摘要
Toyota was the pioneer of the EV industry. They were one of the first companies to lean into hybrid vehicles with the Prius and they even invested in Tesla in the early 2010s. But, over the past several years, Toyota hasn’t exactly been the most supportive of EVs. In fact, they’ve kind of become an opposer given that they’ve not only held back on launching fully electric vehicles but, they’ve also been lobbying against EVs. At first glance, this might seem like Toyota has become an evil corporation looking to maximize on their gas vehicles, but like with most things in life, there’s another side to the story. You see, Toyota isn’t against clean energy. They simply believe that hydrogen cell vehicles are the way to go. Toyota has been investing heavily into hydrogen fuel cells and they even supplied the Tokyo Olympics with hydrogen-fueled busses and cars. From a Western perspective, this might seem like a misguided move given that EVs appear to be superior from almost every perspective. However, from a Japanese perspective, hydrogen is quite desirable given that country’s energy crisis and their abundant hydrogen deposits. This video explains why Toyota has refused to jump onto the EV bandwagon and why their moves are not as misguided as they first appear.
