... & along comes little ol' Toyota. The envy of every auto manufacturer in the world and tells us what anyone with a brain has known for 15 years.
If you want to replace ICE vehicles, hybrids are the only way to go. Not that Toyota knows much about cars, right?

I actually agree with this. The mandates to go all EV at some point in the future will be disastrous. Our grids can’t even handle ‘normal’ consumption. Further, there will be graveyards for all these EV corpses lining our landscapes. I think a fair resolve is to own a EV/hybrid and have a gas fueled vehicle as a back up.
