While automakers are starting to embrace electric cars, Toyota is best known for its revolutionary hybrid-electric cars – a segment the Japanese automaker will continue to prioritize over the next ten years and beyond, despite the onslaught of EVs flooding the market. &quot;We believe that hybrids will come ahead of full electrics,&quot; Shinzuo Abe, Toyota&#39;s executive general manager of Toyota&#39;s powertrain division, said in an interview with Wards Auto. Though the company recognizes that some companies are focusing on pure EVs.

Toyota &quot;We believe that our biggest weapon for meeting fuel-efficiency and CO2 regulations, not just in Europe but globally, will continue to be hybrids,&quot; he continued. Abe said Toyota expects sales of conventional hybrids to hit four million units in 2030 out of a total 10 million units.

While Toyota is planning to launch 10 new EVs in the near future, the automaker only expects to sell &quot;several hundred thousand&quot; units in 2030. Why is Toyota reluctant to jump on the EV bandwagon? Abe believes the biggest problem with EVs right now is lithium batteries because they&#39;re expensive, large and heavy.

Toyota He&#39;s also unhappy with their &quot;deterioration characteristics,&quot; as batteries lose capacity over time and the inconvenience of having to charge them up. &quot;We need to make it possible for users to charge their cars with no inconvenience,&quot; he said.

According to Abe, if Toyota developed a Prius-sized electric car it would require a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery to have a range of around 250 miles. The battery could cost between $7,338 and $9,173, and even if batteries prices were halved by 2025 he still doesn&#39;t think pure electric cars would have mass appeal. &quot;It is not so simple as the cost of batteries coming down.

The cars themselves must appeal to consumers,&quot; he said. Toyota Abe clearly isn&#39;t a fan of lithium-ion batteries, but he&#39;s much more enamoured with high-performance solid state batteries and said Toyota intends to start producing them &quot;as soon as possible.&quot; Reports had suggested Toyota will introduce a solid state EV in the early 2020s, but Abe admitted that it won&#39;t be possible to mass produce them in that time and that 2030 is a &quot;more realistic timeframe.&quot; Toyota Toyota Toyota Toyota <h4>Join The Discussion</h4> Show Comments (4) <h4>Gallery</h4> 7 Photos Tags: #Toyota News #Electric Vehicles #Scoop <h4>Related Cars</h4> Toyota Prius LoginSign Up Home News Features Car Reviews Car Advice 2021 CarBuzz Awards New Cars Used Cars Future Cars Compare Cars Sell My Car Car Dealerships Buy Here Pay Here Used Car Reviews Popular Tags Cars # Video # TOP # Spy Shots # Reveal # Rumor # Auto Show # Supercar # Tuning # Car Culture # Industry News # Motorsport Acura Alfa Romeo Aston Martin Audi Bentley BMW Bollinger Bugatti Buick Cadillac Caterham Chevrolet Chrysler Dodge Ferrari Fiat Fisker Ford Genesis GMC Hennessey Honda Hyundai Infiniti Jaguar Jeep Karma Kia Koenigsegg Lamborghini Land Rover Lexus Lincoln Lordstown Lotus Lucid Motors Maserati Mazda McLaren Mercedes-Benz Mini Mitsubishi Nissan Pagani Polestar Porsche Ram Rimac Rivian Rolls-Royce Spyker Subaru Tesla Toyota Volkswagen Volvo By Make Acura Alfa Romeo Aston Martin Audi Bentley BMW Bollinger Bugatti Buick Cadillac Caterham Chevrolet Chrysler Dodge Ferrari Fiat Fisker Ford Genesis GMC Hennessey Honda Hyundai Infiniti Jaguar Jeep Karma Kia Koenigsegg Lamborghini Land Rover Lexus Lincoln Lordstown Lotus Lucid Motors Maserati Mazda McLaren Mercedes-Benz Mini Mitsubishi Nissan Pagani Polestar Porsche Ram Rimac Rivian Rolls-Royce Spyker Subaru Tesla Toyota Volkswagen Volvo By Car Type SUVs Crossovers Sedans Coupes Trucks Sports Cars Wagons Vans Hatchbacks Convertibles Small Cars Luxury Cars Electric Cars Hybrid Cars Future Cars By Price Up to $15K $15K - $25K $25K - $35K $35K - $45K $45K - $55K $55K - $75K $75K - $100K $100K - $200K $200K - $300K Above $300K Back To Top
