Toyota has been claiming that since 2010. They are no closer to a "solid state battery" that they have been raving about for the last 13 years. They don't even sell electric cars in Japan!

Toyota is widely considered to be the furthest behind the technology curve of all global car manufacturers, aside from maybe Lada.

They've got a huge share of the hybrid market. Why release something sub par (expensive, low range, needs to be plugged in) my guess is they let Tesla and other companies fight it out and learn from them wait for the infrastructure to catch up then sell to the common person not just people who can afford to have a less practical car.
