Eric Sorensen

While many automakers have been aggressively developing all-electric vehicle models, Toyota has been taking it slow.

Despite being the pioneer of the model first synonymous with hybrid-electrics – the Prius – Toyota has barely dipped a toe in the EV market, releasing just one model in North America, the bZ4X.
