Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other Japanese automakers are serious about rolling out battery electric vehicles to catch up with the world’s frontrunners like Tesla and BYD

“We love battery EVs.”

Takero Kato, the executive in charge of electric vehicles at Toyota, said that not once, but twice, to emphasize what he considers the message at this year’s Tokyo auto show.

It’s a message ringing clear at the Tokyo Mobility Show, which will run through Nov. 5 at Tokyo Big Sight hall and where battery-powered electric vehicles are the star at practically every booth.

    You’re comparing liquid methane with compressed hydrogen. Not the same thing.

    Like I just said, you’re using Gish Gallop. It’s just a pile of BS or half-truths. It’s not really an argument.

    In reality, the problem of dealing with hydrogen is basically solved. It is similar to where solar power was a decade ago. The goal right now is to scale it all up. There are no other real issues left.

      It’s basically solved. Is argument taken right out of the Musk play book.

      This guy’s just trolling and y’all should stop feeding.

        Hydrogen cars already exist. It’s pretty obvious that these problems are solved. Guys like you are basically denying reality.
