yes i just read it. places without electricity account for 70% of sales? c'mon. people in those places don't buy new cars often. he's covering for their mistake in falling behind. At a recent Toyota company event, Toyoda gave some rationality to his disbeliefs towards battery electric vehicles (BEVs), noting that much has to be done in order to have an functioning ecosystem that supports its seamless use. "BEVs and FCEVs [fuel cell vehicles] come as a set with infrastructure," Toyoda said in a statement translated from Japanese. "However, one billion people around the world live in areas without electricity. In the case of Toyota, we also supply vehicles to these regions, so a single BEV option cannot provide transportation for everyone." The chairman claimed that since the introduction of hybrid cars in its domestic market, Japan has reduced its CO2 emissions by 23%. Emphasizing the belief of "freedom of movement," he had a very stark prediction about the future of electric vehicles. well, at least we've ascertained that alpo is full of shite

in what period of time? assuming 50% of production is ev? link? love the comments here: this one especially: In 1980, McKinsey & Company was commissioned by AT&T (whose Bell Labs had invented cellular telephony) to forecast cell phone penetration in the U.S. by 2000. The consultant's prediction, 900,000 subscribers, was less than 1% of the actual figure, 109 Million. Based on this legendary mistake, AT&T decided there was not much future to these toys. A decade later, to rejoin the cellular market, AT&T had to acquire McCaw Cellular for $12.6 Billion. By 2011, the number of subscribers worldwide had surpassed 5 Billion and cellular communication had become an unprecedented technological revolution.

no. it says that all electric vehicles emit less than 1/5 the emissions of all gas vehicles taking into account the energy source used to charge them. problems with reading too? "Conventional vehicles with an internal combustion engine (ICE) produce direct emissions through the tailpipe, as well as through evaporation from the vehicle's fuel system and during the fueling process. Conversely, all-electric vehicles produce zero direct emissions. PHEVs produce zero direct emissions when they are in all-electric mode, but they can produce evaporative emissions. When using the ICE, PHEVs produce tailpipe emissions. However, their direct emissions are typically lower than those of comparable conventional vehicles. Well-to-wheel emissions include all emissions related to fuel production, processing, distribution, and use. In the case of gasoline, emissions are produced while extracting petroleum from the earth, refining it, distributing the fuel to stations, and burning it in vehicles. In the case of electricity, most electric power plants produce emissions, and there are additional emissions associated with the extraction, processing, and distribution of the primary energy sources they use for electricity production. Cradle-to-grave emissions include all emissions considered on a well-to-wheel basis as well as vehicle-cycle emissions associated with vehicle and battery manufacturing, recycling, and disposal."

New blood test for Alzheimers
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Joe Ferguson forever's topic in Off the Wall
i think it's a no brainer to get the test. we have some decent but not great drugs. they may work better at an earlier stage and the test can detect the disease 20 years before symptoms begin. hope it comes out soon. -
The current mandate is for 50% of NEW vehicles to be zero emissions (x Cali). No one is stopping anyone from driving their new 2030 gas F150 or their 2010 mustang. A majority of Floridians want to be able to buy home insurance and live above water.... I drove several recently: Subaru's new EV is awesome. My fav was the Ford e150. But I bought a WRX for fun and a 6 speed. those are already pretty rare and will disappear with EV's. My next car/truck will definitely be electric. Waing to drive the electric outback in a couple years when they come out.

And the 2024 Race Begins

Great. so let's see him turn down the Koch's money after Nikki gets out. Liar. He needs a much bigger tent, not a small one. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4428148-trump-warns-haley-donors-will-be-permanently-barred-maga-camp/
