Why: because Toyota is a company not supported by a religious cult, they need to make profit to survive. While the internet manbuns and sandals crowd is telling us we need to make EVs...very few bought EVs in 2021. Given poor charging infrastructure in the US and overnight charging impossible for apartment dwellers, hybrids made much more sense. And they sold hundreds of thousands.
You wanna go broke fast? Listen to the internet about how to make cars.
Millions, actually. Toyota North America sales in 2025 showed that 47% of the 2.5 million vehicles sold had some kind of electrification. Add up prior years, plus whatever they've sold in the first 9 months of 2026, and it's pretty obvious they've sold several million electrified vehicles in North America alone.
