Toyota was a head of the curve on this.

I wish they built more hybrid turbo-4s for output.

Exactly. They saw the writing on the wall long before anyone else did, and it seems.

You are 100% correct.

Toyota was so far ahead of society it is mindboggling. The Prius is what people think of when they think hybrid. And unlike these other models, it is not in year 1 working out the problems.

In a general way, a hybrid is a gasoline powered, usually underpowered car, that hauls a battery around needlessly.

The EV is for people who live in a city, work in the city, and for whatever reason wanted to pay to park a car rather than ride a subway.

Yep, I believe Toyota said they could build 37 Hybrids using the battery resources of a single EV.
