AutoExec Summary
Mazda plans to join the electric car market with a fully electric car set to be unveiled at the Tokyo motor show next month. The company believes that fully electric cars will make up just 5 percent of its sales by 2030, with the remainder being a combination of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and range-extender EVs. The prototype Mazda EV, driven in Norway, has a 250km range and will be priced around $55,000. Mazda’s strategy is to have a substantive reduction in CO2 production, focusing on perfecting the internal combustion engine and minimal electrification. The prototype EV displays superb balance and precision, providing a fun driving experience. Norway is the ideal location for the prototype due to its high percentage of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources.
