Surprise! It was at least to me. OK it is not a Tesla competitor, it will not burn rubber, but at least they have 'something in the oven'. https://insideevs.com/news/425503/toyota-proace-electric-15-year-battery-warranty/
Whatever it is, Toyota must be feeling the "push". May become a reluctant player, who knows in the EV game? Hopefully they see the light before they become an other Kodak, BlackBerry, Nokia ....
Pretty sure Toyota are only doing it to meet their emissions requirements. Good on the EU for giving them a push, Shame it didn't result in Toyota actually building an EV.
