Oh, Toyota's strategy isnt Cynical, its a deliberate choice by the higher ups to champion hybrid, hydrogen and refuse to join in the EV party- its not some cynical idea that ev's aren't here to stay or wont take off.
Well, unless you want to go on long distance trips or wont be home for multiple days on end.
As someone who lives in an apartment who cannot charge their EV at home, charging at public 6.6/12kw and fast chargers is more than enough to keep my battery filled, sure its like 2~5x more expensive than charging at your own home, but it's still like 4x cheaper than what I was paying in gas per month comparatively.
I dont think there's a single dedicated charging station in the world that supports that speed of charging either.
I swear every other week I see a new video claiming Hydrogen cars are the future, despite our current tech just being inadequate to give them enough range, and how unsafe they are- ontop of how 95% of the world has next to 0 infrastructure to fuel said hydrogen fuel cars.
That's not to mention the costly & environmentally unfriendly production of hydrogen in the first place which at current production rates could never even if multiplied by multiple degrees- fully support a hydrogen majority of cars on the road.
Hydrogen Cars, the uncleanest, most unpractical and expensive "clean energy!" alternative fuel...
It's depressing because its probably true and even if Toyota did create such a miracle tech, it would be insanely expensive to produce and thus purchase for the consumer. Not to mention with such an insane charge rate it would most likely never reach it due to the charge stations not supporting it and power infrastructure being unable to cope with such a load.
ah shit, I didn't see the f on my small laptop monitor with border buffers for anonymity when I made that comments- whoops >.>
I mean, it's hard to argue against considering how illogical, stupid, petty, corrupt and inept humans usually are, especially our leaders.
Hell no, I'll be avoiding it like the plague, just like the rest of facecuck's services.
Bit late for that turn eh?
