Read the article Usman Bhai shared below

Here are some very interesting highlights

• “Is the market ready? It seems to be, given that no EV maker can currently meet demand.
• Is the infrastructure ready? A DoE study said there is more than enough spare overnight capacity to power EVs, and flexibility in EV charging times or the potential of V2G can help increase grid resiliency.
• Can you afford it? The 2023 Chevy Bolt starts at $25,600 and will have access to the renewed $7,500 EV tax credit and additional state and local credits. There are other low-price EVs available, and the Inflation Reduction Act even includes a $4,000 credit for low-priced used EVs. However, going back to the demand point – prices are high on used EVs right now because demand is so high for EVs.
• But it took 25 years to get to 10% for hybrids! These are EVs, not hybrids – hybrids are a compromise technology, not an end-goal. They offer little change in how people use vehicles since they’re still fueled 100% by gasoline (though they are more efficient, and there are benefits for widespread adoption). Also, we’re already past 10% for EVs in California, and nationwide EV market share is about 5% in the first half of 2022, up from 2.5% last year. Extrapolate that to find out how hard it will be to get to 10%.
• The consumer doesn’t want “30% to 40% by tomorrow.” Per the poll cited above, a majority of US consumers do in fact want stronger regulations than those proposed by the government. And in the most forward-looking country, Norway, consumers have exceeded even the world’s earliest government goals.”

“This is not the first time Toyota has shown ignorance and opposition to the EV market. Executives at various levels in the company have made similar public statements in the past, up to and including Akio Toyoda, the CEO. The company routinely greenwashes and spreads scientifically illiterate anti-EV propaganda, while lobbying against human life and indoctrinating kids against EVs.”

The above para says it all!

Lastly, Toyota didn’t design crap! The Chinese GAVE Toyota a ready product to tack its name on to. You know that! The whole world knows it. But since it is an inconvenient truth that contradicts your self indoctrinated alternate reality, you HAVE to ignore it, belittle it and get angry when you are confronted with it.

Khurram, simple advice; Man up!… and deal with it!!

listen. Toyota has no ev technology. period. if GAC gave them motor, BYD gave them battery & made this for Toyota, whats left? only bodyshell? thats what Toyota actually did, designed a bland looking car. thats it. i bet if they had given design dept. to Byd,, then Byd must have come up with a 100 times better design, just look at BYD Han and then look at this fugly Toyota bz3 👎👎

out of so many chinese car makers, Toyota chose BYD to make them an EV, dont u think its something to appreciate? i think you should stop hating BYD now

isn’t it interesting that bhai Khurram is yet to rant about nosebleeds, forced labor, uyghurs and byd not a successful company in a post thats related to Toyota 😛 does it means byd batteries if installed in a Toyota made by BYD will not produce nosebleeds 😛

“Illiterate” Pakistanis? Khurram, that is a lot of self hatred and projecting! Just because you are the way you are, doesn’t mean every other Pakistani is at your level!

If you hate Pakistanis so much, why do you argue with them on a Pakistani blog about the Pakistani auto industry?

Ah, I see now! That explains why you get your panties all stirred up every time you hear the Chinese making moves in countries where Good Old Toyota wants to stop selling! 😁

we can understand your pain, but i think its time you read this article again 🙂
