Pure electric cars are actually not environmentally friendly? Toyota Motor President tells you why…

Japan’s Toyota Motor President Akio Toyoda recently, as the president of the Japan Automobile Workers Union, said that pure electric vehicles (EV) life cycle emissions of carbon dioxide more than imagined, it is difficult to achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions, intended to prevent The Japanese government to accelerate the promotion of full EV. In addition to environmental factors, Toyota stood up “against” the government behind there is another reason.

Toyota Zhangao pointed out that if Japan’s cars are fully converted to pure electric vehicles, the country’s peak electricity consumption will increase by 10% to 15%, which is equal to the construction of 10 new nuclear power plant generating units or an increase of 20 thermal power generating units. To fill the battery of a pure tram, it takes a week of electricity consumption of a family. In other words, until the proportion of electricity generation sources is significantly changed, pure electric vehicles are still emitting large amounts of CO2 indirectly.
