Mazda’s CEO has dismissed the idea that electric vehicles are poised to fully replace traditional combustion-engine cars in the near future, citing lingering challenges in technology and infrastructure. The automaker argues that current EV limitations—including charging times, range anxiety, and battery costs—still make internal combustion engines a practical choice for many drivers. While acknowledging the environmental benefits of electrification, Mazda emphasizes that hybrid and hydrogen technologies may play a larger role in the transition before EVs dominate the market. The stance underscores a growing debate within the automotive industry over the pace and feasibility of phasing out gasoline-powered vehicles.
