    More likely that they’re trying to hedge their bet on their hydrogen fuel cell technology that they’ve heavily invested in. It’s actually fairly impressive.

      It’s cool tech but it’s expensive. Per mile, it can’t compete on price with gas let alone battery EVs.

      Hydrogen isn’t working out for them so now they’re just delaying as much as possible.

      And how do you produce hydrogen? Either with methane (producing tons of co2) or by wasting tons of electricity with hydrolysis. BEV is the superior technology in all aspects but one: recharge time.
