I thought Toyota gave up on their EV battery R&D? Working with CATL for their China Toyota EV version. Before long will adopt for all their Toyota worldwide.

Even plug-in hybrid also Toyota is going to use BYD's engine.

Fyi, Tesla has only a 4% market share in the total overall US car maket in Q1 2025.

In 2024, gas/petrol-powered cars still has a 78%  market share in the total overall US  car market.

Tesla has in some ways eat into the premium market, those bmw 3 and Merc c class market and with incentives and some price cut even eat into the Camry accord market

Percentage alone don't show the most important factor, some ppl that driven ice all their life buys a EV loves EV means they would buy EV for their next car

TLDR:

- Honda forecast until 2030 will be the very early years of EV development.
- 2030-2050 will be the matured and peak period of EVs technology.
- Honda discover that by using electric motor to power the car, they can reduce the car cost massively by omitting/eliminating the costly CVT gearbox. The petrol/diesel engine will be used to just power the elecric motor and small size battery in the near future.
- Honda discovered the latest next gen hybrid tech can significantly reduce the overall cost production of each vehicles.
- ADAS comprehensive safety feature is significantly cheaper and more efficient to be implemented in EV vehicle instead of ICE vehicle.
- Expect Honda to transition to next gen hybrid more aggressively from 2025-2035 before slowly migrating to full EV in the distant future.

* min 31:30 Honda bos reconfirm, mid to long term perspective: EV is the BEST solution. For now they will focus on transitioning tech; next gen hybrid.

YES to Honda's vision of Hybrid cars from 2025-2035, except with the ICE-V car option still available to consumers.

NO to full EV cars = no more new ICE-V cars available, post-2035 because it is mostly driven by government EV Mandate, similar to the foolish govt mandate for MCO and Covid mRNA vaccine, eg no more job or flights available for those who rejected the Covid mRNA vaccine; bc of MCO many businesses went bankrupt or closed shop; a few young and healthy folks committed suicide due to dire financial straits, etc.

Not sure if I misunderstood, but I think Honda will be going with a hybrid EV instead of full EV. It will not only be for charging the battery or it would be very inefficient.

Instead of continuous switching of gears like on a CVT, they use the engine for pickup and vroom vroom. And then switch to the electric motor for cruising.

I think.

They are more successful with hybrids, am using one of their models. Next gen will be batt powered wheels charged by engines, prob 1.3l engine.
