Toyota Camry was the top selling car in Oz for 18yrs straight. In March the Tesla Model 3 became the best selling car. Toyota are sinking here very quickly but typical Japanese the CEO will be stubborn and continue fighting and send the business backwards.
Once you get up to speed with the US and realise there is no resale on EV and the batteries are like your phone after a few years meaning they run out quicker as they age, you too might realise that EV isn't the answer, all value comparison models are distorted to hide the fact they depreciate so much quicker than traditional cars.
