Toyota Doubles Down on Hybrid-Only Models as EV Demand Slows

With electric vehicle (EV) demand slowing, Toyota is ramping up its focus on hybrid models. The automaker is now considering hybrids for its entire lineup, moving away from traditional gasoline-powered cars while sticking to its multi-pathway strategy of hybrids, EVs, and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. This pivot aims to leverage growing hybrid demand, cut regulatory costs, and allow more time to develop future green technologies.

Toyota’s approach could set the stage for a balanced transition in the auto industry, aligning with consumer preferences and regulatory pressures. What do you think—are hybrids the bridge we need for sustainable mobility?
