If only any of those Japanese manufacturers were actually committed to make a really good EV. Seriously the Prius was so ahead of time, that you would think that Toyota would have been among the leaders in the EV sector, instead they kind of overslept the whole EV revolution and now complain about it.

They didn't oversleep, they ignored it on purpose because they want to make hydrogen engines and apparently no one there saw the writing on the wall
