Toyota has 1 EV and it's fucking dogshit. I'm pretty sure the only reason they made it was to say "see there's no demand for an EV, lets stick with our hybrids." The refresh is better, but it's still one of the worst EVs for sale right now (in the US at least).

Primes are better options for 100% of Americans than a BEV. Less use of batteries and a motor when you need it with 60+ miles of range. Toyota has like 3 Prime vehicles and they just launched a new EV C-HR yesterday and updated Bz today with a new set of trims for various different people.

I agree that a prime is better for many Americans, but the weirdos that live in cities still technically exist and some of those don't have family hundreds of miles away with no charging infrastructure inbetween.

Why do I need to haul around hundreds of lbs/kg of engine, fuel tank, and all the other garbage of an ICE drivetrain when I don't need it? Oh, for the maybe one time in my life when I'll need to drive farther than 300 miles between charging stations? If that ever happens, I'll just rent an ICE car for the day.

Also, a Prius Prime only has about 40 miles of all EV range. Why are you sending me to the gas station to get more range from petroleum extracted from the Earth, dragged hundreds of miles between refining and delivery when I can just plug my car in at home and charge from my solar array instead?
