is this the same Toyota that’s actually lobbying the US government against the switch to EVs? Is this the same Toyota who had the clear advantage in EV technology but squandered it all just to keep on manufacturing thermal engines?

This is another shitty tactic, don’t believe them.

Akio Toyoda, the CEO responsible for their Anti-EV stance, was replaced on April 1st.

He was the president & CEO, now he is the chairman.

Also the grandson of the founder of Toyota.
