Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda: “Silent Majority” of automakers not fully sold on electric vehicles

“Because the right answer is still unclear, we shouldn’t limit ourselves to just one option,” he added

Newsroom December 22 08:01

The head of the world’s largest automaker said this week that he remains skeptical of trying to move to only producing electric vehicles and that the majority of people who work in the auto industry agree with him.

Toyota Motor chief Akio Toyoda made the remarks while speaking to reporters during a visit to Thailand.

“People involved in the auto industry are largely a silent majority,” Toyoda said. “That silent majority is wondering whether EVs are really OK to have as a single option. But they think it’s the trend so they can’t speak out loudly.”

“Because the right answer is still unclear, we shouldn’t limit ourselves to just one option,” he added.
