Hopefully they, Tesla’s tech/design for charging stations, become the standard…there’s like three others here in the states and I think Europe has more.

Electric cars a huge mistake. It's funny seeing how they are now finding out that these cars and their respective batteries are filling up the landfills, and insurance totals them out nearly instantly. It's going to do more damage to the environment than ICE cars.

I heard Toyota is backing away from EV and looking more into Hydrogen. I mean, in a way even this would technically be EV in that it has an electric motor system, but source the power from Hydrogen Cell technology.

If they have a solid tank system that keeps Hydrogen from seeping away, I think this is really a better option. People wanna park the car in the garage lol. Also, I heard Hydrogen itself can be a Greenhouse Gas so it can't be seeping out to rise in the atmosphere.

Could a car like this in an accident also be quickly totaled by insurance? Well, I guess it wouldn't be to hard to test the integrity of the tank system, but that's possible. Hopefully though, the car scrap would be easier to reprocess overall and not have junk battery leftover.

Nah, they always been more into hydrogen, always skeptical of EVs, they built one, leased it, stopped, then teamed up with Tesla for a RAV4, and bailed on them. Note they’re with Subaru and they just share the cost. But they are gonna make their entire fleet of Lexus into EVs
