A $5.7B lawsuit alleges that Toyota operated an organized, fraudulent enterprise that intentionally concealed catastrophic safety defects.

According to the complaint, Toyota and its hydrogen partner, FirstElement Fuel (True Zero), intentionally concealed evidence of:

  • hydrogen leaks near hot engine components, creating explosion risks

  • sudden power loss, acceleration, and braking failures leading to collisions and injuries

  • a collapsing hydrogen infrastructure, leaving drivers stranded for weeks without access to fuel

  • aggressive financial collection tactics by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, targeting owners of inoperable vehicles.

    By that logic an electric “fuel” station would only need sunlight, and less of it since you don’t have to use electricity to convert from water to hydrogen, so that the car can convert hydrogen to electricity.
