Catalytic converters are being pinched at an alarming rate too.
When times get tough, the tough get to stealing. At least, that s what the National Insurance Crime Bureau has found in its 2020 study. Car thefts were up 9.2 percent last year from the previous, and catalytic converters are selling like hotcakes. The total of almost 900,000 vehicles stolen came as a surprise, considering that car theft has been on the decline for years.
As you d expect, certain states are worse for car thefts, and certain makes are stolen more often. California, Texas and Florida are the easiest states to get your car stolen, while Ford and Chevy pickups, and Honda Civic and Accord are the most often pinched. CNBC notes that many auto crimes are crimes of opportunity, like unlocked street cars, but high-end cars sometimes invite professional thieves.
Toyota aims to become carbon-neutral by 2050.
Toyota may be late to the EV party, but the Japanese automaker has been pioneering hybrid technology since the Prius debuted back in 1997 to reduce global emissions. Toyota s electrified lineup continues to expand with the recent launch of the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid, while the standard RAV4 Hybrid has overtaken the Prius as Toyota s best-selling hybrid. Its first production EV inspired by the bZ4X concept will go on sale in 2022 and as many as 15 fully electric cars will join Toyota s EV lineup by 2025.
This will help electrified models to make up 40 percent of Toyota s new car sales by 2025, and this is expected to increase to nearly 70 percent by 2030. But more steps need to be taken if Toyota is going to achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
