Drivers who purchased hydrogen-fueled cars are suing Toyota over their own stupidity.

There are only 54 locations offering hydrogen refueling in California, out of the 200 the state has promised. Why people are suing Toyota rather than the state I do not know.

>When he first bought his Toyota Mirai in 2022, Ryan Kiskis was a happy man. He loved the idea of applying cutting edge hydrogen fuel cell technology to environmental consciousness.

>"It's a great car," he said. "My background is an engineer, I'm a huge automotive fan, and I felt the the world was finally catching up with what we have to do" to cut greenhouse gases.

Hydrogen is a lousy fuel. Any engineer should understand that, meaning Mr Kiskis is a lousy engineer.

>Then reality crashed in. He soon learned that hydrogen refueling stations are scarce and reliably unreliable.

After he bought the car?

>He learned that the state of California, which is funding the station buildout, is far behind schedule - 200 stations were supposed to be up and running by 2025, but only 54 exist.

Well, that project is doing better than the California high-speed rail at least.

>And since Kiskis bought his car, the price of hydrogen has more than doubled, currently the equivalent of $15 a gallon of gasoline.

You would need a heart of stone not to laugh.

>With fueling so expensive and stations so undependable, Kiskis - who lives in Pacific Palisades and works at Google in Playa Vista

Of course he works for Google.

>drives a gasoline Jeep for everything but short trips around the neighborhood."I"ve got a great car that sits in the driveway," he said.

With any luck it will get stolen.
