☆ The auto industry owes Toyota an apology on hybrids

Toyota, the originator of the hybrid car craze in the early 2000s, is poised to reclaim its crown as the king of green cars. This, paired with the success of Tesla and overall investor enthusiasm for EV technology, left Toyota looking like a laggard. AdvertisementDespite years of criticism, it appears that Toyota might have had the right idea after all. Shoppers in the market for a hybrid are also much more likely to pony up more cash for these cars. Toyota has spent the last several years releasing more hybrids and plug-in hybrids, while refusing to give up on the nascent hydrogen fuel cell technology that many of its competitors have largely abandoned.

"These are not the same kind of customers who created the initial EV market," GBK President Jeremy Korst told Business Insider in an interview. A new wave of EV shoppers is hitting the market, and the industry appears to be unprepared to meet their needs. Among the group of EV considerers surveyed, Toyota was the most considered brand, with 47% showing a preference for the Japanese automaker compared to 41% favoring Elon Musk's Tesla. Plug-in hybrids ranked very high on EV considerer's preference lists in GBK's study. GBK's study found that EV considerers are willing to pay $7,650 more on average for an EV than a gas-powered car with similar features.
