Toyota bet big on hydrogen, not EVs. Now they are regretting it and shifting course, as of this past week.

EVs are a mistake. They are unsustainable. In the long run, all car companies will have to shift to hydrogen, no matter what.
Note that hydrogen cars are also EV's in a sense it is the electrical energy that is driving the motor and hydrogen is a consumable. Difference between Tesla and Mirai is the source of the electricity.
The difference is that a hydrogen car is much less resource demanding. It is the EV that is truly sustainable. We need to give them separate names like BEV and FCEV.
