- ProllyInfamous 3y agoToyota has not been a leader in full-EVs because they believe that most customers want a non-charging hybrid solution — one they "just put gas in to" and forget about anything else. IMHO, this is the correct solution for all but a handful of commuters (e.g. a WFH citydweller could probably enjoy a full EV, but not for vacations).
- freeAgent 3y agoYeah, I know it’s an intentional strategy. I’m just commenting that I wouldn’t have particularly high hopes in the near term for Mazda EVs due to the Toyota partnership. Toyota are one of the leading companies researching solid state batteries, though (or so it seems), so that could be a game changer.
