    The poll is setup with a matrix of buy/no-buy as well as non-fuel cell vehicles.

    Is it intended to be single choice?

    Yes. I figured to give two Miri choices and three non-Miri choices. I did include having {H} station in the Miri choices.

    Just helping people make decisions - they may picture the Gen1 Mirai.

    wow, looks like a tesla with an ugly front and rear.

    no mirai for me, no fueling stations and an inefficient power supply.

    I liked the feigned ignorance (a form of lying) in the other thread, to our moderator from the north when he asked if oranji was deliberately trying to piss him off.
    "..... Umm gee - whatever do you mean ..."
    Probably while posting the same pictures in several new places. It'LL be kinda pathetic if it comes to limiting post/privileges
    Not to micromanage, but other options could be,
    - no, hydrogen mostly comes from non-renewable sources
    - no the California hydrogen experiment is causing the state tax income stream to sink deeper into debt crisis and they can't handle their own homeless.
    - no, the fuel is way too expensive.
    - no, its appreciation sets all-time record lows.

    But we can't all have our cake and eat it.

    I chose BEV even though there are H2 stations in my area.

    1. The current Mirai is expensive in Canada. The new one even more so since it looks to be moving into LS territory
    2. I don't have the luxury (finance, parking, insurance) of owning two vehicles
    3. My current Prime shows me that I can comfortably own a BEV with decent range (300-400km so that I have a buffer in the winter).
    4. Canadian charging stations seem to be more reliable. They're rarely broken and if so, are fixed fairly quickly. While I never looked during a busy long weekend, the DCFCs seem to be abundant enough given the number of registered BEVs.... for now.

    I have driven the 1G Mirai on several occasions and I like the way it drives (i.e. feels normal... nothing quirky). You do sit a bit high on the current Mirai (from what I can remember).

    Hope this voting goes smoother than the Presidential election - or I may demand a recount ;)

    No way. No fueling station nearby. Even if there are H2 stations nearby, I won't buy at the current price tag. But I am hoping fuel cell will pick up more popularity here.

    My answer is Prefer PHEV, but I would love the idea of a hydrogen and battery hybrid.

    They won’t sell you one, if there are no fueling stations nearby to you - so problem solved.
