Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I'm not saying that there won't be niche applications like long-haul ice road trucking or zero-emission Nascar races where it could make more sense than batteries, but in general terms Toyota is merely hedging its bets on the vain hope that they can develop a better storage medium before their niche is taken over by compressed liquid petroleum gas powered cars (fartburners).
The situations need not be that extreme to warrant consideration. EV batteries are exploding in the heat of Florida summers, and the batteries barely work in northern winters.
