Toyota has added $1.3 billion to build electric vehicles, which is no longer "tough", and the United States has also given opportunities
Last year, Japanese automakers were on the cusp of opposing electric vehicles. In their view, no matter in terms of demand, environmental protection or other aspects, electric vehicles cannot replace the era of gasoline vehicles. Toyota is at the forefront.
The reason why they are so opposed is not as rhetorical as it sounds. More of the reason is that in terms of automotive transformation, Toyota entered earlier and was the first company in the world to develop hybrid vehicles. It's just that over the years, their momentum has not been as good as that of Chinese auto companies, which means that Chinese auto has been at the forefront of the electrified car market.
That's why they keep it"Tout"Electric cars even won"Anti-electric vehicles"tags.
However, Toyota will not at this stage"Hard-hitting"。
According to Toyota's official announcement, they will invest an additional 1.3 billion yuan in their main plant in Kentucky, USA, to support Toyota's transition to electric vehicles, including assembling a new three-row battery electric SUV for the U.S. market. It is worth noting that Toyota has invested heavily in this plant before, and now the additional 1.3 billion yuan may be equivalent to nearly 10 billion yuan. This shows that Toyota attaches great importance to the U.S. market, while also targeting a gap in the U.S. electric vehicle market.
Incidentally, the U.S. has also given Toyota the opportunity to transition to electric vehicles and dominate the U.S. market.
As we all know, in the electrified car market, Chinese auto companies are at the top level in terms of both the best chain and battery technology, and have a very big advantage. That's why many U.S. auto companies that are in dire need of transformation are looking for Chinese companies to work with. Even in the field of electric vehicles, Tesla has laid the groundwork and wants to rely on China's automotive ** chain in Mexico to replicate the scale of its Shanghai factory.
However, the United States is sparing no effort to exclone China's battery chain, as well as China's electric vehicles. For example, they stipulate in the relevant bill that vehicles using parts from Chinese battery manufacturers are not eligible for tax deductions. For example, some time ago, they planned to expand the range of components for Chinese battery manufacturers, while banning Chinese electric vehicles from the American market. This has brought many challenges for Chinese auto companies to enter the U.S. market.
All this provides an opportunity for car companies such as Toyota to conquer the American market.
Frankly speaking, Toyota's strength in the automotive field is not weak, otherwise it would not have taken the lead in changing the path of automobile development. It just so happens that the current United States has also introduced variables in the electric vehicle market, so under the excessive action of additional investment and improvement of electric vehicles, Toyota may not be unable to enter the American market with the strength of electric vehicles. Once they enter the U.S. market, there will be less opportunity for Chinese automakers.
This may also be why many national auto giants say that they are not against electric vehicles, but are looking for opportunities to get ahead. At this stage, it is clear that this signal has become more and more obvious, if our Chinese car companies continue"Roll inward"If you don't pay attention to the competition in foreign markets, then it will not be easy to take the lead, and it may be very small.
In short, we must get rid of it"Infighting situation", unite against car companies in foreign markets, which is a direct way to ensure the right to speak for electric vehicles. What are your thoughts on this? Comments, likes, and shares are welcome!
