I have managed to extract more a bit more detail. Also noticing that the EV 5 Seater SUV looks much better than the RX without the stupid nose.

The ones in the back, or the dark grey ones, are all ICE, so gas. This is either the new ES (most likely) or the new GS (not very likely). And all of the concepts shown are all coming by 2030 or 2035. I think you’re mixing up Infiniti with Lexus, Lexus actually delivers their concept cars.

I’m pretty sure the dark grey concepts in the back are all gas or hybrid cars. The light grey ones are BEV.

Other than Tesla.. hyundai and rivian are the standouts who can make a decent EV system. the rest are straining to get 120 miles range and even if they can, they charge incredibly slow or have a lot of reliability issues.

Given the current state of electric vehicles, this comment hasn't aged very well. Toyota and their decision to stick with hybrids has turned into a moneymaker! All the other manufacturers have announced within the past couple of weeks they are switching back to hybrids.

Given the current state of EVs, would you like to redo your statement?

Reality setting in. The downsides should be on a written statement that every customer signs acknowledging reading which will never happen. For one charging at recommended % charge (not 100%) driving at night with lights on and 20 degrees outside will greatly reduce your range. Another would be if going on a trip to plan ahead for charging stations and when get there hope there is one working and able to do the fast charge. Reality set in for the Ford CEO when he took a trip and now understands all the concerns. There will be a time for EV but only when the tech and infrastructure vastly improves which they are working on.
