It's probably closer to 40% and 75% respectively. VW is probably not being totally honest with their numbers. This gap will shrink in the future.
The Mirai is overbuilt for what it is. The Hyundai Nexo is 1814-1873 kg despite being an SUV. For reference, the Model Y is 2003 kg.
- bryanlarsen 6y agoThe single motor standard range version of the Y would be about 200 kg lighter, and is a bigger vehicle than the Nexo. The motors in the Model 3 are 97% efficient. 90% for the entire system is not a dishonest number
- Hypx 6y agoOn the other hand, the Nexo is storing a much larger amount of energy. At 6.3 kg of hydrogen and at 33.3 kWh of usable energy per kg, that's 209.8 kWh. The Y only stores 75 kWh in comparison. Fuel cells are around 60% efficient today. The system efficiency is probably around 55%. This is a number that will increase as fuel cells get more efficient. I believe the gap will eventually close altogether, or at least shrink greatly.
