This man drove a Toyota Mirai to see if hydrogen-powered cars were better than EVs and got one hell of a shock.
The Mirai combines hydrogen with oxygen from the outside air to generate power.
Despite boasting a competitive range of 400 miles per tank, this YouTuber had his reservations before testing it out.
Amazingly, though, after sitting behind the wheel, he got a shock and a half.

YouTuber shares his big surprise after driving the Toyota Mirai
YouTuber The MacMaster tested out the Toyota Mirai to see if the technology really had legs.
And it’s safe to say that he was impressed with the hydrogen-powered vehicle.
“I feel quite honored,” the creator said as he got behind the wheel.
There was one feature that caught him off guard from the start.
“I genuinely am shocked that there is no noise, no engine noise,” he said.
But there was a lot more to the car that impressed this YouTuber.
“The steering is very light, quite responsive,” he explained as he drove the vehicle.
He even compared parts of the car to a Porsche.
So, it was rave reviews for the Toyota Mirai.
And while many EVs take hours to charge, he said the Mirai took just five minutes to fill up.
Toyota is, of course, proud of its hydrogen creation, claiming its ‘eye-catching design effortlessly blends with innovative new technology’.
Toyota has plenty of projects on the go
From daily drivers to supercar concepts, the brand has done it all, and many gearheads praise its fleet.
For example, the new Toyota Le Mans hydrogen concept is a 200mph move against electric supercars.
Plus, people are even calling for Toyota to make this luxurious Century SUV pickup truck concept a reality.
Would you opt for a hydrogen-powered car as technology evolves?
Or are you sticking to your humble gas-powered run-about?
