no manufacturer except one that's still desperately trying to push for a hydrogen economy because they invested too much into hydrogen production

Is that what they're doing by releasing one vehicle in a couple of US states and now another in a different country? I think your take is pretty extreme.

For decades, they had been one of the only companies to electrify their vehicles with numerous hybrid options. There doesn't have to be only one single alternative to ICE engines. We can build and develop multiple things in unison.

Uhh, no... hydrogen is the only way forward, unless battery tech magically becomes so much better overnight. We haven't developed a new battery tech over the current stuff since the 70s.

Here's big names who are working on hydrogen cars:

BMW Hyundai Honda Toyota Jaguar

How you going to tell me hydrogen which is the most abundant thing in the universe, is not worth it?

You're the guy hedging his bets on horses and farriers.

EV works for cities but that's about it.
