Well of course. Toyota still foolishly thinks Hydrogen is going to be the replacement for gasoline. Their EV options are only there to meet bare minimum availability.

I might be out of date, but I thought that they don't have any vehicles that don't burn fossil fuels, as a matter of policy.

When market leaders nokia and blackberry dismissed smart screens as a fad, it didn't go well for them.

More reasonably priced electric cars with good range are coming. Car companies will either make some or they will die.

Edit: I was indeed out of date.

They have at least one ev as far as I know, it's also underwhelming.

The fact is those in power won't ever let us have them. Won't make near enough money for them.
