Who's "they"? Cause other than Toyota, the rest of them didn't even care about hybrids until very recently.
But yeah, Toyota really dropped the ball after being the defacto leader of hybrid tech for so long.
Toyota is leading sales worldwide with hydrids and PHEVs.
You guys want companies to make EVs no one is buying. Only Tesla can do that because it's a cult.
I'm in Australia. BYD, MG, and a bunch of others are making a killing with their EVs. It helps that we have (one of) the highest rooftop solar adoption in the world.
Honda has been selling Hybrids since atleast '99, when they came out with a hybrid right before Toyota came out with the Prius.
for a while they have had Hybrid version available for most of their car models.
Not really. The Insight was a gutless two seater designed for CARB compliance. You couldn't even buy one at most dealers.
Toyota Prius was the first serious hybrid. They sold over 6 million of them. Honda sales were 1/25th that.
Ah I stand corrected. I see they never sold them globally outside the local & American markets. And eclipsed by Toyota by about 20x.
