The problem is that many people don't have garages to charge their cars and battery charging is unlikely to get much more faster than it is now.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank MrFrogger
good luck and enjoy!! hopefully you have better luck with fuel stations.
Is this price currently being subsidized on top of the pump price? and is the pump charging a road tax?
What is the current way the make they make gas (Chemical reaction or electrolysis? )?
That price per KWH needs to get a lot lower than these prices by a factor of 4 to be competitive with gas.. That is why I was thinking the Solar/Wind would be perfect for use when supply of electricity is in excess.

This YT explains the wheel to wheel inefficiencies of hydrogen. It's something like 4kw in = 1kw out. Where a battery EV is about 4kw in = 3 kw out. This is why it hasn't taken off.

However, here you're getting a significant upfront discount. Those discounts are typically also reflected in the long-term and (sometimes) short-term residual value. But even the operating costs on this car are subsidized with the fuel credit such that in any normal commuter scenario Toyota is paying you take this thing (in part so that they can meet fleet goals).
The comparison with an Avalon is almost too conservative, since the current shared platform for the Mirai is with the Lexus LC/LS(!). Most of the specs for sizing on this car are either between the LC and LS or shared with the LS... this is not a small car!
In the right timing and geographic setting this would have been an alternative for my two-car household (where the other car is a minivan - currently the commuter/short-haul family car is an ES300h). I also suspect that somewhere between the 6-10 year mark this car has literally paid for itself (contrasted with early Toyota hybrids, which were challenged to even pay for the hybrid upgrade fee early on).
Surely some Slickdealer out there shopped for a used FCV?
Good luck!

The problem is the cost of the cars since the technology is new and the lack of infrastructure to refill.
Even if I had a station at home, I'd not get this, though. Hydrogen is pretty carbon intensive at the moment. To be green, an EV over its lifetime is a better choice.

Good if you can lease to get the carpool sticker and return it after 36 months...its super expensive to own since fuel cells cost like 3x the cost of unleaded.
Turn and burn baby!

I think if you can lease this it's an awesome deal.
Not well versed with tax credits and I trust our SD community to give honest pointers/answers.
TIA.
