Ridiculous article. Toyota and other ICE manufacturers understand the realities. Tesla only exists because of the huge subsidies that keep afloat a technology that isn't there by a long shot. Sorry but battery technology is just not there, otherwise Toyota et al. would have already been in the game. Unfortunately, the media and the public has been misled by this push for this technology that has a lot of shortcomings. Serious shortcomings! I was wondering why Toyota et al. hadn't been so aggressive in this market for electric vehicles until I read their evaluations. Those guys are engineers and they are totally right... the battery technology is just not there and you are doing nothing to reduce climate change and use resources sustainably by switching to the inefficient technology of battery-run automobiles.
