    Toyota is resisting EVs to stop the company going bust. Most sensible people still want ICE vehicles so building EVs that hardly anyone wants is a dangerous strategy for any company.

    An average electric vehicle (EV) consumes close to 400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) a month.
    If we do the maths, an entire city of say 10 million vehicles would need atleast one more power station for addressing incremental electric ⚡️power demand per month with corresponding last mile charging infrastructure on demand. Toyota knew it all along and does not want vehicles stranded or give owners range anxiety.

    Not surprise as Toyota is late to the EV biz and it will be difficult for them to be profitable in the EV market given the progress by Chinese EV car manufacturers. Most traditional combustion engine auto makers have not invested in EV tech and have been milking the combustion engine biz. Toyota is a fantastic auto co but not sure if it can survive the transformation to EV.

      A recent report by Boston Consulting said that most manufacturers lose $6,000 on every EV that they sell. When Toyota produces an EV, it intends to make a profit on each car. Toyota has been producing hybrids for over
      25 years with early slow adoption by consumers. Hybrids were a major risk, but Toyota did not bet the company on hybrids like every EV only manufacturer is now doing. If tax credits end, even Tesla is vulnerable in the U.S.
      Gradualization in EVs isn't a strategy when there is no end game to profitability. Even BYD produces hybrids.
      Tesla has created a public image of what an EV should be. Toyota could reverse engineer the Tesla, but Toyota's ongoing profitability gives it time. It's not likely with so much global EV investment that Toyota by itself would invent a technically superior EV. Toyota has to target a globally profitable product.

      No, it won’t be difficult for them. They could honestly make the switch at any time. The only difficult part is them deciding when to drop their dominance in the sedan market with their ice/hybrid and figuring out how much money they might leave on the table when or if they do abandon the ice/hybrid market. Actually producing EVs is not difficult for them.

    It's just a big denial by Toyota! 😅
    They just can not accept that many supporting industries of their ICE car should be bankrupt if they switch to BEV. Billion dollars was already invested on it.
    Late BEV development is one of their mistakes as well.

    • @yo2trader539
      @yo2trader539 Před 20 dny

      It's not denial. Rather, Toyota along with the entire Japanese industry don't believe that EVs will solve any of our problems because we import and burn natural gas to produce electricity. Whatever we save in gasoline, we ended up importing and burning more natural gas, which will severely impact the electric grid.
      EVs may make sense in a country like Iceland where everything is geothermal and electricity is abundant and cheap. It will not make sense for countries that need to burn fossil fuel to produce electricity or have weak energy infrastructure.

  • @1voluntaryist

    The main reason hybrids sell is range anxiety. That is slowly dying out with new battery tech allowing 10 or 15 minute charge and longer & longer range. Toyota had the chance to partner with. Elon Musk, did so, was successful, and strangely ended the alliance. Why? Some day I predict this will be sited as the chief reason Toyota died. The most popular CAR worldwide is Tesla, and no other is close.

      Toyota's lithium-ion batteries are developed, manufactured, and sold by its subsidiary PPES (Prime Planet Energy & Solutions, Inc., a joint venture between Toyota Motor Corporation and Panasonic Corporation).
      The most important thing is safety. ---- ``absolutely not causing a fire,''
      The performance of automobile batteries can sometimes affect people's lives. Although the lithium-ion batteries produced by PPES are compact and can store large amounts of energy, they require extremely advanced technology to handle. For example, the slightest factor, such as the introduction of minute impurities, can cause a fire or malfunction.
      PPES is equipped with technology and quality control cultivated through many years of experience and achievements, including the Toyota and Panasonic eras, as well as the strength of the people who support them. Employees at PPES are conscious of ``absolutely not causing a fire,'' and work within a thorough quality control system that includes strict control of foreign substances at the micron level and material development at the atomic and molecular level.

      Most of the benefits of owning an electric vehicle will be gone once the majority use them. The cost to charge them will skyrocket. This is because the government will no longer be getting taxed from gasoline sales. There will be massive regulations. They could even place an electric vehicle tax on your home electricity. It benefits you financially to keep these vehicles as niche as physically possible for the time being.
