It’s one thing to be unsuccessful. It’s one thing to dare to do it.†It’s estimated that Toyota is looking for a long-range electric car with such an attitude.
As emission standards become more stringent, the pressure on various car companies to reduce emissions is also growing. In order to cope with this problem, most car companies have accelerated the development of pure electric vehicles. At present, even Toyota, which did not want to engage in pure electric vehicles, has joined the camp.
According to foreign media reports, Toyota is seeking mass production of long-range electric vehicles, and expects to be listed around 2020. Toyota will set up a team in early 2017 to develop an electric car with a single charge of more than 300 kilometers.
Everyone understands that Japanese cars have always been known as "fuel-saving", and Toyota has always insisted on not using pure electric vehicles because it is difficult to get popular. But nowadays, Toyota's need to add long-range electric vehicles to its product lineup means that the tone of the most promising plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and hydrogen-fueled vehicles (FCVs) has replaced the traditional ones.
In the past few years, many car companies have been increasing the research and development of pure electric vehicles. However, Toyota has always believed that this market is not mature, and is not optimistic about the electric vehicle market. It only wants to exert force on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Because Toyota thinks that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are more advantageous than pure electric vehicles, the main reason is that battery cost is higher than hydrogen fuel, hydrogenation time is less than charging time, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicle has a longer cruising range (for example) : Toyota Mirai has a cruising range of approximately 502km, while Nissan Leaf Electric is only 250km). To this end, Toyota has always set a clear line between the manufacturers of pure electric vehicle tilt strategy.
However, in recent years, countries have introduced restrictions on the adoption of pure electric vehicles and popularization measures, and problems such as cruising range and charging infrastructure have gradually improved.
How can Toyota watch others eat spicy and spicy? Even if it knows that the future of pure electric vehicles is unimaginable, it has to admit that pure electric vehicles have begun to get more attention and support.
According to statistics, the global sales of electric vehicles in the first half of 2016 has accumulated to 306,832 units, an increase of 49% year-on-year. Professionals predict that global sales of electric vehicles are expected to exceed 800,000 units in 2016. These data clearly show that the future of electric vehicles is still considerable.
Therefore, Toyota restarted the mass production plan for pure electric vehicles, hoping to develop a pure electric vehicle with a cruising range of more than 300 kilometers. According to reports, the car will use the same platform as the hybrid car "Prius" and the main model "Corolla". As SUV models are becoming more popular around the world, Toyota is also considering launching pure electric SUVs.
