Li batteries are dangerous. Based on the comments it sounds as if EFLVF is the only company making them. Those are used everywhere even in the laptop I am writing from. I agree that we should transition from that into something safer in the future including the use of solid state electrolyte. But EFLVF is in a much better position than anybody else in doing so and making the transistion.
As for Toyota, let's not mix up Toyota motor company with the relevant Toyota Industries:
They Raymond Corp is subsidiary 7 of 16 of Toyota Industries in the USA: https://www.toyota-industries.com/company/location/overseas_partners/. Effectively, EFLVF is working with the largest forklift truck manufacturer in the world. EFLVF could be a potential buyout for Toyota Industries. It could benefit Toyota Tremendously.
I agree, however, that the company needs to transition into a professional business style operation and separate to a certain extent management from technical. In summary, this is a good company to be in.
