well duh, Toyota.
Toyota has a solid rep for durable, reliable cars. Many Toyota owners have been clamouring for a Corolla BEV. The bZ is the next best thing, it's not far off from the Corolla in size.
But nooo, ever patriotic Toyota got sidetracked to the hydrogen dead-end because some doofus in the Japanese govt was persuaded that HFCVs were the future. But a coal-H2 gasfication project set up by Kawasaki and the Aus govt in Melbourne has collapsed as unfeasible.
FINALLY a Toyota BEV!

This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.
But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.
So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!
