Range anxiety is becoming less and less of an issue with conventional electric vehicles as battery tech is evolving at a rapid pace. With the Mirai<\/a>, Toyota is proposing a different type of an EV as its Mirai sedan relies on hydrogen fed to an electric motor to provide propulsion. In a bid to prove a fuel cell car can cover extended distances comparable to a diesel-fueled vehicle, a second-generation Mirai entered the automotive equivalent of a marathon to set a new world record for the longest distance driven with one fill of hydrogen.<\/p>\n

The trip kicked off last Wednesday, May 26, at 5:43 in the morning from the HYSETCO hydrogen station in Orly, France where the Mirai embarked on what was about to become a record-breaking trip. The large rear-wheel-drive sedan was able to cover an impressive 1,003 kilometers (623 miles) before its three cylindrical tanks storing a total of 5.6 kilograms of hydrogen were depleted.<\/p>\n
