Public Citizen files questionable complaint against Toyota

Public Citizen is a consumer rights advocacy group that works to insure corporate accountability. On December 13th, the non-profit filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accusing Toyota of deceptive marketing practices. The complaint alleges that the automaker is misleading consumers by marketing its hybrids and plug-in hybrids as “EVs” and using words like “electrified” to describe its extensive lineup of green vehicles.
