Now that we've trained the whole world in american-style corporate criminality, we're gonna pull the rug out from them and reveal ourselves to be the good guys! Right? Right, guys?
Let's just block Chinese EVs. Crisis over
The Japanese car companies put all their eggs in the hydrogen basket, despite their early head start in EV with the Toyota Prius and such, and as hydrogen looks to be more and more of a dead end due to transportation and safety concerns, of course they are going to be sandbagging EV adoption to buy time and catch up.
Care to share some sources regarding hytrogen safety?
NEDO is a big public institution for renewable energy research. The budget is ~500M$ a year and they bet a lot in hydrogen : https://www.nedo.go.jp/english/index.html (https://www.nedo.go.jp/english/activities/activities_ZZJP_100096.html)
That isn't what I asked for but thanks. Their comment implied hydrogen is unsafe and I asked sourced for that, because I couldn't find any.
China being a massive producer of EVs is also a large part of it. Japan and China have a long hatred of one another, but will sometimes set aside differences for simple things.
Gotta love the Japanese culture of holding onto tradition until you can't anymore.
Gotta remember that Japan was still mostly feudal up until the World Wars. Pretty recent in human history.
