Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda has reignited the global debate on electric vehicles, claiming that EVs may actually increase emissions—especially in countries that rely on fossil fuels for electricity. According to Toyoda, producing and charging EVs on coal-heavy grids could make them "dirtier than hybrids", citing data that one electric car generates the same carbon footprint as three hybrid vehicles. Despite the controversy, Toyota isn’t exiting the EV race. The company is expanding its bZ electric lineup, enhancing Lexus EVs, and exploring hydrogen combustion tech with BMW. Yet, Toyoda insists hybrids and synthetic fuels offer a faster and more realistic path to decarbonization without risking economic fallout. With Toyota still leading the auto industry in global sales, the question looms: Are EVs the future—or just one part of it? #Toyota #HybridVsEV #EVDebate #AkioToyoda #GreenTech

While the industry sprints toward electric, Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda is holding the line for combustion. A lifelong motorsport enthusiast, Toyoda says the soul of a sports car lives in the roar of an engine and the scent of burning fuel—not silence and charge times. He’s not anti-EV—but until the tech delivers real performance and endurance, he’s staying loyal to gas-powered thrills. “You won’t go around the track for more than an hour,” he warned about today’s EV limitations. A bold stance in a world gone quiet. Here’s why Toyoda’s message is firing up car lovers: #Toyota #AkioToyoda #CarCulture #GasPower #EVvsICE #SaveTheManuals

Meet the mini EV that’s flipping Japan’s auto industry upside down — not with horsepower, but with smart pricing. Priced at just $7,000, this compact electric car has officially outsold every Toyota EV model in Japan, proving that affordability and practicality are now king. With a modest battery range perfect for short city trips, ultra-low maintenance, and compact parking ease, it's winning over retirees, students, and urban commuters alike. Japan’s crowded cities don’t need 300-mile range or massive infotainment systems — they need efficiency that fits in tight spaces and tight budgets. While automakers scramble for high-tech dominance, this little EV quietly did what giants couldn’t: win the streets. #MiniEV #EVRevolution #AffordableElectric #JapanTech #UrbanMobility #ElectricCar

For him, the roar of an engine, the feel of a gearshift, and the scent of fuel aren’t outdated—they’re sacred. Toyoda believes EVs are crucial for everyday life, but sports cars should remain raw, loud, and emotional. His vision? A future where combustion-powered machines still have a lane—not for efficiency, but for passion. Not everything has to go silent. Here’s why Toyoda says driving should still make your heart race — #AkioToyoda #ToyotaSportsCars #SaveTheManuals #DrivingPassion #CarCulture #FutureOfDriving #MechanicalSoul
