The Great Debate: Electric vs. Hybrid Cars – Who’s Cleaner? A Stirring Statement by Toyota’s Chairman.
“In a thought-provoking statement, Toyota’s Chairman, Akio Toyoda, sparked debate around the environmental impact of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). During an interview in April, he asserted, ‘The carbon emissions of 9 million BEVs are equivalent to those of 27 million hybrid vehicles.’ This bold claim invites scrutiny and discussion, challenging us to reconsider the assumptions around the sustainability of electric cars.”
