    It's been many years now. It's even claimed the loss of Toyota royalty and the CEO. They found out it wasn't working very well for them and now they're in a rush overcompensating.

    Their lack of BEV investment in New Zealand for example, has ensured that now all their cars are ineligible for subsidies. They'd push Hydrogen if they could, but like other countries, we only have one hydrogen station.
