Why make electric cars when you can bribe politicians to tax EVs and promote hybrids?
- cenamus 1y agoAre you talking about Toyota or every german automaker ;)
- nixass 1y agoOr even US government? (by removing incentives)
- bigstrat2003 1y agoRemoving incentives is not "taxing EVs", it's leveling the playing field. If EVs can't compete without the competition being tilted in their favor, they aren't up to scratch yet.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoIf EV costs more you pay more sales tax / gst / vat. Also most places now tax EV registration with extra fee or per mile so you add fair share towards roads making hybrid TCO lower.

Toyota sells more cars than any other automaker. 2023 was a record sales year for Toyota. 2025 is looking like it will be another record year for them: https://www.autoblog.com/news/nearly-900000-cars-sold-toyotas-record-july-proves-strategy-works https://www.autoblog.com/news/nearly-900000-cars-sold-toyota...
