I don't know what kind of tards are working at Toyota, and I don't say that lightly, as I am frequently saying that if Toyota isn't doing something, you should be trying to figure out why.
The RAV4 is hugely popular. The specs of the Prime are insane. They should have anticipated the popularity. Not knowing the future of US tax credits, they should have been pushing this vehicle from day 1 of those credits. It could have been a cash cow.
Cancel the stupid EV and quadruple the RAV4 Prime.
I'm one to armchair criticize the company, but has it been a decade now that I've been saying PHEV is where the money AND efficiency are to be found? 16 kWh is the exact right size to maximize the federal tax credit, and it took how long to figure this out?
