It's not even about BYD. All of Europe is now buying EVs like crazy. How many of these are Toyota? One 40k€ model basically.

In my country, Poland, 40'000 EVs were sold last year.
Toyota sold 106'000 cars.
People keep saying that Toyota is doomed since 2019, but numbers don't show that.
If anything, numbers confirm Toyota's strategy was right: play it slow and cool, and start shifting into EVs when a huge EV market will exist.
EVs really need no FOMO. They are simpler beasts to build than ICEs.
