However they skipped a lot of EV craziness and just do cheap-and-reliable ICE cars. I also never understood why established brands lobbied for EVs, and not against them. They clearly had no edge over Tesla and Chinese brands, why compete on rival's field?

Toyota hasn’t offered pure electric where I am, just hybrids. And they have only just started offering plug in models I can charge.

I’d love a Corolla or Camri EV - I’m not sure what ‘the Corolla of EVs’ is considered to be.

It’s the Model 3, or maybe one of the Hyundai/Kia small EVs.
