What is the difference between pure electric cars and hybrids?
Pure electric cars run on electric power alone. While it is true that they emit zero emissions, there are still significant hurdles ahead before electric cars become viable to a wider audience. At present, they are expensive to produce and purchase, and there is limited infrastructure available to support them. However, Toyota remains committed to best solutions motoring, and we will continue to research and develop alternative technologies, including pure/plug-in electric cars, as part of our worldwide goal to approach zero impact. At present, we believe that hybrid cars offer the best solution, with least compromise, that consumers expect from their motorcar.
