At one point, about twenty years ago, Toyota was one of a handful of car companies that really seemed to be interested in making the transition to cleaner, greener vehicles. In fact, at the time we'd got a lot of hope for Toyota's brave new world of hybrid and all-electric vehicles. But in the time since, Toyota has become increasingly sour on electric vehicles, worked to dismiss and discredit them with increasingly alarming regularity - and just last week was arguing why it's impossible to ban internal combustion engine vehicles yet. We're here to argue why Toyota is wrong - and try to figure out where some of its misgivings, misinformation, and old-fashioned views come from.
