And, a recent tour of one of the Asian powerhouse’s vehicle plants has proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt, at least to Honda President and CEO Toshihiro Mibe.
“We have no chance against this,” Mibe said upon a visit to a Shanghai parts factory, commenting on its seamless automation across all levels of production. Logistics, procurement and all aspects of the process were so automated, in fact, that he did not spot a single human worker on the supplier’s floor.
Ford executives saying even three years ago that China was way ahead of the game
Toyota’s CEO has likewise said regarding not just his company, but the industry in general, “unless things change, we will not survive”
I want to buy an EV from Honda,Toyota or Ford. But all their options suck. I feel like I’m just idlly waiting for them to get their shit together.
I’ve read very good things about hiunday. Skoda is also very good, almost bought it.
Hyundai has had chronic problems with their ICCU failing, but they have extended warranties to 15 years and 180,000 miles where Detroit would have just waited for a class action suit.
You’re in for a long wait, the Ford Mustang EV was decent and that’s about it.
I’ve got an MME GT, and it’s been great.
Disappointed that the only market segment for EVs right now is crossovers. I would have much rather purchased a smaller more efficient and city friendly EV.
I’d kill for the CR-Z, or Civic coupe to come back as an EV.
