    By the numbers: Toyota has what it calls the 1:6:90 rule. Its scientists have calculated that the amount of raw material needed to make a long-range EV could instead be used to make six plug-in electric hybrid vehicles or 90 hybrid vehicles.
    "The overall carbon reduction of those 90 hybrids over their lifetimes is 37 times as much as a single battery EV,"
