Not true, they want to continue producing ICE cars and have lobbied intensively against climate change measures.

That's a byproduct of what I mentioned. At first they lobbied against EVs to make Hydrogen a more attractive alternative, and now they're lobbying against EVs to buy themselves time to catch up.

No, they lobby against EVs to continue producing ICE cars.

Right, because they aren't ready to sell EVs yet, not because they want to cell ICE cars forever. They literally only have 1 fully electric vehicle across their entire lineup.

Almost all companies lobby against change. Why do you think we have a political party dedicated to fighting change? The same party that gave us Citizens United...

Read above, he’s clearly misstated Toyotas intentions. Oh and careful, you have oil and gas lobbyists in all places.
