Among the foreign makers taking part are Mercedes-Benz, a perennial Japanese favourite, and China’s BYD.Toyota executives have acknowledged that Japan’s top automaker has fallen behind rivals in EV development like Tesla of the U.S. and China’s BYD Auto. That is partly because of Toyota’s past success in hybrids, exemplified in the Prius, which have a gasoline engine in addition to an electric motor.
Tesla’s global vehicle deliveries last year grew 40 per cent from the previous year, to 1.31 million EVs. BYD sold more than 1.85 million electric cars, including plug-ins. Nissan, an early EV maker among the Japanese with its Leaf going on sale in 2010, is showcasing four EV concept cars.
