Description

Toyotas Prius, once a hybrid pioneer, now faces stiff competition from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers like BYD and Geely. While Toyota sold 140,000 electrics worldwide last year, BYD surpassed 1.8 million. Japanese drivers prefer hybrids due to apartment living and reliability concerns. Toyota is betting on solid-state batteries by 2028, but Chinese brands are expanding into Japan with kei cars and dealerships. The shift to EVs is a slow process, and Japanese makers may still pivot to catch up. Checkout Solipillow.com
