Stupid analysis. Toyota is smart enough to know that there is not even -close- to enough of the metals on planet earth to build the batteries needed for an all electric fleet.
Then Toyota also knows that a small gasoline engine combined with a smaller battery hybrid gives you range, safety, cabin heat, etc etc.

Chances are, Toyota, a worldwide company, Japanese and beyond woke thinking guilt trips knows better than true believers of EV.

Hybrids make sense. So the left is pushing all electric because it is expensive and it is impractical for most people.

Tesla doesn't have problems getting batteries for their EV’s and Toyota is far bigger and richer and more powerful than Tesla.
Plus Tesla get a big chunk of their batteries from Panasonic, which Tesla joined with to produce EV batteries in Nevada.
Toyota is Japanese as well, no?

The president of Toyota has come out numerous times to extol the virtues of not rushing into banning fossil fuels and mandating EVs.
