The irony of the ZEV states
The irony of the ZEV states getting Toyota's hottest new product is that Toyota sided with the administration in opposing the rights of California to set its own air quality standards.
The plain fact is that absent regulation the market would not have delivered the astonishing leaps in ICE technology and the incentives for EV breakthroughs that actually help the US become independent form foreign oil. Now, Toyota stands to benefit directly from this regulation. In addition its dealers will be making mad markups on the car and will sell every one they get.
