The challenge with sustainability is as you change the focal length of the lense you use , the problem statement itself changes !

Interesting
Hybrids use batteries too in addition to ICE?
Toyota is one of the few companies that has promoted Hybrid tech in their vehicles and not a full EV so far I think.
I guess time will tell which tech will prevail.
I am just glad the Toyota chairman’s calculations and math are centred around pollution and thus Climate.

yes but their capacity is around 90% smaller and they reuse wasted power from petrol as well as consume when the IC engine is most inefficient and hence giving double the fuel efficiency.

Yes.
Wonder why others are not going this route? Need to research more on this aspect.
To my understanding of the performance of hybrid cars they use reserve battery power at low speeds and in city traffic area (a good thing) and their overall mileage is better by about 3-4 km compared to the same models with ICEs. But I may be wrong

Its more than 3-4km in the real world i think but yeah its high.
problem is none of us know reality. economic interests have taken over both the conventional energy as well as the alternate. Moment Russian gas got expensive and power became an issue, europe was happy to move Nuclear energy to sustainable...and then there is the annual conferences like Davos which is the least bit sustainable in itself

We live in a world of irony where the rich keep getting rich and the politicians more powerful by keeping intelligent people engaged in debates and fights over issues where they profit from either ways.

Actually the railways in Mumbai are the lifeline and functioning is really great . Tickets are very cheap with trains generally coming in at every 3 mins frequency although AC trains are few.
But the main crux of the situation is our over population which has an omnipresent detrimental effect seen across everything.
