The simple way to see if the Japanese car market will bounce back is to just look at how well Kodak and Fuji Film and the other brands of Negative and Positive Film manufacturers bounced back once digital became a moving force in the Camera Industry. Not sure how well the Ledger bounced back into use at our local Banks, or the Switchboard at our local Telephone exchange :) Seems that once a new Technology or actually I should say, a better technology comes along, people for some weird reason seem to want to get this better option and no one looks back, I have seen this happen many times over the last 60 years as I am nearly 70 and have noticed the TV take over from the Radio, the Hand crank Tractor and automobile to ones with starter motors, the Milk Man replaced by local supermarkets, in fact all the services we used to have that delivered to our front door, replaced by Ma and Pa local shops or larger Supermarkets. Then once the electronics era came around in the 70's, things just took off with technologies coming and going at a pace never before seen. Now we are on the verge of a new era of change, not just EV's but A.I and the combining of both as well as A.I being incorporated into everything we use. Even my Washing Machine is supposed to have an A.I lol. The next ten years will see things jump at a pace that will make the computer era look like a snail pace :). Funny thing is that at every new move, we have people that will say anything and everything to knock the new, they will take out of context one fault and turn it into the sky is falling for that new and it will fail, instead every time these same deniers or naysayers get proven wrong and they crawl back into their holes until the next new thing. Also I hear more the naysayer garbage from people I haven't talked to in a while when I do catch up and say I am looking at buying an EV, I get straight away, oh no don't buy an EV as they explode into flames all the time and there are no chargers and all the other crap they go on about :)

This reminds me of when flat screens took over. By 1999 the old CRT TVs had finally become really good. They could last for a decade without issue and SONY's Trinitron was the best you could buy. Flat screens came in and at first they were small, expensive, and not that reliable. Then technological advancement happened. Within a decade they were huge, cheap and lasted so long people started to give their old ones away. Sony was late to the party because they kept trying to letterbox and rework Trinitron, their flagship technology. Sony still hasn't recaptured their market position. Same thing is happening with Toyota. Toyota internal combustion engines are the best in the world. They have no equal and can last for a decade or two with proper maintenance and even without it. But they're coming late to the EV movement and that will cost them.

That means over the 10 year life of the car, I’ve saved a minimum of $40k (not assuming any rise in the price of gas). It’s a no-brainer, and my Tesla Model 3 will be arriving soon. No one is forcing me, and I don’t receive an incentive to buy it. It just makes sense.

Tesla sacked over 10,000 staff last year and 5,000 this year. You didn’t report on that or the 1000,00 of teslas under recall last month. Or the 23,000 complaints tesla has received and ignored about its cruise control not working being dangerous. Or that there is a huge demand for Toyota product there is a 4 year wait on one of its Land Cruiser models and over a year wait on some others . Or that hybrids are far more popular and out sell EVs

Obviously it's macro economics that make car sales go down. In fact house sales are down too. Economy is slowing down. Consumers are more and more reluctant to spend . ICE will be around, but right now there is over production. Cheap 'decent' EV's are still a rarity. People are waiting. I know I am.

From what I read in the last 20 years, it seems that the reluctance in the auto-industry in developing the EV market has been influences by one very important factor. The sale of spares. OEM sales has been a massive source of revenue traditionally. There is also the built i-in obsolescence of an ICE vehicle. The heat from the engine ages the vehicle. My suspicion is that most manufacturers needed to establish that they will be able to get the same customer back 5 to 8 years later for a new model. I think this is why they push for DC fast charging and other ways of driving that might deteriorate the range faster. Making the option to purchase a new vehicle after 5 to 8 years all the more attractive. Also, increasing revenue does not automatically imply that your profits are higher. In fact, I suspect that many automakers in the EV space have far lower profit margins on EVs compared to ICE, especially as they fight for market share. What does Volvo's earnings statements say?

@@MartinMenge The EV market is NOT 50% of all vehicles....not even close. So all of these companies gearing up production to meet this mark are going to end up with millions of EV's sitting on the lots unsold. Mark my words...forcing the companies to build vehicles that in the end won't sell is going to drive many into bankruptcy. Only Tesla can make a profit on their EV's and are everyone else are increasing the ICE prices trying to cover the losses. EV's in China sort of makes sense because they have lots of coal electric generation and must import all of their oil....where here in the USA we have plenty of oil and natural gas so we don't need EV's.

As a frugal ageing man, I beg to differ - EVs (from a decent manufacturer) will prove to be far hardier, and long lasting , will f**k those Stealerships in the face, prove the stupidity of marketing "gurus" who have fed off the blood of the consumer for far too long - and will show that those manufacturers who make well designed and long lasting products will do much better, while catering for the consumer, than the predatory business practices of Legacy Auto, and their bloodsucking sidekicks, the Stealerships...

I suspect they are concentrating on markets in the global south where EV adoption will take at least a decade or two longer than in the industrialised (incl. China) world. This should give them time to catch up. But I think China will dominate in EVs for decades to come. There has been enduring efforts, facilitated by the state, to secure supply chains for battery supply. While the west has imposed sanctions on certain nations, especially in Africa, Chinese investors jumped on this to secure mineral rights, buy up mining operations and invest in infrastructure to facilitate beneficiation.

Well that pretty much describes me and almost everyone I know, apart from not caring about resale value, which I dispute. Currently an ICE car loses about 30% of it’s value in the first two years…I don’t see EV’s being much different, and they will last a hell of a lot longer, with far less maintenance, and in my case, completely free cost of fuel (I have rooftop solar). It’s a no-brainer. Also, most families own at least two cars (like us). One is a work horse diesel truck for long trips and camping, the other is the city run-about that never goes more than 100 miles as a round trip…these latter vehicles will all be EV’s soon as there is virtually no cost to charge for many people, or at worst, 50% less running and ownership costs by charging from the grid.

The basic one is that the world is transitioning to EVs and the biggets laggards (based on % of their total sales that are EV's) are the Japanese carmakers Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Mitsubishi etc... Put simply, every EV sold is an ICE car not sold. Given Toyota is the worlds largest automaker, it stands to reason that they are the one most likely to lose sales as the number of EV sales grow worldwide, a business they are not in.

The refine 80% of the worlds lithium. They have 2 of the top 5 battery manufacturing companies. They have demanded for years that any automaker opening a factory in China must have a joint venture partner. That is they have learned and learned and learned. Then they played their best hand. They played the recalcitrant climate sceptic country and laggard. When the world thought they were sleeping, they ramped requirements for new energy vehicles in China. Slowly they are killing legacy automakers but their biggest target is to displace the Japanese, who they have a long history with, and not a good one.
