Toyota is perhaps the last auto manufacturer interested in building great consumer vehicles.
The Prius is an amazing car, and probably responsible for the biggest portion of electric vehicle operation given the numbers.
Their philosophy, and it's backed by numbers, is that it's better to put a little bit of battery in a lot of cars than a lot of battery in a few cars.
They're dancing around the EV trend. They'll psy it lip service to sell in the US market, but that's it.
Toyota is not a fan of the EV. Given who they are they probably have good reasons for it.
