irv Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/13/why-toyota-the-worlds-largest-automaker-isnt-all-in-on-evs.html Toyota, the king of hybrid vehicles, has come under scrutiny by some environmentalist groups for its cautiousness on investing in fully electric vehicles. The company doesn’t believe battery-electric vehicles are the only solution to producing more sustainable vehicles and achieving carbon neutrality. Toyota has a goal to produce 3.5 million electric vehicles by 2030, which would be more than a third of its current sales, while rival automakers promise to exclusively offer such vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 14, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 Gas powered vehicles will remain hot sellers well into the 2030's. If foreign owned companies are the only ones producing them they will be the beneficiaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 not all areas of the world will adopt EVs at the same pace due to the high cost of the vehicles as well as a lack of infrastructure, they say. “For as much as people want to talk about EVs, the marketplace isn’t mature enough and ready enough ... at the level we would need to have mass movement,” said Jack Hollis, executive vice president of sales at Toyota Motor North America, last month during a virtual Automotive Press Association meeting.
