"Petitioning Toyota To Build Electric Vehicles"

[Robert Weekley ACN]

Hi,

 

"In a recent article in the LA Times, Craig Scott, Toyota’s national manager of advanced technologies made this statement by that has us scratching our heads:"

“And no one is coming to our door asking us to build a new electric car.”

Personally - I can say that at EV Fest 2012, there was a great interest in the RAV4 EV, and a big backlash at Toyota (Reps at the show) for not allowing sales of it in Ontario, at least - where it was made! In reviewing it in online stories, it seems the only Error made by Toyota: Limiting it's availability to California, Limiting it to Just AC Only Charging with no DC Quick Charger Access (Either CHAdeMO, or even SAE-CCS), or Supercharger Access, and - telling everyone - they don't like EV's for general vehicles, only for short range commuters.

 

Since we have seen what Tesla has discovered with the new Dual Motor, and the enhanced range that delivered, among other elements, Toyota could also develop improved Driveline Systems in Battery Electric Vehicles as well, if they were not distracted by a little thing called Hydrogen, and - the '5 minute Gas & Go' which is generally not true even in the gas world, in reality!

 

 

A Response - has been triggered! From Inside EV's - "Petition to Toyota to Build Electric Vehicles" (I presume - BEV's) http://bit.ly/13RxQ0u
