Some news in the last couple days that Toyota is bringing two EVs to the US (and in the same breath bashing EVs and promoting PHEVs ) Official Press Release Inside EVs Article Car and Driver Article As is usual with EVs, there is a bunch of confusion about when they will actually be available. The official press release says that Toyota will "debut" them "this year". Car and Driver assumes that means they will only be available next year. As noted in several articles, at least one of these two vehicles will probably be the Toyota version of the Toyota/Subaru EV "SUV" (of which there are very few details even though it was announced way back in the summer of 2019). The lack of even spy shots of this vehicle doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy that we will see it any time soon, but my fingers are crossed. After all the issues with my Hyundai Kona EV, I'd love to get an EV from a company I thought was on top of quality control (though I may just be spoiled after my 2008 Prius went 10 years and 100,000 miles with only consumables needing to be replaced).
Lexus will be revealing a prototype EV next Wednesday (3/23/21) at 6am EST. Hopefully with some idea on pricing and when it will going into production. Looks like fastback to me (my favorite form factor). Motor 1 has a few pictures and a quick video too.
