And story has it the small battery is the reason for the pathetic performance. (9.1 seconds 0-60 speed, which is minivan levels).

The fuel cell can't produce electricity fast enough to power the engines for proper acceleration and the battery doesn't have enough buffer.

The Honda Odyssey minivan can run 0-60 mph in under 7 seconds. So I guess the Mirai is worse than a minivan. But maybe good enough for a city car.
