> Honda says their upcoming generation is no more expensive to manufacture than an ICE vehicle.

A hydrogen vehicle from Honda (or Toyota) is an EV (electric motor, lithium ion battery) with an expensive fuel cell ("weird battery") and expensive fuel tank tacked on (and maybe missing an electric plug). An admission that they've got the cost of Hydrogen cars down to the same costs an ICE vehicle is an underhanded admission that they can build EV cars cheaper than ICE.

(The problem is with hydrogen vehicles. It's a funny red herring to just producing good cheap EVs.)
