Of Movies And EVs
The latest Avengers movie has Audi EVs in it and for effect, the EVs have, with Audi's help, engine sounds added for dramatic effect! Audi says they helped, since their EVs are to have sounds due to government edict. One of the article commenters said that he thought the cars weren't electric because of the engine sounds. To me, this doesn't sound like much help to the EV cause. I guess you have to give a little to take a little.
With the forthcoming James Bond movie having an EV Aston Martin, makes me wonder if it too will have a growling V12 sound emitting from the theatre speakers. Next, EVs in the Fast And Furious movies.

Lexus plans its first EV for Europe and China
SHANGHAI AUTO SHOW: Lexus plans its first EV for Europe, China push
SHANGHAI — Declaring that a pure electric vehicle is necessary for China and Europe, Lexus International President Yoshihiro Sawa said last week that the luxury brand is working on its first EV.
But exactly what it will be and when it will appear, the Toyota marque is still trying to figure out.
"Definitely here we need an EV in the future," Sawa said last week in an interview at the Shanghai auto show, where Lexus debuted its LM luxury van. "But I cannot say when or how."
China's strict emissions controls and mandates for electric vehicle credits are driving automakers into EVs. And Lexus will also need them in Europe, where certain cities have strict EV requirements, Sawa said. Launch timing will hinge on the course of regulation, he added.telmo744 Apr 23, 2019 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 4,260 Likes: 1 Replies: 31 -

Toyota still balking on EV's

Tesla Model 3 becomes focal point for EV debate between VW and Toyota
Toyota Motor Corp. executive vice president of sales Bob Carter. Addressing the attendees of the event roughly an hour after the Volkswagen executive, Carter argued against all-electric vehicles, stating that EV batteries are still far too expensive to be feasible. The executive stated that Toyota will eventually introduce an all-electric vehicle too, though he declined to give an estimated date for the vehicle’s release.
