The Japanese car companies put all their eggs in the hydrogen basket, despite their early head start in EV with the Toyota Prius and such, and as hydrogen looks to be more and more of a dead end due to transportation and safety concerns, of course they are going to be sandbagging EV adoption to buy time and catch up.
Gotta love the Japanese culture of holding onto tradition until you can't anymore.
Gotta remember that Japan was still mostly feudal up until the World Wars. Pretty recent in human history.
