and has higher capacity than the nickel metal-hydride battery used in the first-gen model (310.8v Direct current from the battery is converted into three-phase alternating current for the FC air compressor and the electric drive motor. In the 2021 Mirai, a lithium-ion battery is smaller and lighter (98.3 seconds.

THS II uses two electric motors—MG1 and MG2—to supplement the charging of the hybrid system’s Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack, while MG2 assists the engine. Dimensionally, DC-DC converter’s output filter is smaller, lighter, and quieter for an improved passenger experience.

Incorporating a BES system can aid in lowering the operational costs of a DC fast charger. Unlike Level 2 chargers that use 208/240-volt (V) input, DC fast chargers demand 480 V (often necessitating a new transformer). This is accomplished using bidirectional electronic converters that link the electrical network to EV batteries.

A new torque converter provides a wider range of lock-up operation (versus the outgoing 6-speed automatic transmission) to imbue a more enveloping and direct driving feel. The converter contributes to low fuel consumption and passenger comfort, since engine revving is kept to a minimum.
