JAKARTA - Even though electric vehicles are currently being produced, the CEO of Honda Motor Co, Toshihiro Mibe, believes that conventional fuel machines can still last until 2040.
He argues that the existence of an unmassive electric station is the reason why conventional fuel machines will last a long time. Even so, he cannot deny that Honda must be at the forefront of EV and battery development.
"The charging infrastructure is not where our customers should be," Toshihiro was quoted as saying by Reuters on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
"I've been in the engine development business for more than 30 years, so personally it's a bit threatening. But I have to separate my own feelings from what's best for this business," he continued.
He also added that, Honda is currently developing and testing feasibility in various aspects. For example, technology, chargers, advanced batteries, low-carbon electronic fuels to aircraft and rockets.
"As we move towards carbon neutrality, we focus on electrification and fuel cell, it is two components of the core mobility of the future," added Toshihiro.
