Toyota has stepped up lobbying to preserve its investments in hybrids, hydrogen
CivBase had a good comment below about why this article may not be properly balanced, and I wanted to add this:<p>I see two things that can stall EV growth:<p>(1) Grid capacity. The US has been taking down nuclear power plants and replacing them with renewables has caused problems in both availability, cost <i>and</i> carbon impact. Ideally we would be able to build clean nuclear power as our grid demands growth from EVs, but it&#x27;s questionable whether we can. Playing this forward, if the nation starts to have brown-outs or the cost of electricity goes up for this reason, people will not buy EVs obviously.<p>(2) There&#x27;s a risk factor that we need to think about as a country. We rely on our vehicles for a lot of really important things - eg emergency services, commuting, business, etc. We have developed fairly robust gasoline supply infrastructure, and it&#x27;s pretty good to know that even if my house&#x2F;town loses electricity, I can still get fuel for my car, get around, travel elsewhere, etc. If we get into a place where our transportation is tightly dependent on our power grid, just as our grid is aging&#x2F;overloading&#x2F;etc, that could be a risk on the personal and national level.<p>These are solvable problems but we need to be solving them. Otherwise, EVs will plateau as more people start to recognize these factors.
