Toyota say they can make 90 hybrids using the same raw materials as one BEV or six PHEVs, leading to a 37-fold reduction in lifetime carbon emissions .
There’s the rub. ‘The market’ is demanding EVs with massive range-per-charge, leading to huuuge batteries (of which only 10% capacity is used, most of the time) and high prices. It’s all a bit crazy.

The market wants more Chevy Bolts. They didn’t have a 200 mile range. The market wants them so badly that GM unkilled the production line.
Of course they’re on the same EV platform as all of the other GM BEVs that’s a lemon lottery.
Volvo is going to beat the pants off this market with their 36k EV. Assuming of course our government doesn’t swoop in to protect GM and Ford.
Because protecting American car makers has worked so well the last time they tried…
