Frank is a statistician. One of the best. He is likely getting his stats from Toyota. They have made the case that in terms of materials used, 90 hybrids = 6 plug in hybrids = one EV. One can ask, "are they afraid of being forced to make EVs?" I doubt it. They say that by 2026 only three years from now, they will be able to put a solid state battery EV on the market that can go 1000 miles on a single charge. The problem? all of the rare earths mines required for both their version as well as the current version of EVs will demand decades of development to replace current fleets. In other words, it can not be done even if the charging infrastructure is put into place (which can not be done by 2035 either). Report: Toyota Can Build 90 Hybrids or 1 EV Toyota Is Right: We Need More Hybrid Cars and Fewer EVs. Here’s Why The auto industry is going all-in on EVs, but a more effective way to lower emissions quickly is staring us in the face.

Qone0, The 1000lb battery weight is less than the rotating weight at a *10 to 1 ratio* in a ICE engine and transmission. What are you talking about? Mass is mass. There is no "10 to 1 ratio" when comparing the mass of a rotating object vs. a stationary object. Nor can you compare the rotational momentum of an ICE vs. the linear momentum of a 1,000lb battery. It just doesn't work that way. The rotational momentum of an engine is converted into the rotational momentum of the tires, which then turns into the linear momentum of the entire vehicle. Every step of the way, momentum is conserved. Tenchusatsu
