Toyota have been strange holdouts against electric cars for some reason; they've previously backed hydrogen which is far less practical now.

Toyota's argument has been that with a limited battery supply, you get more fuel use reduction by building lots and lots of hybrids than by building a few electric cars. I'm not sure they're wrong. (Of course we do need electric cars to be in the mix to get to long term targets.)

Honda even more so—they don’t have a single PHEV or EV model available (there was the Clarity). Mazda is even worse.

Hyundai, Ford, Chevy, VW, et al seem to have an extensive lineup of electrified vehicles. Yet, they still seem very hard to come by in this market.

In Europe, there is an all-electric Honda hatchback:

> Mazda is even worse.

And an all-electric Mazda SUV:

But both of these models are hardly competitive.
