Difference between the instant torque we get from motor vs the time take ICU to rev up to the peak torque ?
Maybe have to test drive it or look at the 0-100km/h data
like New Honda City Hybrid , 9.9 seconds to 100km/h for a light sedan is a bit different from other sedan with similar torque
Li-ion seems to be more sexy yeah, but something higher in cost and cost higher to have the surrounding set up in car to baby sit the energy intensive cell.
Also, Toyota seems to have totally different approach on reducing carbon emission where they opt for enhancing existing ICU technology, like hydrogen and hybrid tech. Tat different from full EV from their European and Chinese counterparts.
Seems like only time will tell who would be the mainstream in future, 5, 10, 30, 60, 100 years down the road, leave it to our children

yeah. now is like a fork road for renewable energy path, especially for cars. Some company banking in on Hydrogen (Big oil like Shell), some banking in on full electric. I kinda buy hydrogen more because it is more like ICE approach, dealing with battery waste is another nightmare that we do not want to have. imagine our children have to live with land fill with battery waste and maybe no more plants on ground due to toxic ground thanks to all the batt waste at landfill.
anyway for malaysian i believe 10-20years down the road, ICE still prevalent on the road lol. full EV is too niche in the market, and not for the masses, not unless the cost is sub-100k for EV.
