At the annual meeting of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association in December 2020, Toyota Motor President Akio Toyoda publicly stated that pure electric vehicles have been excessively hyped, and the Japanese government has not considered the real carbon dioxide emissions, the impact on electricity, and the impact on electricity. Damage to consumer rights and impact on the traditional automobile industry.

It is understood that Japan will reduce Japan’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by promoting pure electric vehicles by 2050.

Toyoda said that Japan is a country that relies on exports, and manufacturing is the lifeblood of Japan's economy. Japanese automakers produce about 10 million vehicles domestically each year, half of which are for export. By 2030, approximately 8 million vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines will be produced annually by domestic factories in Japan, including fuel vehicles and hybrid vehicles. If the government directly transforms to pure electric vehicles, it will also mean that 8 million car production will be lost every year, which will bring a serious blow to car manufacturers and will make car companies have to make difficult choices or completely Stop the production of diesel locomotives or transfer production overseas. At the same time, such operations will also affect 5.5 million auto jobs in Japan, and most of them will also lose their jobs.

In addition, Toyoda believes that the reckless transition to pure electric will weaken Japan's industrial base, and a more flexible approach should be adopted, which can adapt to local conditions. As long as energy conservation and emission reduction can be achieved, there should be more freedom in which technical route to adopt. After all, the enemy is carbon dioxide, not an internal combustion engine.

At present, many developed countries are trying to restrict the sales of traditional fuel vehicles in advance and formulate a timetable for banning the sale of fuel vehicles. Fiat Group announced the timetable for the suspension of sales of traditional fuel vehicles under its brands in 2017. Starting in 2019, Maserati will only produce pure electric and hybrid models. The Jaguar brand will be transformed into a pure electric vehicle brand in 2025. According to the previous plan, Jaguar will gradually introduce electric vehicles to replace fuel vehicles. Volvo announced that it will be fully electrified by 2025, of which pure electric models will account for 50% of total sales. By 2030, only pure electric vehicles will be sold, and all models will only be sold online by 2040. The Volkswagen Group also stated that all models will be electrified by 2030 at the latest, and sales of traditional fuel vehicles will be completely stopped.

At present, Toyota is considered a member of the "conservative". Akio Toyoda's remarks really caused heated discussions. He looks at the development of electric vehicles more from a national perspective. He believes that if it is not too radical, it will cause losses to workers in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the car and automakers. This will do more harm than good.

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) has become the main energy storage solution in modern social life. Among them, lithium iron phosphate batteries are a perfect substitute for lead-acid batteries and are the first choice for grid-connected peak shaving, off-grid energy storage, photovoltaic energy storage, UPS, data center, and other industries.
