Many car owners of the Toyota Mirai are suing the automaker and key players due to misleading claims about the hydrogen fueling network. With steep increases in hydrogen prices and the collapse of fueling infrastructure, drivers find themselves making payments on cars they cannot use. The legal complaints accuse Toyota of selling vehicles based on deficient infrastructure and unspecified technology readiness. One plaintiff, Sam D'Anna, reported his car being nearly empty and lacking nearby fueling stations, highlighting the broader systemic issues of the hydrogen mobility framework in California.
The promise of a hydrogen-fueled future has turned into a nightmare for hundreds of car owners in California who purchased Toyota's Mirai.
Drivers suing claim they were misled about the viability of the hydrogen fueling network, with infrastructure collapsing and hydrogen prices surging.
A complaint accuses Toyota and others of fraud, negligence, and violations of consumer protection laws, claiming they sold vehicles reliant on a deficient fueling ecosystem.
Plaintiff Sam D'Anna's Mirai sits unused under a tarp at his father's house due to a lack of accessible hydrogen fueling stations.
