I don't know that Toyota is all that credible on EVs, or anything related. It seems as if they're always talking about the EVs that they'll offer in 5 years. They just aren't a significant EV presence. Last year in Europe they sold fewer than 6,000 EVs. That's 98.3% fewer than the EU EV leader, Volkswagen Group (over 349,000 EVs sold). > They have taken their proven hybrid platform and introduced a hydrogen > component that takes on-board water and produces the hydrogen at a rate > required to fuel an ice.So the only infrastructure required is water. That kind of sounds like a Toyota news release or advertisement. In fact it reminds me about as much of the investor-trolling backyard "free energy" true believers. >From your description, it almost seems as if Toyota is saying they can buld a miracle car that runs on water. It reminds me of David Mamet's radio play "The Water Engine." That was pure fantasy, and I suspect that this is too. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I couldn't find any information on this alleged breakthrough. Can you cite a credible source?
