Despite their lofty ambitions for Hydrogen-powered technologies, Toyota seems poised to shed their “sleeping giant” status when it comes to the now-mainstream EV Market. No less than 6 New Toyota EV models will be entering the market in 2020, beginning with China.
Toyota has never revealed it’s long-term plans for alternative energy cars other than continuously developing their Prius Hybrid lineup, along with continued development into what could be the technology to truly take over the gasoline engine one day: hydrogen-powered battery vehicles.
