They do, however they have been very vocal in their reluctance to invest in that strategy.
Toyota's strategy is working. They have been the best selling automaker for the last six years straight. Last year they had record sales:

As time goes on BEVs will make up a greater percentage of their sales.

As BEVs get cheaper and more practical demand will keep going up. Toyota will follow BEV demand.

What I said wasn’t a criticism, simply a fact.

I’m personally a huge fan of hybrids
