    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)

      They were neither anti-EV in the past nor will they stop producing Internal Combustion Engine vehicles in the future

        They were AMAZINGLY anti-EV a few years ago. They couldn't shut the heck up about hydrogen being endgame and even shipped a flagship car that used the technology to prove it. (It barely sold, you couldn't refuel it outside of the Bay Area and the entire program was eventually written off.)
