Mazda USA CEO: Long-range pure electric vehicles are not sustainable

Recently, we learned from relevant channels that Jeffrey Guyton, CEO of Mazda America, told the outside world that although today’s buyers relatively value pure electric vehicles with a range of 300 miles (approximately 482 kilometers), in the future consumers will find that In fact, there is no need for such a long range. From the perspective of limited resources, long-range pure electric vehicles are unsustainable.

Jeffrey Guyton believes that as people own pure electric vehicles more and more, they will also learn, develop and change their understanding of the priorities and needs of pure electric vehicles based on their experience. With the development of charging infrastructure and technology, the user experience will be improved.

Jeffrey Guyton also said that future battery packs will be smaller and lighter, providing shorter cruising range, but charging faster, with a range of more than 300 miles. The weight increase and decrease of trucks is a problem he is worried about, and believes that this It is unsustainable because resources of raw materials such as lithium batteries are limited.

At the same time, the latest news also includes that with the launch of new vehicles on pure electric platforms in the future, Mazda may cooperate with third parties to establish charging networks, but Mazda will not independently establish charging infrastructure and networks.
