That I don’t doubt. I do, however, believe that Toyota (and the auto industry at large) become too comfortable with them and only invested in other, greener propulsion methods much later. Sure, they gave HFC (which is a cool technology) a try but ultimately went nowhere. Hybrids, while great on their own, was the auto industry’s way of appearing green while keeping their pals at Big Oil happy.
It really is kind of crazy to think about how much time and money Toyota wasted on hydrogen vehicles.
And hybrids.
hybrids are the syit
