According to U.S. media reports, although electric vehicles are now the focus of attention both inside and outside the automotive industry, Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada believes that before electric vehicles become widespread, vehicle battery technology needs to be broken through before they can be used. Widely accepted by consumers.

Yamada Takeshi’s view is different from those of companies in the automotive industry that want to quickly switch to environmentally friendly technologies. Uchiyamada Takeshi said that if current electric vehicles support long-distance driving, they must be loaded with large batteries, which require a lot of time to charge, and battery life is also a problem. However, with the implementation of laws and regulations that encourage the development of electric vehicles in markets such as China and the United States, automakers can only launch electric vehicles or withdraw from the market. Toyota is no exception, but they suspect that shifting to pure electric vehicles too quickly will bring people more problems than convenience.

He said that two or three technological breakthroughs need to be achieved before electric vehicles become popular. However, electrification is inevitable, and Toyota is also working on developing more advanced car batteries.
