Toyota does sell the Mirai[1] in California, it has pressurized tanks[2] I think keeping the hydrogen liquefied would take low temps as well, which would use a lot of energy for refrigeration (and or a lot of volume for insulation).

- Alupis 3y agoThanks for the links. I had thought the Mirai was discontinued, but it looks like it's still in production. Regarding the tanks - they appear to be high pressure, but non-refrigerated and non-insulated. It would seem pressure alone keeps the Hydrogen in liquid state - if that's how it works.
