    We have 3 hydrogen pool cars at work, Toyota Mirai’s. Very swish, range is around 400miles & there are two public hydrogen filling stations in Aberdeen. We also have 7 i3’s & the Toyotas are more comfortable and luxurious, but they are £750 a month vs the i3 at £280. They are quite similar to drive as both use electric drive systems, but the hydrogen car is not as brisk. I wanted the Nexo, but it was way more per month to lease.

    We got them for long range staff travel as well as between our campuses (82 mile round trip)  – given that they may need to make that journey twice or even three times a day & refuelling takes around 5-10 mins.

    We also have 4 hybrid corollas for the longer trips just in case the Mirais are busy or the staff will be on-site remotely for a few days and not able to refuel.

    Changed days from the horde of 1.6 petrol Ford Escort LX’s & an old Sierra estate they had when I first started work there in the last century.

    In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
