I think that + it's an EV that Toyota don't have to source the battery cells. FCEVs are full EVs just like Tesla, that uses a different kind of battery than Li-ion.
replyThe latest model comes with a li-ion battery pack. Previous model had Nimh cells I think.
replyTo trick people into thinking hydrogen cars are the future so they don’t buy an EV now.
replyI’ve driven my own vehicles through 65 countries on 5 continents, and even the most remote villages in Africa and South America had electricity of some form.
I’ve never seen a hydrogen filling station in my life. The idea we can build out that infrastructure faster than bolster the electric grid is laughably stupid. Downright deceptive.
I think there's some truth to this. Toyota desperately needs the future to play to their strengths, something more complicated than EVs, which I think is behind their obsession with hybrids.
replyNot sure that a fuel cell vehicle isn't just an EV with extra steps, however.
