With the global promotion of new energy vehicles, Akio Toyoda, the head of Toyota Motor Corporation, recently said that the concept of electric vehicles has been over-hyped, because the carbon emissions generated during power generation and the cost of completely transforming into electric vehicles have not been taken into account. Japan is a country that mainly relies on coal and natural gas to generate electricity. Akio Toyoda believes that electric vehicles are not good for the environment. On the contrary, the more electric vehicles are produced, the more serious carbon dioxide emissions will be. According to him, if all cars are powered by electricity, there will be a power shortage in Japan in summer. In addition, if the overall transformation of electric vehicles is to be completed, it is necessary to vigorously build related infrastructure, which will require 14 trillion to 37 trillion yen (about13.5 billion to 358 billion US dollars).
-In fact, it is not only Japanese, but also China, where coal and electricity play a major role.
