No more waiting in line to refuel your Mirai–just order a fresh batch of cartridges and top up at home. That’s the idea, at least.
Toyota found a way to downsize the typical consumer hydrogen tank. Its portable hydrogen cartridges are small enough to be carried like a backpack. In theory, they could power anything from stoves to cars. When they're empty, they can just be replaced or refilled. Fuel cell electric vehicles or FCEVs were supposed to be the future. No harmful emissions coming out of the tailpipe and a refueling process as easy as getting gas in a conventionally powered car–that was the promise.
The cartridges are much smaller and lighter than what's currently available in production FCEVs–about as big as a big camping backpack–and the idea is you could just swap them out when they're empty, like propane tanks. The problem is that we don’t know how much hydrogen can be stored in each cartridge or how much driving range one full tank could potentially provide in a real car.
