Hybrid. I'm nitpicking, but current full electric Toyota cars are not that good or popular.
- itsoktocry 3y agoElectric cars are not that popular, period. Hybrids may turn out to be a more popular option.
- quonn 3y agoHybrids have basically all the possible parts that can break.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoBut Toyota’s hybrids have a very good reputation regarding longevity and low cost of ownership.
- explaininjs 3y agoNot really, the transmission can be made much simpler and more robust.
- mrguyorama 3y agoBut the entire selling point of Toyota to most people is that it WONT break, at least for 150k miles.
- rootusrootus 3y ago> Electric cars are not that popular, period. That is a matter of opinion. As a brand new technology, I think a market share approaching 10% is incredible. Only fans thought this was possible even 5 years ago.
- luuurker 3y agoWhat I meant is that Toyota electric cars are not popular inside the electric category. From range to charging speeds, they're behind other brands.
- explaininjs 3y agoHa, I read that as Tesla and it's still true. Almost like there's more to a car than range and charing speed.
- luuurker 3y agoYes, there's more to a car than range and charging speeds, but that doesn't change the fact that Tesla makes some of the best selling EVs and that Toyota doesn't. Even if you care more about build quality and comfort, there are cars from VW, Audi, Hyundai, Mercedes, etc, that are better than, say, the Toyota bZ4X while having better range and charging. Toyota simply doesn't make the best pure electric cars.
