Huh, after spending years not developing EV technologies?

I mean good luck to them, but I don't see this coming soon. Tesla is still far ahead in pure EV technologies (talking about supercharger network but also engines power and efficiency)

I had the same thought. They'd like to become leader but they've moved way too slow. They're a good 10 years behind.

But they're a big company. Perhaps they can turn things around.

I hope so ! We still need a 1998 Camry equivalent in an EV.

Well there is the Chevy Bolt. Which is a very good deal on a pretty good range EV. But yeah... It's still a Chevy

Fair, but basically not sold in Europe.

Well actually Toyota had the best tech for many years for hybrid cars employing batteries and electrical engines.

I'm not so sure that they're behind in terms of know how for EV, quite the opposite actually.
