Toyota Says This Hydrogen Tacoma Can Rescue Dead EVs In The Wild
"It borrows the fuel-cell from the second-generation Mirai and captures the resulting water vapor for other uses. Two electric motors give it 547 horsepower and other modifications make it perfectly suited for going off-road. Toyota doesn't intend to give up on the hydrogen fuel cell as a means to propel passenger vehicles, which it hopes to offer on a wider scale in its future, possibly even powering the next Corolla."
"It's powered by two electric motors, which together produce 547 horsepower, making it quicker than any combustion Tacoma you can buy today. Instead of lugging around a 1,000-pound battery pack, this FCEV study only needs a 24.9-kilowatt-hour pack (approximately one-quarter of the size of a typical electric truck battery), as it can produce its own power on the go. Toyota boasts that it can "charge your buddy's EV in the great outdoors," which may well be true."
Toyota created a one-off Tacoma H2 Overlander concept combining a second-generation Mirai fuel-cell stack with three pressurized hydrogen tanks. Two electric motors produce a combined 547 horsepower and provide quicker performance than any combustion Tacoma. The vehicle uses a 24.9-kilowatt-hour battery pack instead of a large truck battery and replenishes that pack via onboard fuel-cell electricity generation. The concept captures water vapor produced by the fuel cell for nonpotable uses such as washing or showering. Toyota claims the system can supply power externally, including charging another EV in remote locations. The design includes off-road modifications for overlanding.
