I've been wondering when Honda and Toyota would seriously jump into the EV ring.

BEV is a good long term goal (20 years). PHEV makes the most sense at the moment in every metric (environmental, economic, utility, etc).

F1 is about the only sporting event I care to watch, so it's a shame they are leaving. Although the engines are ICE, there is a ton of interesting tech that can be applied in the hybrid realm going on in F1 such as KERS. Honda's exit means only manufacturers I don't care about remain (European).

Maybe they can jump into Formula E since that would be a fraction of the Formula 1 budget.
