Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Cold Weather Failures and Toyota Mirai
The viability of hydrogen fuel cells is questioned, particularly their performance in cold climates where exhaust water can freeze and block tailpipes. A report from Latham, New York, describes ice balls forming in testing rigs at 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite infrastructure challenges, hydrogen pumps are being installed in locations like Union Station in Los Angeles to support vehicles like the Toyota Mirai.
