How about a comparison with their hydrogen fuel cell vehicle? That's the interesting comparison. Is the range more or less? What about cost?

I suspect there are big time problems with hydrogen fuel cells for Toyota to develop this approach. They are bringing back many of the worst aspects of ICE's (complexity, cost, maintenance, engine oil?). Why?
