Toyota is a hard company to figure out. It's generally accepted to be a latecomer to electric vehicles and EV technology, but it repeatedly assures its customers that it has big plans for battery-powered cars. Then again, it still isn't giving up that ill-fated hydrogen push, it doesn't really seem to want hybrids to go anywhere in the long-term, and when we look at its lobbying efforts, we find a concerted effort against EVs.
One is that it can't happen fast enough for climate reasons; the other is that automakers are still for-profit entities who need to keep those profits going until they can scale up to what's inevitably coming, and that timing is hard to get right. The two goals are not in sync, because capitalism probably can't fix climate change, but here we are.
