It actually seems more like they'll see it when they believe it. Toyota have doubled down on their belief that they don't think BEV's are really practical yet, so are only interested in hybrids.Lexus isn't really playing in this segment until they offer a pure BEV like Ford is doing, in my opinion. Lexus/Toyota had such a lead in electrification with efforts like the Prius, but they have been falling behind in recent years when it comes to bringing EVs to market.
That's fine, they just won't get my business in the meantime! I'm a believer that EVs are the future, and even more radically, that we have a social imperative to move to EVs as soon as we can in segments where they are appropriate. I don't need to add local emissions when I'm just going to work or the grocery store.It actually seems more like they'll see it when they believe it.

I have a feeling they have something up their sleeve for a full BEV. They're just biding their time like you say until they think it's worth. I'd be shocked if a company as large as them doesn't have something in the works.It actually seems more like they'll see it when they believe it.

Toyota said last year that there will be six new EVs released between 2020 through 2025. But no BEV listed, just HEV, PHEV, and FCEV.I have a feeling they have something up their sleeve for a full BEV. They're just biding their time like you say until they think it's worth.

For me it's been one of the most interesting things to follow in the industry because I would've thought for sure Honda and/or Toyota would be leading the charge for EVs.Toyota said last year that there will be six new EVs released between 2020 through 2025. But no BEV listed, just HEV, PHEV, and FCEV.
Honda seemed less exuberant, they cancelled the insight, and their target is 2030 for EVs (no details on the implementation).
what are their reservations? who knows.
Toyota is also focused largely on the now, as they've explained. So is just part of a long proven business model.It actually seems more like they'll see it when they believe it.

Where did you find these @machstang? That's quite the lineup of concepts.Toyota is also focused largely on the now, as they've explained. So is just part of a long proven business model.
I can't wait for production versions of these:
