Is the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV just another compliance car?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views5 comments
Toyota has been far from an electric vehicle proponent, preferring instead to opt for hybrids. The Urban Cruiser EV’s release has some wondering if this is a real attempt to get into the EV market or just a way to ease regulations in some regions. Debates have raged online about Toyota's true intentions and commitment to electrification, with the vehicle's specs and Toyota's past stance on EVs to blame. But the long term viability and support for the Urban Cruiser EV is questionable, as is how it stacks up against purpose built EVs from other manufacturers who have been around longer.

So what if it is not compliance? Whether it’s for the right reasons or not, more EVs on the road is a good thing.

It's a smart move, actually. They are testing the waters with the least amount of risk. It’s just a side project if it fails. If it works, they can say they were in the game from the start.

It might have begun as compliance, but once they see the sales numbers I bet they’ll take it seriously. Toyota isn't dumb, they'll go wherever the money is.

It's a rebadged Suzuki, come on. It’s just Toyota slapping their name on it to tick some boxes. But they are still dragging their feet on real EV development.

Nah, I think Toyota is finally waking up to the EV revolution. But they can no longer ignore it, and the Urban Cruiser EV looks like a solid effort.
