BEVs are a greenwashing scam. They are frankly just a ploy by corporations to be dependent on their product just like we are to oil. In fact, it’s even worse since it is part of the Chinese government’s agenda to of dominating the car industry. Much of what we hear may legitimately be propaganda from the Chinese government.

Toyota is fundamental correct in their assessment. The BEV is destined for failure since it has no purpose but the serve some specific group or interest. As a result, they’ve invested in alternative ideas such as hydrogen cars. Instead of being the curve, they are likely far ahead of it. It is everyone else that wasting all of their resources on a dead-end.

What nonsense.

Battery power is a technology that is continuing to grow with billions being poured into it from every industry imaginable.

The only people who want garbage like hydrogen are those who want to maintain the status quo of fuel being supplied by a few big producers at a pump.

You’re just promoting BEV propaganda. And being a stooge of the Chinese government, the only group that even benefits from BEVs displacing all local car production. It is not a revolutionary technology. It is an obsolete idea from the 19th century. It is a greenwashing scam to think it has any real merit.

Meanwhile, hydrogen is made from water and represent an actual green technology.

What local car production? There is none in this country.

I want a BEV car because I can charge it for free with the solar panels I already have on my roof. That benefits me - not China.

As for Hydrogen… whatever advantages it has are irrelevant since nobody sells an affordable and practical hydrogen car. I’m sure hydrogen will be a viable option one day, but it’s not right now or in the near future.
