TOO LITTLE TOO LATE? LET'S DISCUSS TOYOTA AND LEXUS FIRST BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer discusses Toyota and Lexus's slow but eventual entry into the EV market, highlighting their conservative approach and focus on hybrids and fuel cell technology, possibly due to a desire for solid-state batteries and profitability concerns. While acknowledging the current limitations of EVs, particularly range anxiety, the reviewer expresses optimism for future advancements. The discussion touches upon the infotainment systems of Lexus, noting they are falling behind competitors, and praises the potential of future Lexus models like the LF-1 Limitless concept. The reviewer also contrasts the German approach to technology (e.g., Porsche Taycan) with a more minimalist and user-friendly design, which Lexus seems to be aiming for. Overall, the video suggests that while Toyota and Lexus are not leading the EV charge, they are strategically positioning themselves for the future, prioritizing reliability and long-term technological development.
