..how is this possible... the gurus' of Prius Chat roasted Toyota daily for not jumping head over heels onto their EV bandwagon ..could..could the Prius Chat brain trust have possibly been wrong?... it's unthinkable... ...could Toyota have actually been more in tune with the current auto market than Prius Chat posters?........ ..and.. if they were wrong about this, could they also be wrong on other topics?....
or...... could Toyota simply ended up very very lucky that Biden lost? Slowing down free money to EV manufacturers? Causing Toyota to not be the last place losers of ev foot dragers? Same story, different outlook.
OR … Since … this big stupid fvcking issue is at hand, there must be NO need for EV development and/or rebate $$$ for people buying EVs. Because the leader-in-charge is a CONVICTED FRAUD … a 34Xs CONVICTED FELON … a CONVICTED RAPIST … and a CRIMINAL GRIFTER … who gets nothing from ANYTHING GREEN, including EV Production. . [<< Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is asking Congress for roughly $67 billion in emergency supplemental funding to sustain military operations in the war with Iran, restock munitions, and cover operational costs. This $67 billion request is part of a broader White House funding package totaling $87.6 billion in emergency national security and allied needs. Hegseth testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee that the Iran war has cost an estimated $37.5 billion so far. >>]
Funny how the government axing support for EVs and clean cars could lead to a company reducing investment into those products. In other major markets, GM is speeding up electrification(China) and only sells EVs(Europe). Meanwhile, Toyota can boast about huge percentage increases in EV sales because they were selling such little numbers to begin with.
Wasn't that many years ago Toyota was bragging about coming up with a NEW platform - other than the e-tgna due to its more expensive production cost that supports both batteries & their internal COMBUSTION engines. https://insideevs.com/news/661265/toyota-working-on-ev-only-platform/ Makes one wonder if the new political environment is going to cause the new platform to be scuttled all together now, especially for USA customers.
