    Infrastructure comes following the demand. It’s not like there were gas stations before there were cars. On the other hand, I think it’s good they are investing money in different technologies. I think they realize whoever gets to the new solution first will reap benefits, kind of how Honda insisted on using 4-stroke engines in their dirt bikes while everyone else was pushing 2-stroke. When the 2-stroke ban came, everyone else struggled to switch while Honda had it perfected.

    Toyota might be lobbying and pushing their solution, but as long as they are investing and solution is cleaner we benefit in the end. Certainly better than what oil-lobbyists are doing pushing the idea it’s not a big problem yet.

      How do you drive demand? If there’s no infrastructure you can’t sell anything that relies on said infrastructure. How’s California’s Hydrogen Highway doing? Not good. Demand and infrastructure go hand in hand, and you can’t magically make one develop without the other. Thinking otherwise is merely wishful thinking.

        Demand and infrastructure go hand in hand

        This is what I meant, they drag each other.
