No it's not going to be like that. I think they're going to exchange patents and things like that to catch up to the EV markets. The Japanese are very conservative when it comes to technology, believe it or not. Because of the older people being higher in hierarchy. They don't like change and disruption. Meanwhile in Korea and China, things have been moving fast and following the trends.

China is getting tarrifed out of the market, it's really only Hyundai/Kia now to push the envelope at the moment and force competition (for EVs)
