In Lismore, Australia, the trend of shifting towards electric cars is evident, with Tesla vehicles becoming more common on the streets. However, the spotlight recently turned towards hydrogen technology as a potential rival to electric vehicles. At a Business Lismore After Hours event at Lismore Toyota, the Toyota Mirai was introduced as the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered car in Lismore, offering a remarkable range of 750 kilometers on a full tank and a quick refueling time of just five minutes, emitting only water vapor. While hydrogen technology shows great promise, the main obstacle to its widespread adoption in Australia is the limited refueling infrastructure, with only 13 refueling stations in the country currently. The government's initiative to establish an east coast hydrogen refueling network aims to address this issue, starting with support for the heavy haulage transport sector. Safety is a key focus for hydrogen vehicles, with the Toyota Mirai featuring design elements to protect its fuel cell system in collisions and sensors to detect hydrogen leaks. The technology behind the Mirai allows for efficient electricity production through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, providing advantages in efficiency and power over traditional gasoline vehicles and electric cars. While the sentiment towards hydrogen technology in the article is positive, highlighting its potential, there are concerns regarding infrastructure development and safety features. The Toyota Mirai's innovative approach to transportation signifies a step towards a greener future in the automotive industry.
