Long-Range EVs Are The Antithesis Of Efficiency And Sustainability
"...our planet can’t produce enough technology metals to accommodate a widespread transition to electric drive. Making a few hundred thousand or even a few million EVs a year isn't a major problem, but a global transition to an all-electric future is a pipe-dream, a quantum leap from the possible to the absurd, a fairy castle in the sky."
Long-Range EVs Are The Antithesis Of Efficiency And Sustainability | Seeking Alpha
This article agrees with Emissions Analytics that hybrids are a better way to go than long range EVs. Batteries and the materials to make them are limited. From the climate change and overall sustainability points of view, Toyota is right to push mass-market hybrids instead of EVs.Prius Pete Jun 20, 2019 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 8,975 Likes: 1 Replies: 115 -

Hybrids offer fastest route to reduce CO2, says Emissions Analytics
"Plug-in hybrids are the next most effective after that, but only if they are operated entirely on battery, which is hard to enforce in practice."

Toyota to tie up with China's CATL on electric vehicles, with EVs making up half of sales by 2025
June 7, 2019 Japan Times - Toyota Motor Corp. aims to have half of its global sales come from electrified vehicles by 2025, five years ahead of schedule, and has said it will tie up with Chinese battery-makers to accommodate an accelerated shift to electric power.
There “may be a gap” between Toyota’s battery needs and what it can produce, as stringent emissions regulations expected in Europe, Japan and China fuel demand, Executive Vice President Shigeki Terashi told a briefing.
Hybrid vehicle sales volumes are projected to be less than battery EV volumes by 2025, with the latter expected to still be fewer than 1 million vehicles, he said.
Note: Terashi has been head of Toyota’s Advanced R&D group since January 2018.

Toyota pulls forward electrification plan, eyes solid-state battery next year
June 7, 2019 TOKYO -- Toyota is ramping up electric vehicle deployment plans, pulling forward its goal of selling 5.5 million electrified vehicles by five years and aiming to develop a solid-state battery by next summer (i.e. summer 2020) as it races to meet a "sudden surge" of EV popularization.
Executive Vice President Shigeki Terashi, Toyota's r&d chief, outlined the new roadmap in a June 7 briefing about the company's EV plans.
"If possible, by the time we have the Olympic games next year, we would like to make sure that a solid-state battery can be unveiled to the public," Terashi said.
Indeed, Terashi cited a "sudden surge" in their popularization for revising the EV rollout.
"Progress has surpassed the target," Terashi said. "We have entered a new age."
Terashi said, adding that a new approach was crucial. "Unless we work on this at a very accelerated manner, we will not be able to ensure our future survival."

Opel/Vauxhall Corsa BEV
So what do people think of Opel`s new EV?
Price=30k dollars
50KWT battery with range 330KM WLTP (which is most likely around 205km in real life)
