyes on the road. Advanced Park is an advanced parking assistance system.{{cite news |last=Niculescu |first=Aurel |date=2021-04-08 |title=Toyota "Advanced Drive" Lets Mirai and LS Owners Talk to Cars, Share Workload |work=autoevolution |url=https://www.autoevolution.com/news/toyota-advanced-drive-lets-mirai-and-ls-owners-talk-to-cars-share-workload-158976.html |access-date=2021-05-21}}{{cite press release |url=https://www.finanznachrichten.de/nachrichten-2021-04/52514577-toyota-launches-ls-and-mirai-equipped-with-advanced-drive-that-enables-drivers-and-cars-to-drive-together-in-japan-011.htm |title=Toyota Launches LS and Mirai Equipped with Advanced Drive that Enables Drivers and Cars to Drive Together in Japan |via=Finanz Nachrichten |date=2021-04-08 |access-date=2021-05-21}}

In 2015, Toyota released Fueled By..., a series of video commercials for the Mirai which show how hydrogen to power fuel cells like the ones that Mirais use could come from various unexpected sources.{{cite AV media |url=https://ssl.toyota.com/mirai/fueledbyeverything.html |title=Toyota Mirai "Fueled By" Commercials |publisher=Toyota |location=US |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151022005226/https://ssl.toyota.com/mirai/fueledbyeverything.html |archive-date=2015-10-22 }} The last commercial, Fueled by the Future, features Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and YouTube science personality Go Tech Yourself. It recalls the Back to the Future franchise and illustrates how the idea of converting trash into fuel (which had been introduced with the "Mr. Fusion" reactor that Dr. Emmett Brown (Lloyd) had brought back from the future at the end of the first film) had become reality. The commercial was released on 21 October — the same date in 2015 in Back to the Future Part II when Marty McFly (Fox), Jennifer Parker (Claudia Wells/Elisabeth Shue) and Brown traveled.

On 15 February 2017 Toyota recalled all of the roughly 2,800 zero-emission Mirai cars on the road due to problems with the output voltage generated by their fuel cell system. According to Toyota, under unique driving conditions, such as if the accelerator pedal is depressed to the wide open throttle position after driving on a long descent while using cruise control, there was a possibility the output voltage generated by the fuel cell boost converter could exceed the maximum voltage. Toyota dealers announced they will update the fuel cell system software at no cost to the customer, claiming the process will take about half an hour.{{cite press release |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-toyota-recall-fuelcells-idUSKBN15U0F1 | title=Toyota to recall all 2,800 Mirai fuel cell cars on the road |author=Chang-Ran Kim | publisher=Reuters | date=2017-02-15 | access-date=2017-02-19}}{{cite news |url=https://consumerist.com/2017/02/15/toyota-recalls-all-hydrogen-powered-mirai-vehicles/ |title=Toyota Recalls All Hydrogen Powered Mirai Vehicles |first=Ashlee |last=Kieler |work=Consumerist |location=US |date=2017-02-15 |access-date=2017-04-22}}

In June 2023, Toyota Motor Corporation was sued in the United States District Court for the Central District of California over alleged defects in the hydrogen fuel cell system of the Toyota Mirai. Plaintiffs claim that the system can suffer from sudden power losses, posing safety risks. They allege that Toyota knew about these issues but did not disclose them to consumers. The lawsuit, represented by Jason M. Ingber of the Ingber Law Group, seeks compensation for damages, including vehicle costs, repairs, and refunds, as well as an injunction to address the defects.

Toyota has denied the allegations, asserting that the Mirai meets all safety and performance standards and that any issues are isolated incidents.

{{As of|2024|June}}, the lawsuit is ongoing, with both parties engaged in pre-trial activities.{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=John |title=Toyota Faces Lawsuit Over Mirai Fuel Cell Defects |url=https://insideevs.com/news/684239/toyota-hydrogen-future-crumbling-owners-file-lawsuits/ |access-date=2024-06-27 |work=InsideEVs |date=2023-06-15}}{{cite news |last1=Jones |first1=Michael |title=Toyota Mirai Owners File Lawsuits Over Fueling Issues |url=https://www.torquenews.com/7393/toyota-mirai-owners-there-no-fuel-and-we-want-out-these-cars |access-date=2024-06-27 |work=Torque News |date=2023-06-25}}{{cite press release |title=Over 150 Toyota Mirai Owners File Individual Lawsuits for Systemic Failures |url=https://www.wsav.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/724832558/over-150-toyota-mirai-owners-file-individual-lawsuits-for-systemic-failures/ |access-date=2024-06-27 |publisher=Ingber Law Group |location=US |via=EIN Presswire |date=2023-06-30}}
