The only reason Toyota is pushing back against EV is because they are so heavily invested in hydrogen powered vehicles, which isn't going to happen.

Right. At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise. If we could find an easier, better way to make it, that would change the game entirely.

Ah, the magical technological advancement that is only possible with hydrogen. While ignoring the advancements with EVs.

At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise.

EVs are already way more efficient. You're repeating things that have been discussed ages ago as something new.

But it's an electric car with a much lower efficiency than one that uses batteries

A highly exaggerated claim. Once you factor in all of the challenges of grid energy storage and battery manufacturing, there's likely to be little to no difference.
