    The Hydrogen tank for the Toyota Mirai literally has a replacement date of 10 years. And that’s not a maybe, it has to be replaced for safety reasons.

    Modern Batteries last 10 years easy. Even the abused leaf ones with no thermal management last fine. It will not be any issue

      Could be, but I bet that hydrogen tanks is much cheaper, easier to produce and recycle. Also doesn’t require rare earth materials.
