They are all about hybrids.

Truthfully, Toyota is all about ICE. They're okay with hybrids because hybrids still contain an ICE. For Toyota there's a good reason for this. They make a damn good ICE engine! They've spent decades and billions of dollars on refining efficiency of gasoline into motion, and into very long run times of those ICE engines for reliability. However, that also means cars without and ICE, like EVs are a threat to the ICE empire Toyota has spent its life building.

They have a history of actively working against EVs and even using their influence and money to affect public policy in government:

"Toyota has been lobbying governments to water-down emissions standards or oppose fossil-fuel vehicle phaseouts, according to a New York Times report. In the last four years, Toyota's political contributions to US politicians and PACs have more than doubled. Those contributions have gotten the company into hot water, too. By donating to congresspeople who oppose tighter emissions limits, the company funded lawmakers who objected to certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. Though Toyota had promised to stop doing so in January, it was caught making donations to the controversial legislators as recently as last month." source

So Toyota is no friend of EVs.
