This should be marked ‘advert’ for Toyota.
Not one of the largest auto manufacturers but no.1 beating vw.
Germans have turned idiotic under Mutti Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin's best friend. She should be in prison for the rest of her damn life for the tremendous damage she has brought to this country and all of Europe.
Toyota is resisting EVs to stop the company going bust. Most sensible people still want ICE vehicles so building EVs that hardly anyone wants is a dangerous strategy for any company.
there is no rare earth minerals in an EV battery!!! there is however in permanent magnet motors, but they are used also in hybrid and hydrogen cars
Bravo Toyota - 30% EVs in the medium term is real. The regulators and rush by manufacturers to EVs is slowing significantly. Over investment by ICE Manufacturers in EVs leaves them with huge debt....
So what's happening in Norway is just an illusion then????
@@magikindian Norway is unique. Wealthy country, small population, huge revenue for oil reserves, significant govt incentives. China - is the other exception - their objective has wider implications of taking over world car manufacturing. Why are hybrids increasing in popularity worldwide?? Practical in the real world... pioneered by Toyota... wisdom v wishful thinking.
Toyota looking at Kodak, Blackberry, and Nokia.
An average electric vehicle (EV) consumes close to 400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) a month. If we do the maths, an entire city of say 10 million vehicles would need atleast one more power station for addressing incremental electric ⚡️power demand per month with corresponding last mile charging infrastructure on demand. Toyota knew it all along and does not want vehicles stranded or give owners range anxiety.
So adding a new clean energy power station to replace a whole city of combustion vehicles is a bad idea?
It seems the citizens of Norway are very happy with their switch to electric cars. Nobody there wants a return to ICE.
Is this a bot channel? Every comment is liked, regardless of the stance on Toyota or EV/ICE vehicles.
This isn’t a bot channel please
@@Car-Talks Then PLEASE use a human voice rather than an AI one!.
Not surprise as Toyota is late to the EV biz and it will be difficult for them to be profitable in the EV market given the progress by Chinese EV car manufacturers. Most traditional combustion engine auto makers have not invested in EV tech and have been milking the combustion engine biz. Toyota is a fantastic auto co but not sure if it can survive the transformation to EV.
A recent report by Boston Consulting said that most manufacturers lose $6,000 on every EV that they sell. When Toyota produces an EV, it intends to make a profit on each car. Toyota has been producing hybrids for over 25 years with early slow adoption by consumers. Hybrids were a major risk, but Toyota did not bet the company on hybrids like every EV only manufacturer is now doing. If tax credits end, even Tesla is vulnerable in the U.S. Gradualization in EVs isn't a strategy when there is no end game to profitability. Even BYD produces hybrids. Tesla has created a public image of what an EV should be. Toyota could reverse engineer the Tesla, but Toyota's ongoing profitability gives it time. It's not likely with so much global EV investment that Toyota by itself would invent a technically superior EV. Toyota has to target a globally profitable product.
No, it won’t be difficult for them. They could honestly make the switch at any time. The only difficult part is them deciding when to drop their dominance in the sedan market with their ice/hybrid and figuring out how much money they might leave on the table when or if they do abandon the ice/hybrid market. Actually producing EVs is not difficult for them.
Hydrogen is DOA
先見の明....
Google Hainan Island. Hainan is All Electric. Beautiful.❤Hainan. Clean Air Blue Sky.👍
I got a toyota 2002 harrier with v6 it leaking oil on manifold central locking packed up and knock sensor has failed it has only done 125000 kms and it also cuts out when cold on rainy days
Batteries don't need rare earth's. those would be used in electric engines. The same that are used to move the vehicle with fuel cells.
testing ...
Because they know ev it’s a scam , they don’t want to spend billions on nothing
😂😂😂😂 Tesla model Y was the Best selling carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023. Toyota = Kodak Toyota bankrupt before 2029. Toyota like to support BIG OIL 🛢️🔥⛽😷👎👎👎👎
Toyota is here to stay.The ev hype is falling down fast historically it backed off once before and going to repeat that failure. Too many issues with that scam.
@@mikafiltenborg7572 The top 10 list then goes No 2 Toyota Corolla, No 3 Toyota Rav4, No 7 Toyota Camry, No 9 Toyota HiLux with all cars from No 2 to No 10 being ICE vehicles. Toyota has not had to go on a crazy, market defensive, discount rampage as Tesla has. I hardly think Toyota are shaking in their boots. If you present the facts in their entirety Toyota is still kicking the auto-worlds backside and is still the No 1 seller in the world with Tesla getting into No 14 with massive and unsustainable discounting. Tesla = Myspace Tesla minor player by 2029 Tesla unlikely to support Hydrogen Cell, the future that will actually work once properly developed.
Scam? That’s very generic and not descriptive. And technically a Scam is an illegal activity.
@@tonybloomfield5635 please put us on notice when Hydrogen as a furl or Foolcells become mainstream, , I'll give U a clue : we will get to Mars first before that happens😂
The main reason hybrids sell is range anxiety. That is slowly dying out with new battery tech allowing 10 or 15 minute charge and longer & longer range. Toyota had the chance to partner with. Elon Musk, did so, was successful, and strangely ended the alliance. Why? Some day I predict this will be sited as the chief reason Toyota died. The most popular CAR worldwide is Tesla, and no other is close. I watched this podcast because the title indicated it had an answer to Toyota falling form #1 car maker. CLICK BAIT! Nothing new here.
Didn't Tesla just lay off 10 percent of their staff?
It's just a big denial by Toyota! 😅 They just can not accept that many supporting industries of their ICE car should be bankrupt if they switch to BEV. Billion dollars was already invested on it. Late BEV development is one of their mistakes as well.
It's not denial. Rather, Toyota along with the entire Japanese industry don't believe that EVs will solve any of our problems because we import and burn natural gas to produce electricity. Whatever we save in gasoline, we ended up importing and burning more natural gas, which will severely impact the electric grid. EVs may make sense in a country like Iceland where everything is geothermal and electricity is abundant and cheap. It will not make sense for countries that need to burn fossil fuel to produce electricity or have weak energy infrastructure.
The video is too long. The simple one liner reason is coz they are behind in battery tech and battery supply chain. Way way behind. They can't scale fast enough. Thats why now they say EV is bad, EV is bad.
Because Toyota is not good at making batteries which are the key to good EVs.
Exactly
Toyota's lithium-ion batteries are developed, manufactured, and sold by its subsidiary PPES (Prime Planet Energy & Solutions, Inc., a joint venture between Toyota Motor Corporation and Panasonic Corporation). The most important thing is safety. ---- ``absolutely not causing a fire,'' The performance of automobile batteries can sometimes affect people's lives. Although the lithium-ion batteries produced by PPES are compact and can store large amounts of energy, they require extremely advanced technology to handle. For example, the slightest factor, such as the introduction of minute impurities, can cause a fire or malfunction. PPES is equipped with technology and quality control cultivated through many years of experience and achievements, including the Toyota and Panasonic eras, as well as the strength of the people who support them. Employees at PPES are conscious of ``absolutely not causing a fire,'' and work within a thorough quality control system that includes strict control of foreign substances at the micron level and material development at the atomic and molecular level. I'm from Japan.
@@user-uk3mp7mf7u I personally saw a Toyota Corolla caught fire and burnt completely in Texas
How about thinking about engineering and science rather than propaganda. There is no doubt Toyota is doing exactly that. They will come out on top because engineering and science applied correctly always does.
More and more people are going back to fossile for several reasons. If a EV battery breaks after 2-3 years, your car gets wrecked because the battery cost more than the car. There is EV's as new as only 2-3 years on landfills because of broken battery.
None one is coming back. Any proof of your allegation?
@@wavargasmolina It's on news sites in Norway.
Toyota is wrong
Because the can't. Won't be many at Toyotas funeral🤣
😂
Instead of asking why Toyota are not embracing BEVs we should be asking why other manufacturers are. The reason is they have fallen for the climate hoax. The MSM are supporters of this, as are KZhead who will not allow me to give a link to climate the movie...
Battery can 100% recycled. Toyota worried about charging infrastructure. How about hydrogen infrastructure? 😂😂😂😂 Stup*d
Toyota leads the world in the development of buggy whips.....
The ONLY way Toyota will survive is if they are currently sand bagging with top engineers working secretly to prefect a line of world leading EV's with a battery a system they believe will win in the long run and can sell at a lower price and last a normal time frame. If they really really believe their current strategy is a winner ..... they will not survive for the long term ...
Toyota is rolling out bZ3X (smaller SUV) in Europe the bZ5X (larger SUV) in the United States (produced there, along with batteries so it qualifies for tax-credits) and Hilux (EV pickup) in other markets. Claims of not investing in EVs is utter nonsense.
@@john1701a That's because Toyota values their customers more than compliance with Government forced EV agendas.
Toyota sucks.
You're living in the past. EV's are the future and Tesla reigns. Toyota is spiraling down fast and with a bit of luck they won't exist for much longer.
@@frankleal1557Toyota bankrupt before 2029 😊
Most of the benefits of owning an electric vehicle will be gone once the majority use them. The cost to charge them will skyrocket. This is because the government will no longer be getting taxed from gasoline sales. There will be massive regulations. They could even place an electric vehicle tax on your home electricity. It benefits you financially to keep these vehicles as niche as physically possible for the time being.
You're a freak. Toyota builds the most reliable cars on any road.
Toyota's bankruptcy plan 😂
But it is the companies who are making EVs who are losing money on them and going bust!
Utter and complete rubbish
