   and all it took was two decades and millions of spend in anti-EV lobbying before they finally gave in, huh

   (also kind of wild to me that an EV focused blog wouldn't mention this a single time since Toyota is (was?) arguably one of the staunchest and most stubborn anti-EV manufacturers out there)

      Don't they have existing EV models, though?

         They have large electric cars / SUVs, but not small EVs.

            To be fair that's true of most manufacturers. Nobody wanted to go head to head with the Tesla M3, except Hyundai I guess but then they discontinued the Ioniq 6 IIRC.

               It's true in the US market. Europe and Asia are seeing a flood of smaller EV cars from Dacia, Renault, BYD, VW, Fiat and far more. The US is getting left behind.

               Tesla Model 3 is a huge car for Europe. I would never consider it due to that.
