    Toyota Hops Aboard the Electric Bandwagon

      Toyota adds electric vehicle development to their portfolio

    While most auto manufacturers are betting on electrics as the future, Toyota believes that fuel cells are the answer. But fuel cells have a number of issues, with the biggest one being the lack of infrastructure. So it is surprising that Toyota announced yesterday that would be adding the development of electric vehicles to their green portfolio.

    "We want to get ready to consider the future release of electric vehicles," said Toyota's Executive Vice President Takahiko Ijichi.

    Ijichi said fuel cells are still the priority for the brand, but adding electrics is important as various markets have conditions surrounding energy and infrastructure. The Nikkei Asian Review says the company will start up an internal group focusing on the EV planning and development next year. Toyota will be accelerating development of various parts to play catch up with other automakers.

    It is expected that the first Toyota EV will roll out in 2020.

      Wasn't familiar w/ Rival Sons, will have to check them out...I like those two clips.  I saw a tour ad for them, saw that Fu Manchu was opening for them....I remember liking Fu Manchu in the 90s.  Which suddenly seems like a long time ago..

      I'm starting to sour on Starbucks.  It has been going on for a while.  I went in and a grande (medium) Earl Grey hot tea cost me $3.75.  That's 2 bags of Earl Grey tea, hot water, a paper cup with a plastic lid, and labor ... and just how much overhead and planned profit? Not only that, they are lowering the bar on their employees who are getting dumb and dumber.

      * Anyone remember me!? Been almost 2 years since I visited and posted. Life is short and unpredictable; treasure every moment. I logged into social media Saturday afternoon (09.14.2024) for the 1st time in over a year and quickly discovered a few more friends had died. One in particular from my "heart circles", Lorraine, was 1 of the 1st to meet up with me after Dan's death because she knew we'd be laughing hysterically as usual from our conversational topics; laughter was surely needed. Another, Rich, from my automotive and Route 66 circles, had shown me his 1973 Monte Carlo he bought brand new when I visited him the 1st time during my 2009 Route 66 road trip (15 years ago now); at the time, it was in his barn and covered in dust, but he'd recently gotten it out and I never had a chance to see it in person. NEW LAW Read about a new piece of legislation I sparked with inquiries about processes following a death: https://patch.com/illinois/elgin/rep-moeller-sen-edly-allen-work-save-lives-fentanyl-law-nodx BACK ON WRMN I am sssoooo excited to announce I have returned to the airwaves, LIVE every Saturday night, 7p-9p US central, on my hometown radio station, Elgin's 1410 AM. You can hear me ANYWHERE online or via mobile app. Check out the details, along with the playlist from the 1st broadcast last Saturday, 09.14.2024: https://www.cdshowcase.com/2024-cd-showcase/   PEACE | Cort, pig and cow valves with pacemaker 2003 MGM LS + 1981 cmc SC; need 1975 Chrysler Cordoba "I ain't ready for the junkyard yet" | George Jones | 'I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair'
