Lexus's Yoshihiro Sawa has stated that he thinks pure EVs are not ready for primetime by making comments such as "you can't make an electric Land Cruiser work" and also "Pure EVs currently require a long charging time and batteries that have an environmental impact at manufacture and which degrade as they get older".

He also stressed recycling issues and that it is a complex issue that has not been solved...Perhaps he means Lexus hasn't solved these problems or doesn't believe they have the ability to solve these problems in the near term.

It is interesting to think this is the situation given how early its parent company Toyota was on the electric hybrid Prius.
