I strongly disagree. Companies are having a very very hard time getting into the electric vehicle business. Toyota actively spent money trying to slow down the advancements in EVs to give themselves time to catch up (https://electrek.co/2021/09/22/toyota-facing-boycotts-over-fight-slow-electric-vehicle-progress/ https://electrek.co/2021/09/22/toyota-facing-boycotts-over-f...). If only centers, parts, repairs, and manufacturing capacity matter, then Toyota should have nothing to fear. They have all of that in spades compared to rivian or Tesla.

- slaw 4y agoGive BEV 10 or 20 years and it will be as good as ICE.
- somewhat_drunk 4y agoBattery tech is advancing rapidly. BEVs will be 95% of automotive sales by the end of the decade.
- 7e 4y agoBattery tech hasn’t changed at all since the Model S in 2012.
