> Go actually look at the internal of a PHEV. They have literally every single part of a BEV but also have many, many additional parts. Yeah, every hydrogen car, including Toyota's, still needs a big battery because the motor is still an electric motor and fuel cells still can't on demand produce the sort of electricity needed to drive the electric motor at high torque. (Plus to be similarly efficient to a BEV they need the battery storage for regenerative braking, they can't just add hydrogen to the tank.) Hydrogen cars are still just worse battery electric cars in practice from a "fender bender" standpoint and even other consumer viewpoints. (The refueling experience is faster sure, but it is overall worse.) Toyota is lucky that all the money they are throwing at hydrogen cars still is keeping them somewhat competitive in BEV experience, because the hydrogen vehicles are just worse BEVs. Eventually when they get past the sunk cost hurdle and cut their losses they might be in a place to use all the experience building bad BEVs into building good ones.
