    The battery pack is basically the one from the Camry hybrid, so it likely has whatever the Camry had for that.
    If you are asking about the hydrogen tank's life, the Department of Transportation requires annual inspections of CNG tanks. That and the tank's end of life date are all their is for high pressure vessels. Aside from the leak detection sensors.

    Yes, same as the Prius indicators, in fact most of the multi function display screens are the same. Nothing for lost capacity though, like the Prius. Not aware of any car having that. Does Tesla ?

    the Leaf has well-known capacity issues, especially for the early models. the tesla would rather strand you than destroy its own batteries.

    um ... that's bad? Guess I must have missed it . . . . the hybrid or plugin that doesn't strand you, rather than destroy it's own pack. Which one is that pray tell . . . . I might just want to avoid that one.
    :p

    i made no judgment, just pointing it out. the leaf for example has no issues destroying its own battery pack ;-)

    As one of the original owners, & having over 60k miles now (vin 000659) - & feeling perfectly fine with making fun of a vehicle's Achilles heel - even tho it may posess other great qualities .... yes point well taken. And similar to the Mirai imo, it is equally hard on the eyes too.

    There , i brought it back on topic
    ;)
