Stuffed with loads of advanced technologies and safety features, the Toyota Mirai seems to be a better choice compared to other cars. However, its production still faces challenges in the infrastructure and economy departments to allow it to be normalized. In 2014, the very first Toyota Mirai, a mid-size hydrogen fuel cell vehicle was introduced by Toyota. According to Leow (2022), the Mirai, which means “future” in Japanese, is a hydrogen fuel-cell car that boasts a unique engine that distinguishes itself from its market rivals. T...

After the pitch, I started off with finding resources online on Electrical Vehicles (EVs) demands and population in Singapore.  2. As using solar panels to power the energy to charge an EV is not the typical practice in Singapore, my team and I decided to take examples from overseas to recommendation for trial in Singapore.  3. With Go Green initiatives taken by Singapore, I started to focus on vision from Land Transport Authorities (LTA) to know what are the focus and aims for EVs in the next coming years.  4. With Google and Google Scholars, I will choose related articles to be included in the report and share with my team mates. 5. I update my team...

 

  In 2014, the very first Toyota Mirai, a mid-size hydrogen fuel cell vehicle was introduced by Toyota. According to Leow (2022), the Mirai, which means “future” in Japanese, is a hydrogen fuel-cell car that boasts a unique engine that distinguishes itself from its market rivals. The Mirai uses a hydrogen fuel-cell stack to power itself, unlike conventional batteries. According to Hunting (2023), external oxygen mixes with the hydrogen stored to generate electrical energy, which powers the electric motors. Water is the only waste product due to the mixture, causing zero emissions. Based on the Mirai webpage by Toyota itself, (Toyota, n.d.), the Mirai’s hydrogen engine allows a rapid refuelling time of five minutes. In 2019, the second generation Mirai is introduced, it boasts many improvements compared to the model before. For starters, the ride is quieter and smoother. Its new engine also provides more power and is lighter, allowing the Mirai to hit 100km/h with much ease. Some ad...

The Toyota Mirai is an electric car, boasting a unique engine that distinguishes itself from its market rivals. The Mirai uses a Hydrogen fuel-cell stack to power itself, unlike conventional batteries. How does it work? According to Hunting (2023), external oxygen mixes with the hydrogen stored to generate electrical energy, which powers the electric motors. Water is the only waste product due to the mixture, causing zero emissions. Based on the Mirai webpage by Toyota itself, (2023 Toyota Mirai…, Toyota, n.d.), the Mirai’s hydrogen engine allows a rapid refueling time of five minutes. Some additional performance figures and features of the Mirai include a 645- kilometer range on one tank, and three different driving modes depending on the driver’s utilization of the vehicle, (Eco, Normal and Sport). Since the Mirai’s introduction in 2014, the second generation Mirai boasts many improvements compared to the model before. For starters, the ride is quieter and smoother. Its new engine a...
