It's more like the shift from carburetors to fuel injection. Hybrid powertrains are definitely the future, but until we reach a point where infrastructure and battery technology can support fully electric vehicles, we'll be keeping the gasoline engine around. <cite>treewojima posted [p:890681791] in Mazda is b...

Hybrid powertrains are definitely the future, but until we reach a point where infrastructure and battery technology can support fully electric vehicles, we'll be keeping the gasoline engine around. It totally can support it though. Well, not this exact instant, but it's very easy to accommodate since literally every business operation has electricity. The oil industry is of course the biggest reason it hasn't happened and that it didn't happen 25 years ago. I won't particularly call the oil industry a force of evil though, since they're the largest economic force in the history of mankind simply protecting their best interests. When they crash, the whole world feels it. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG <cite>weapon_d00d816 posted [p:890684717] in Mazda is b...

If every manufacturer went balls to the wall with electric cars, wouldn't that force and foster innovation? Industry suppliers have said that electric majority propulsion is a minimum of 20 years out, and that's assuming there was a true 100% day and night devotion to research and rolling out the product. In reality, that number is closer to 50 years. I'm on board with Mazda's line of thinking, to increase what we have now while we work towards eventual electrification. --- There is no problem that can't be solved by applying more yuri to it.
