Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda has once again sparked heated debates with his latest remarks on the environmental sustainability of electric vehicles (EVs). He has consistently maintained that mandating widespread adoption of EVs is premature and that the transition should proceed in a measured manner. Toyoda contends that a rapid shift towards full-scale EV development could have profound implications for the automotive industry, potentially jeopardizing millions of jobs across the supply chain, especially those tied to internal combustion engines.
