I wonder what a tank of Hydrogen costs?

One source I found listed a kilogram of hydrogen for $16.51 US. The Mirai was loaded with 5.6 kilos...so $92.45 US or about $112 CDN.

Just to stir the pot. For the same C$ value in gasoline, I could get that distance, 1003km or better, in my daughter's Fusion. Heck, I'd come close to that distance in the F150.

...and even less places to fuel up than an electric car.

Also curious how long it takes to fill 5 kg of hydrogen into the tank?

One source says it takes 3-5 minutes to fill a 4 kilogram tank.
