Certainly. My point is, Tesla is far ahead of the pack in EVs. Tesla is a pure play EV company.

I believe i read somewhere that Toyota is more inclined to pursue and develop their Hybrid systems further, for the foreseeable future.

Edit: Here it is...

Toyota Has a Curious Justification for Not Selling Any EVs (Yet)

I hope they are planning on doubling or tripling the electric grid capacity to power their total electric transportation system. And what source of energy will power those electric plants? EV's are not "pollution free". They just move the source of pollution to a fixed plant. Even wind and solar create "eye pollution" by visually polluting the landscape with massive windmills and solar arrays.

They are going to have brownouts and blackouts, just like California.

If a politician promises you something a year from now, don't hold your breath.
If they promise something 10 years from now.....

UK and most of Europe have polluted their cities by allowing so many diesel cars. How they get so stupid? So now they blame their dirty air on gas cars and (oh) diesel.
