“Customers — not regulations or politics — should make that decision» to buy an electric vehicle, according to the latest report on Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda. Despite generous government subsidies for the manufacture and purchase of electric vehicles, Toyota has concentrated its research and development on other alternative power trains, like hybrids and hydrogen fuel cells.
“I have continued to say what I see as reality… if regulations are created based on ideals,” Toyoda said in a similar statement last year. «It is regular users who are the ones who suffer,” like the billion Earthlings who live without electricity, as Toyoda said this week.
Despite his opposition to EV mandates, lefties and other would-be world-savers ought to love Mr. Toyoda, who sounds like a committed panicmonger when he says that «the enemy is CO2.» But then, much to the left’s chagrin, he also says he favors a «multi-pathway approach» to reducing reliance on gas and diesel.
But there’s too much private grift and government graft dependent on our «necessary transition» to EVs to allow for Toyoda’s multi-pathway approach.
