從不掩飾對純電動車意興闌珊的 Toyota，在日本政府最新一連串對推廣純電動車的利多政策浮上檯面後已無法按耐，直接重砲抨擊大眾對電動車的錯誤擁護將引發嚴重後果。
Toyota 執行長豐田章男在昨天的集團年終記者會上表示，支持電動車的人並沒有謹慎考慮棄油轉電的成本與為車輛供電所導致的碳排影響，當今電動車的價格都太貴，強渡轉型只會讓更多人買不起新車。
豐田章男還警告，如果全日本的汽車都變成電動車，一到夏天就會把所有的電都用光光，日本必須為電動車的基礎設施付出高達 3580 億美元的建設成本，政府倉促轉型更會搞垮整個汽車產業，讓數百萬人失去工作。
「當政客高喊終止燃油汽車銷售時，他們真的有搞清楚狀況嗎？」豐田章男提出這樣的質疑。
這次豐田的重砲抨擊，是針對日本政府幾項 EV 激勵措施表達不滿，也可能是向世界宣告豐田的立場。
日本首相菅義偉在本月初才表態，日本將在「2030 年中期」停止販售燃油車，此後日本只會販售純電動車或插電油電車，而昨天日本也才宣布將導入 80 億日元用於補助電動車，其中純電動車的補貼金最高達 21.8 萬元，是插電油電車的一倍。
由於特斯拉近年在全球獨領風騷，儘管年產量仍未達 50 萬輛，但不斷攀升的股價已讓電動車光芒萬丈。在上個月，豐田章男就對股價下滑而回擊，表示特斯拉並不是真材實料的汽車製造商，顧客最終會選擇 Toyota。
Toyota’s Chief Says Electric Vehicles Are Overhyped
Akio Toyoda says converting entirely to EVs could cost hundreds of billions of dollars and make cars unaffordable for average people
TOKYO— Toyota Motor Corp.’s leader criticized what he described as excessive hype over electric vehicles, saying advocates failed to consider the carbon emitted by generating electricity and the costs of an EV transition.
Toyota President Akio Toyoda said Japan would run out of electricity in the summer if all cars were running on electric power. The infrastructure needed to support a fleet consisting entirely of EVs would cost Japan between ¥14 trillion and ¥37 trillion, the equivalent of $135 billion to $358 billion, he said.
“When politicians are out there saying, ‘Let’s get rid of all cars using gasoline,’ do they understand this?” Mr. Toyoda said Thursday at a year-end news conference in his capacity as chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association.
He said if Japan is too hasty in banning gasoline-powered cars, “the current business model of the car industry is going to collapse,” causing the loss of millions of jobs.
Advocates of EVs say they can be charged at night when electricity demand is low and, over time, can grow in tandem with other green technologies such as solar power.

.....電動車特斯拉還好,畢竟汽車業硬體該生產還是要生產....智慧型手機打死的行業才多!!
