Japan has a long history of supplying affordable cars to the U.S., but they haven't yet started offering low-cost EVs.
For some god forsaken reason they decided to invest in unproven hydrogen ICEs and now have to catch up. This is great news for China and to some extent South Korea (and possibly new players internationally like India)
They (Toyota) could be decades ahead, they started their first hybrid cars almost 30 years ago.
It looks like they are going to skip this market for now.
