The developing world, where Toyota sells a lot of cars, isnt going to EVs anytime in the foreseeable future. It's only the G7 countries that are really pushing it.
Both EVs and hydrogen fuel cells really need modern nuclear power to make sense. Hydrogen is less efficient, but storage is much cheaper and easier than it is with batteries. They're complementary technologies, not competitors.
People need to get over the idea that aggressive decarbonization will ever spread past the 500 million citizens of the G7 states. That's delusional. We should really be more aggressively planning mitigation than Hail Mary green transitions with multiple substantial challenges.

More likely that developing economies will stay on ICE engines until batteries+electricity+chargers become cheaper than ICE. Hydrogen doesn't have a future outside of location- and weight-sensitive applications like carbon-neutral air travel.
