Toyota is moving forward with its plans towards more electric vehicles and less pure internal combustion a vehicles. 

They have a three tiered strategy for this:

Hybrids

Battery Electric Vehicles

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

 

For battery electric, it has partnered with Mazda and Subaru for a model each.  And planning at least 6 vehicles in its electric lineup. 

More and more models are expected to become hybrid only instead of having an ICE alternative. Like the Venza. 

And it looks like they are still giving a push or hydrogen with the Mirai. If the infrastructure was there, I think the Mirai and its hydrogen siblings would take off. But there is no infrastructure. 


Once my corolla dies, I'll definitely get a prius prime if they still exist. While electric and hydrogen are interesting concept, nothing beats filling a full tank of Gas in a few minutes


Yeah, I am not looking forward to this new future. But it’s inevitable.

Toyota wants to have every Toyota & Lexus model to be available as either hybrid, electric, or hydrogen fuel cell.

Lots of manufacturers are going into the electric car market. Lots of places are planning to move away from gasoline cars in the near future. Berkeley is planning to ban new gas and diesel cars by 2027, and the whole state of California has been given an official order to do so by 2035.

Toyota is a large player in this market. Presently they have 75% of the fuel cell market, and 64% of the hybrid and plug-in market. Toyota is shooting to have 70% of their models to be electric by 2030.


I'll definitely keep my eye on a hybrid. Cause the infrastructure is already there. I don't wanna wait for charging


i'll have to act quick to get one of the last gasoline Toyotas then. Lol. Maybe it will have high resale value in the future. Electrics and hybrids suck too; long live pure gasoline cars!
