Toyota is not wrong about EVs. It is going the hybrid route, which looks better to me.

Hybrids are great. My daughter has a Nissan hybrid, for the last 15 years she's been driving it back and forth between California, Kansas, Texas and Minnesota, putting thousands of miles on it and getting great gas mileage. Much of the time she is driving it locally, on the battery power. She had the battery pack replaced a few years ago, cost her less than $1500 and drives like new - so the car has been a great value money-wise. BTW, the Nissan hybrid tech was licensed from Toyota.

Thanks! Hybrids are the way. Your battery pack is pathetic by EV standards. But a 40 miles charge is enough to run around town daily. Then plug into 220v at home. I have a 220 line for my dryer. Very common. (I only own ICE)

Then for long hauls and vacation, your hybrid functions as an ICE vehicle.
