In 2004, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced plans for a “hydrogen highway” — a network of stations for hydrogen fuel cell cars that would clean up the air and free the U.S. from foreign oil, with California leading the way.
Except that didn’t really happen. Twenty years later, the American automotive industry has moved heavily towards electric vehicles that run on batteries, not hydrogen, and those who invested in the hydrogen dream are left battling fuel shortages, high prices and faulty equipment. @theverge took a 450-mile road trip across California in a Toyota Mirai — the most popular hydrogen-powered car on the market today — to meet some of them.
