While I certainly not agree on single EV is as dirty as three hybrids, I do agree that there is no rush to phase out ICE car too quickly...

BUT, Toyota really should start more invests in EV as EV really is the future here.

People just does not realize that most electrical power is generated from coal and the pollution from coal is much deadlier than previously thought. Study shows that the the pollution from coal to power the EV is more than the pollution generated by car powered by petrol. Furthermore, soon car batteries probably will become another pollution problem.  laugh.gif

Green method include hydro, solar and nuclear.

But those green method really not yet as established as coal...

I think ultimately Toyota ops for Hydrogen technology as their green technology is due to they can use back most of existing gasoline ICE engine parts for Hydrogen ICE Cars which in turn maintain the current Eco-system that they had built over the years while still cater to the green part...
