Man, they’re really bad at this, huh? Any person could see the rise of plug-in vehicles, companies just had to plan for it…
Its not just them, it’s all Japanese manufacturers. Honda, Toyota, Suzuki (in India), etc. are sticking to IC for far too long. This keeps the door open for Chinese companies to take lead.
Motorinc had a great discussion on the subject. Although they’re talking about India, its pretty similar across the world: their management is far too structured with the “system” doing the long term thinking, instead of inspiring visionaries.
They have plug in vehicles. I personally have a rav4 prime. It’s a fantastic vehicle especially for anyone that doesn’t want to deal with the drawbacks of EV road trips.
Because their mythical battery tech they keep hyping is all lies
