Toyota wants hydrogen to succeed so bad it’s paying people to buy the Mirai

It is physically impossible for hydrogen cars to ever be as green as EVs. In order to do so you’d have to break laws of physics.

In a pure fuel comparison sure, does that still hold true when you also factor in manufacturing?

The losses from simply running electrons through a wire are very small.

You conveniently forgot about battery charging and discharging losses.

Yes.

I didn’t. Those are very small. Compared to the losses of a HFCEV or even worse, a combustion hydrogen car.
