The LA R&D center played a large part in launching the light-duty fuel cell vehicle Mirai in 2015. To fill up a hydrogen light-duty car, you go to hydrogen stations, which, so far, get 95% of their hydrogen from polluting methane. If fuel cell vehicles were fueled by green hydrogen , they would be cleaner.
