A brief moment in EV history passed us by about a decade ago, when the little-known VIA Motors introduced their lineup of VTRUX hybrid-electric vehicles. Each vehicle would use the VIA plug-in powertrain which turned the existing gas engine into a range extender. VIA was focused on fleet sales and a low cost of ownership.

The 60% surge in new electric vehicle (EV) registrations in Q1 2022 shows that drivers are hungry for change, provided that somewhere to charge is on the menu. We can’t expect the market to move en masse towards electric until the public recharging network matches the landscape for petrol-powered vehicles. Everyone wins.

In a news conference at the Japan National Press Club on Friday, Toyota Motor President Akio Toyoda said that the company plans to begin mass production of electric vehicles in the US in 2012, followed by US production of fuel cell vehicles in 2015. The company is working to develop a low-cost CFRP for a high-pressure hydrogen tank.

The internal combustion engine is a mature technology that’s being superseded by battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The BEVs are becoming cheaper than conventional cars and current technology could already electrify over 70% of transport energy demand and lead to a large reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
