Thanks for the background info on Sec. Chu.

There's one thing that an owner of a BEV can do that an owner of ICE vehicle can't do - make their own energy (maybe some oil baron can but 99.9% can't).

There are a number of posters on this board that have solar panels installed (me included - looking to add some as well) that reduces the amount of energy needed from a utility to power not only their car but also their home. That totally debunks Toyota's position.
