Toyota usually has such a conservative approach that it actually becomes surprising they released a high-volume production hybrid earlier than other Japanese automakers.

BEV is a good long term goal (20 years). PHEV makes the most sense at the moment in every metric (environmental, economic, utility, etc).
About 8 years ago, when I joined EcoModder and the Prius was officially released in my country, I wouldn't believe if someone told me I would see so many hybrids on a regular basis, including PHEVs.
