Electric cars have not yet become a truly mass means of transport, as they have limited cruising range to the lowest cost, and the charging infrastructure is not so well developed, to make it trouble-free operation. However, legislators and conservationists are beginning to put pressure on automakers, introducing some parts of the world the requirement to sell a certain point, a certain number of electric vehicles. On the large American market such a rule has led some players to reflect on the urgent need to release electric vehicles. For example, such an impact has undergone conservative Toyota, which is increasingly advocated for the release of hybrid vehicles with internal combustion engines and electric vehicles on hydrogen fuel cells, which do not require a long time to replenish the charge traction batteries.
The second victim of the new US quotas may become the Japanese company Mazda, as noted Electrek resource with reference to an interview with the general director Masamichi Kogan edition of The Wall Street Journal. For the sake of compliance with US legal requirements, Mazda in 2019 plans to launch the first electric cars under its own brand. I must say that the prototypes of electric vehicles in the compact body of the Mazda 2 (Demio) the company has experienced several years, so the inevitable creation of a serial electric vehicle to a certain extent for a long time predetermined.
Mazda engineers are trying to give electric cars the brand interesting feature - they should be able to pass the maximum distance after reaching a residual charge of the minimum traction battery . In other words, electric vehicles Mazda will continue to drive the battery run down than competitors products. It is possible that in the creation of electric vehicles Mazda will engage Toyota experts - companies are already cooperating on certain car models.
