And this source says Model Y was #2 and RAV4 #3.

My point stands, Model Y sales are matching RAV4 sales, for all practical purposes. And it happened in the space of a couple years. Toyota sells a lot of cars, but they're not the undisputed king of the hill.
Also, not all RAV4s are hybrids. Model Y definitely outsold RAV4 hybrids. Though hybrids aren't any kind of EV (unless they are plug-in), so that's moot.
- explaininjs 3y agoWhy are we restricting ourselves to Rav4's? Toyota sells well over 2 million EV's per year, far more than all Teslas. And yes, HEV's are EV's the same way BEV's are. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1181404/alternative-sales-of-toyota-by-segment/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1181404/alternative-sale...
- coryrc 3y agoThe vast majority of Toyota hybrids cannot be powered by electricity from the grid. I'd say that's a significant difference.
