Toyota Joins the EV Race 🔋, More Corporate Mandates 👔

<p>Toyota, one of the world’s largest automakers, is planning to invest 4 trillion yen ($35 billion) to build a full lineup of 30 battery-powered electric vehicles by 2030. It aims to also increase global sales of battery electric vehicles by 3.5 million units a year by the end of the decade, CEO Akio Toyoda said Tuesday. Most of Toyota’s current electric vehicle sales are hybrid electric cars that are powered by a combination of an internal combustion engine and battery-operated electric motors. Battery-only EVs make up only a fraction of its current sales. MotorTrend on Monday named the all-electric Rivian R1T the publication’s 2022 truck of the year, beating out other pickups from Ford Motor, General Motors and Hyundai Motor. Kroger said Tuesday that it will take away paid leave for unvaccinated employees who get Covid-19 and require some of them to pay a monthly health insurance surcharge starting next year. The country’s largest supermarket operator sent a companywide memo announcing the changes, which take effect Jan. 1. A company spokeswoman said the new policies are intended to encourage staff to get the Covid vaccines, adding it will continue to offer a $100 incentive to all employees who become fully vaccinated. Google has told its employees that they will lose pay — and will eventually be fired — if they don’t comply with the company’s Covid-19 vaccination policy, according to internal documents.</p> <p>💰Support the Channel CashApp: $MarketMarauder</p> <p>📚Website: www.marketmarauders.net</p> <p>🦩Twitter: @yourequest</p> <p>😎Instagram: market_marauders</p> <p>📧Email: reg24k@gmail.com</p> <p>🚧 DISCLAIMER🚧</p> <p>I am not a qualified licensed investment advisor.
