Toyota will build and sell many EV's when the market calls for it. Not even 1% of vehicles on the road are electric. Currently there is not nearly enough infrastructure support for them but once that changes, expect Toyota to be a leader.
Besides, if Hyundai can't build an engine without it being recalled every two months due to a fire risk, what makes you think they can build a reliable, safe EV?

In terms of sales, EVs are around 9% of the global car market sales in 2021. https://electrek.co/2022/02/02/globa...-doubled-2021/
The Ioniq 5 has been on sale for over a year in South Korea and was their 1st ground up EV platform. Has about 250-300 miles of range and can charge from 10-80% in 18 minutes and does the 0-60 in less than 5s. No issues so far and seems like the battery platform is solid
Toyota is bringing its vaunted BZ4X with a 250 mile range, 10-80% in 56 minutes and does the 0-60 in 7s. Pathetic

I don't say this lightly as a Toyota/Lexus fanboy with over 25 years of owning almost nothing else (I strayed to Honda for one year in 2018 but came back) but Toyota blew it with EV'S. They are so far behind Hyundai it's sad. They are also behind Ford and GM, which is extremely sad. I'm sure once they fully commit they will make good ones, but they will be behind the competition. And what they are coming out with is a bit pathetic when compared to Hyundai and others. It pains me to say it, but it's the truth.

I'm the same as you dyed in the wool Toyota nut. The company is in deep, deep trouble it just hasn't reached the boiling point yet.
