Will 36,000 Highlander hybrids be enough?
Currently, Toyota is planning to produce 36,000 Highlander hybrids per year, and this won't even come close to fulfilling demand.
While Toyota is trying to consistently ramp up it's hybrid vehicle production capabilities, the interest in hybrids continues to grow at a much faster rate.
Toyota has consistently been able to increase production rates faster and faster on its hybrids, but manufacturing capabilities have not allowed Toyota to come close to matching demand.
This trend will surely continue for some time. Nonetheless, I think Toyota hybrid car production will, minimally, increase by at least 50% per year or more. Within 3 years, Toyota will be making at least 500,000 hybrids per year, in addition to leasing the technology for another 100,000 hybrids, such as the Ford Escape hybrid, Mercury Mariner hybrid, and Nissan Altima hybrid.

More people should learn about electric vehicles as a solution. "Zero emissions" is something that's going to be required by law one day (you know it will). Making the decision to go electric is far cheaper anyway, like 10 cents on the dollar vs. gas. (source: zapworld.com)
