Precision Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 2 hours ago, Roundybout said: Sure but these companies did it to themselves. They fought EV development and now they’re going to be caught with their pants down. We’re watching creative destruction happen in real-time. It will be up to them to adapt. I'm not sure fought is the correct term. Toyota has predicted EV penetration to peak at 30%. Does it make sense to invest large amounts of money into a product that only 30% of customers will purchase? If the penetration is large (which I doubt) ultimately it will be the UAW workers that bear the brunt of the pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Precision said: Toyota has predicted EV penetration to peak at 30%. 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.

Toyota’s chairman doubles down on his electric car skepticism, forecasting that EV adoption will peak at just 30% "The auto executive estimated that around a billion people still live in areas without electricity, which limits the appeal of a battery electric vehicle. Toyoda estimated that fully-electric cars will only capture 30% of the market, with the remainder taken up with hybrids or vehicles that use hydrogen technology." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are areas of the world that will never have the charging infrastructure required to support EV's. The 30% EV penetration number may not be accurate but there will forever be a significant percentage of vehicles sold that in the world that are not EV's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The stock market went up significantly during Trumps Presidency, the Left dismissed it as a nothing more than coattailing off Obama, which it did very well under.

The Nasdaq composite index is up 13.8% under Biden and was up 62% for Trump. https://www.axios.com/2024/01/01/biden-trump-stock-market-performance Now who is coattiling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a towing package on the gm ev. not important to me. I thought it was a great ride. Will do everything i need. maybe in a couple years they'll improve the range with better battery tech. If that comes from China, so be it. We should be able to beat them and I think we will. But MAGA's aint gonna make it happen. Also wondering why residual value on a 2 yr lease is worth 85% of retail if it's such a "turd". Edited January 25 by Joe Ferguson forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do everything i need. maybe in a couple years they'll improve the range with better battery tech. If that comes from China, so be it. Range and charging are important. All of the EV manufacturers jumping on the Tesla supercharger network will help but nobody wants to track down a charging station and then sit there for an hour to charge. Resale value is going to be a concern as well. We might get to the point where we have disposable vehicles as nobody wants to buy a 10 year old EV that only charges to 75% and a new battery costs more than the car. On paper electric could be something but when it comes to work trucks you just can't compromise which is what everyone who owns an EV is doing whether they want to admit it or not. I will be in the market for a truck and it seems dumb to buy a diesel now but that's what I'm probably going to have to do if I want to tow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo + diesel= magic. turbos in gas cars- not so good as I can attest (have blown 3 turbos) but getting better. But these are aimed at early adopters. People who like tech and want to be environmentally conscience. They will make them to suit your needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
