    is this the same Toyota that’s actually lobbying the US government against the switch to EVs? Is this the same Toyota who had the clear advantage in EV technology but squandered it all just to keep on manufacturing thermal engines?

    This is another shitty tactic, don’t believe them.

      They know the tech is out there, they just don’t want it and will only use as much of it as they are forced to.

      There’s a reason why Tesla, a car company that was openly and explicitly set on building electric cars, was such a big deal.
