Would an All-Electric yaris be cheaper in the long run?
Imagine if Toyota decided to come out with an all-electric Yaris: They would remove the engine and the transmission (the two most expensive parts) and replace it with two eletric motors (one on each front wheel) and a battery to power it.
Since now you don't need oil changes, trans fulid changes, coolant changes, timing belts, etc, and all the things associated with an engine/trans configuration, would the total overall cost be cheaper? Would the oil companines just sit idly by with something like this? What do you think? |
