The new Lexus EV will be made using advanced manufacturing methods, including gigacasting, to cut costs and speed up production.

The report comes after Toyota scrapped plans earlier this year to develop a flagship next-gen Lexus EV in Japan using similar production methods.

    I don’t understand why manufacturers are dragging their feet BEV is absolutely no-doubt the future of cars.

    Transit would be better yes but we’re still gonna have cars realistically for a good while and BEVs are gonna dominate

      The manufacturers don’t want to give up all the extra money they make from the maintenance and repairs that are needed for gas vehicles
