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I might be out of date, but I thought that they don't have any vehicles that don't burn fossil fuels, as a matter of policy.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Edit: I was indeed out of date.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

Ah, so they do.

"Our confident All-Electric SUV, the Toyota bZ4X is the result of over 25 years of experience in electrified technology."

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