Given how badly development of the charging infrastructure is lagging, and given Toyota is already making cars as fast as it can sell them, their slow rollout of EVs is probably a good thing for everyone.
- Rygian 3y agoI can't see how putting more ICE cars on the streets is good for anyone.
- justin66 3y agoMandating more electric cars on the road than the infrastructure would allow would be... dumb? Not even an option? Economically catastrophic? Automakers in the UK are flipping out because they recently pushed back their overly ambitious date for eliminating ICE cars, which the automakers were supposedly (I'm skeptical) already tooling up for. You can see how being early comes with its own risks and costs for a traditional automaker making the transition. None of that justifies Toyota's effort spent farting around with hydrogen, of course.
