Toyota Says Data Proves EV-Only Policy Is Worse For The Planet

I tried to see the actual data not the synopsis keeps ending up behind a paywall. Doesn't matter either way just proves Toyota has zero intention on changing their strategy.

This took place at the World Economic Forum, which was hosted a week before Akio resigned. Have to keep up the facade until the last minute.

Its timing, the EQS wasn't out when I got my S Class. If the EQS looked and felt like an S Class, I absolutely would get one next time.

because it’s too late to develop their own tech now, there will be no ROI. 15 years too late.
