    Hmm, I honestly forgot about it. I remember them doing trial runs of bio-diesel and diesel-electric hybrid busses but I don't remember the hydrogen fuel cell ones.

    Also, it says "Vancouver" but the bus is BC Transit.... sure it wasn't Victoria? lol. BC Transit hasn't operated in Vancouver for over a decade.

    I can't wait to see when the canadians convert the Mirai to diesel - like they did their buses.

    I know it's tongue-in-cheek but given that Quebec has the lowest hydro cost in Canada, it's more likely they'll switch to BEVs.

    As long as they don't give it the range of a Clarity BEV, they should be fine cars after conversion.

    Heck, if Bob Klutz's company can consider buying Fisker w/ hopes of stripping 'em down & putting in big blocks ..... who knows what might happen.

    The Clarity EV isn't sold in Canada - we only get the PHEV.

    Hyundai sold the Tucson FC for a few years up here.

    The Prime is slowly rolling out nationwide.. or it should be.. as soon as the 2018 webpage is online (the press release is out but the consumer page is still showing the 2017 model)

    Most of the US is only getting the PHEV Clarity. The others are limited to California; maybe in Oregon too for the BEV.
