> I feel like Toyota is wasting its money. Maybe I'm missing something. There looked to be two problems for hydrogen EV's. One was storing it, and the second was the platinum in the fuel cell. It's now looking like storing Hydrogen as a compound of some sort is going to be a thing. There are several compounds out there now, Ammonium making big strides recently. The platinum in the fuel cell's is still a thing, where "a thing" means we need more platinum to power the world's electricity needs than we have platinum, and not by a small factor. They've been reducing the amount needed but not by enough and there is no hint anyone's found another catalyst doing the job. Yet. Maybe Toyota's bet is there has to be one, surely? That sounds like a bit bet, but batteries aren't there yet either. They have to drop in cost by a factor of 2 of 3. We don't know how that will be done, but it's looking it will happen and these announcements of "we will only be making EV's in 2030" are essentially bets that will come to pass.
