If the battery is the key to the auto, then Toyota

Still the world’s most important vehicle
Despite owning Toyota vehicles, I’m no huge Toyota fan. I love their hybrid cars, but I hate their dealerships. Of course, since I have a hybrid bias, Toyota is my favorite automaker, despite their crappy dealerships.

Hybrid cars and electric cars are a great development in automotive technology, but pickup trucks are America

The most important vehicle in America?
In February, Ford sold almost 33,000 Ford F Series trucks, making it the top selling vehicle in America, by far. Of the top 3 selling vehicles, 2 were trucks. Inevitably, day after day, month after month, year after year, and decade after decade, large trucks dominate the top of US [...]
