Why is Japan so Committed to Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles?

08/22/23 • 59 min

In this episode I'm joined by Phone from Kawasaki, he's a Tesla Model 3 owner who paid for FSD in Japan, but does he think it's worth it right now? He also has some great tips for summer driving, and for people with white seats! In the second part we move on to the bigger topic of Japan's obsession with hydrogen cars, and he came up with some very plausible reasons!
