I agree. Toyota is reacting (woefully late) to EU announcements about banning or restricting the sale of ICE vehicles starting around 2030, with PR spin about a magical new technology that isn't even in pilot project stage.

Those (magical new untested technologies) always turn out to be manufacturable, reliable, durable and profitable, of course.

Don't the 2030 regs include hybrids which Toyota is the master.

Yes, I don’t think the response is to regulations, but the fact that EVs have taken off while the Japanese carmakers have been placing massive bets on hydrogen which does not look as promising.
