Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other Japanese automakers are serious about rolling out battery electric vehicles to catch up with the world’s frontrunners like Tesla and BYD
“We love battery EVs.”
Takero Kato, the executive in charge of electric vehicles at Toyota, said that not once, but twice, to emphasize what he considers the message at this year’s Tokyo auto show.
It’s a message ringing clear at the Tokyo Mobility Show, which will run through Nov. 5 at Tokyo Big Sight hall and where battery-powered electric vehicles are the star at practically every booth.
Good. More EVs on the market will lower prices for people buying their first car or who are worried about making the jump to EVs.
Obviously public transit is better for dense urban areas but for people living rurally or in the suburbs, EVs need to be more accessible.
Oh Nissan… the sex data collector lol
Hey! That telemetry that we didn’t agree to and a good chunk of which was buried in lengthy legal jargon that you have to accept to use the car was necessary. Like Goku’s crowdsourced Spirit Bomb, Nissan collected our sex data to… make sexy cars. Yeah that’s it. Nothing insidious! /s
Your last lines made me laugh ahah nice one!
Toyota and others have been promising solid state battery tech. It’s time for them to deliver yet these plants won’t be ready until 2030. (If they can make it work at all.)
I wish them luck. But they are coming from the rear and have a long way to go.
Don’t worry Tesla will start losing features to bring in parity with it’s competitors

What they need is some big meaty V8’s and turbocharged diesels. These electric toys need to be put away.
