Toyota's president Akio Toyoda said it will be 'difficult' to meet the requirement of California's new rules banning the sale of gas powered vehicles by 2035.
'Kennedy' panelists Charlie Hurt, Richard Fowler and Spike Cohen discuss reports California Gov. Gavin Newsom will only run in 2024 if President Biden does not.said this week that adhering to California’s plan to ban gas emission vehicles will be "difficult" to achieve, and battery powered cars will take longer to phase in than the "mainstream media" believes.
"Realistically speaking, it seems rather difficult to really achieve them," Toyota Motor Corporation President Akio Toyoda told reporters through a translator on Thursday discussing"But just like the fully autonomous cars that we were all supposed to be driving by now, BEVs are just going to take longer to become mainstream than the media would like us to believe," Toyoda told car dealers at the event.
Toyoda’s comments come after California’s Air Resources Board, at the direction of the state’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, adopted rules that would mandate all new cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs be electric or hydrogen powered by 2035.In August, Toyota said it would boost its planned investment in a new U.S. battery plant from $1.29 billion to $3.8 billion, partly in response to rising consumer demand for electric vehicles.
Toyoda, the grandson of the company's founder, said in Wednesday's video that "playing to win means playing with all the cards in the deck - not just a select few. So that’s our strategy, and we’re sticking to it." / Getty Images) Toyoda compared the automaker to a "department store" selling a variety of vehicles to customers with different needs.
