Όταν τα λέει ο "νονός" του Nissan leaf, αξίζει δικό του θρεντ (στο οποίο μπορούμε να συζητήσουμε τα σφάλματα και το μέλλον της παραδοσιακής αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας):
'Hybrids Are A Road To Hell' In EV Race Against China: Former Nissan Exec.
Hybrids are a road to hell. They are a transition strategy, and the longer you stay on that transition, the less quickly you ramp up into the new world," said Palmer during the interview. "If you just delay transitioning to EVs by diluting it with hybrids then you are more uncompetitive for longer, and you allow the Chinese to continue to develop their market and their leadership. I honestly think it's a fool's errand."
Essentially, navigating the road to electrification is akin to walking a tightrope. China is going full-tilt, racing along the taught line with reckless abandon. On either side of its balancing pole are government subsidies meant to help the country's EV makers across at great speed. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is competing in the EV Olympics over a safety net build by hybrids—and the longer they take to cross, the further ahead China gets.
Palmer's real critique is that hybrids are merely a stopgap. His belief is that investment in these platforms simply delays the inevitable transition to folly electric platforms, diluting the market with uncompetitive cars while China extends its EV dominance across the industry.
"The Chinese cars are bloody good," Palmer said, applauding the cars for having remarkable value.
