However, to stay on course we urgently need a holistic approach to ensure that the industry remains competitive and resilient whilst investing in emission reduction technologies. This includes [...] substantial investment in charging and hydrogen refilling infrastructure
How exactly is adding hydrogen to the mix helping anyone? Adding options that rely on non-existent infrastructure is only adding cost and making us less competetive.
- The current EU ban plans allow for hydrogen to be used. The only problem is that it seems to be a bad idea. Even for long range trucking, where it had the most potential.
  
  I might be wrong, but the industry has long given up on hydrogen on the road.
- Solid state batteries + capillary charging stations, apparently it's the present. Somewhere else
It's not like if we change that date other manufacturers will stop releasing new competitive ev's
It would not save our industry, it would indeed doom it.
It also isn't an EV monopoly, new cars just can't emit CO2 after 2035. If you want to build a green H2 plant to burn that stuff in cars, you do you.
