Don't they have existing EV models, though?

it's sunk cost on their hydrogen cell R&D - they want there to still be room for that instead of going with electrification but they have to diversify their portfolio to keep up with markets

> "Toyota in particular has been vocal that they are uninterested in making ZEVs available in California. [...] Toyota has invested in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles [instead]."

Yep bz, chr, bz woodland and the upcoming highlander Bev, at least - but they’re late to the game for sure.

They have large electric cars / SUVs, but not small EVs.

To be fair that's true of most manufacturers. Nobody wanted to go head to head with the Tesla M3, except Hyundai I guess but then they discontinued the Ioniq 6 IIRC.

		Tesla Model 3 is a huge car for Europe. I would never consider it due to that.

		It's true in the US market. Europe and Asia are seeing a flood of smaller EV cars from Dacia, Renault, BYD, VW, Fiat and far more. The US is getting left behind.
