Toyota Warns About Electrifying All Autos. Is Anyone Listening?

Toyota is actually a major car manufacturer in the United States; in 2016 it made about 81% of the cars it sold in the U.S. right here in its nearly half a dozen American plants.

Toyota was among the first to introduce gas-electric hybrid cars into the market, with the Prius twenty years ago.

Toyota has grown by building reliable cars for decades.

When Toyota offers an opinion on the car market, it's probably worth listening to.

Toyota warns that the grid and infrastructure simply aren't there to support the electrification of the private car fleet.

That's about six times the current number of electric cars but no one is talking about supporting just 7 million cars.

We will need much more generation capacity to power about 300 million cars if we're all going to be forced to drive electric cars.
