I have seen argument thrown around recently, and it lacks credibility to be frank. They aren't the only automakers investing in fuel cell tech and I doubt they are going all in on it. Fuel cell cars a real thing and are a viable option in the future, so there is nothing wrong with that.
They have their reasons for why they believe pure EV shouldn't be rushed into the market in the fashion we are seeing. And people fail to take into account less developed areas of the world as well. Anyhow, Toyota is introducing some pure EV's this year and they are big on solid state batteries. They just plan to offer more options than just pure EV, it makes sense as the world cannot make that transition to pure EV in just 5-10 years.
