Only if they are hybrids. Full EV’s are not effective.

He is pretty much right.

That said, a 30% market share is still a lot of cars.

30%?

That’s being generous. I don’t see even 10% ever.

"Toyoda's opinion doesn't mean that he's completely given up on cleaner energy"
..as if EV batteries were by any measure environmentally- (transport ship-) or child-friendly.

EVs are boutique cars and the boutique market is full-up.

The automotive industry is apparently run by fools who can’t

do math.

“Consistent with EPA’s traditional approach to establishing pollution standards for power plants under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, the proposed standards are based on technologies such as
carbon capture and sequestration/storage
(CCS)low-GHG hydrogen co-firing”

https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/greenhouse-gas-standards-and-guidelines-fossil-fuel-fired-power

“Base load affected facilities that follow the CCS pathway must meet a second phase standard based on 90% capture of CO2, using CCS, by 2035”

“Baseload affected facilities that follow the low-GHG hydrogen pathway must meet a second phase standard based on co-firing 30% low-GHG hydrogen by volume by 2032 and a third phase standard based on cofiring 96% by volume low-GHG hydrogen by 2038”

Why not do things the smart way; let the Capital System with supply and demand determining the market?

Personally, I would never get one, but I can see how an EV could just about meet your needs IF you live in a big city and don’t plan to take any long trips or drive outside the city much. (this would be a lot easier in a 2 car family if the other car were an internal combustion engine car).

Its impractical for me and impractical for most people due to needing to haul things, needing to take long trips or living in places that get extremely cold. So I will never get one.

This push by government and Gaia worshipers to get everybody to buy an EV is both laughable and insane.

Oh by the way, we don’t have anything like the capacity needed in the electricity grid to charge up everybody’s cars if we went fully electric for our cars.
