Is This the Third-Gen RAV4 Battery Electric Vehicle? Toyota to Debut Three EVs This Year

They need to put more effort into making more Rav4 Primes as they can sell all they can make. They screwed up & dropped the ball on that one.

I believe that Toyota's solid state batteries will be shown only in prototype form this year (one show vehicle), with production 2-4 years from now. Maybe. This Toyota blurb seems to just restate Toyota's reasons for not entering the (BEV) battery-only electric car market. As most of their legacy automaker rivals have committed to do. I actually agree with them in the fact that by offering hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions of most of their models, it allows them to produce and sell more vehicles that run off of electricity compared to other huge automakers that only offer one BEV, no hybrids, and mostly sell more profitable, gas guzzling, smoggy trucks and SUVs. The hard part of this news, is that for all of Toyota's words and posturing, they have not said anything new. Or revealed any confirmed clues that they are going to ever shift to offer any BEVs in the U.S. Since Toyota is spending all of their time justifying why they they prefer to be building hybrids, PHEVs, and FCEVs over BEVs it is not certain that they will actually start selling any BEV models in the U.S. this year. If Toyota does finally build a full BEV version of the RAV4, then I hope that they build enough of them to make a difference, seeing how their restriction of production, sales, and subsequent dealer price gouging severely limited the impact of the RAV4 Prime PHEV, which could have been a top seller if fully supported by Toyota.

Toyota's statements are designed to stall buyers looking at EVs while they scramble to bring their own to market when seeing they misjudged the momentum of the market.
They showed no vehicles at all.
Moreover, they were one of the automakers that supported the Trump administration against California only changing their tune when Biden won.

They have adopted the whiny, lying business model of American automakers in trying to avoid doing the hard work of innovation.
For decades we heard nothing but cries of "That is impossible" or "It's too expensive" from US makers only to have foreign companies prove them wrong at every turn. Today we have 300 HP Civics and Subarus because of the innovation springing from these regulations.
Toyota is seeing everyone else moving forward and claiming customers and is trying to change the narrative.
Sorry, they are dead to me.

I’m a current owner of a 2014 Toyota RAV4 Ev. Not a day goes by that I don’t worry my Rav4 will brake down and I’ll be left stranded for months waiting for Toyota to fix it. The Toyota dealership I purchased my Rav4 Ev refuses to even look at it! Only select dealerships have trained technicians to work on BEVs. If Toyota does sell BEVs in the future their attitude on fixing them better change!

I spent the last couple months looking for a car. EV's were definitely on my radar. Unfortunately the way I'm looking at it Toyota probably has the right idea by waiting. New battery technology seems to be changing with a lead time of 4 to 5 years before it's useable. All these cars that take hours to fully charge will be replaced by quick charge systems. Do we know if the current EV's will be able to be refitted to the newer standard? I don't think anyone has an answer for that yet. If they can't , they're basically luxury golf carts.
