Do you know what percentage of EV owners own only an EV?
About 4 percent.
The rest – about 96 percent – own another vehicle that isn’t a battery powered device. What does this say about battery powered devices?

The notion of “use cases” is inherent
(subliminally, alluded, or straightforward) in the bulk of comments.
Range, infrastructure or cost (and convenience) are often implied (directly/indirectly) in the bulk of the responses.
Safety is not explicitly mentioned. Nor is the hybrid/PHEV with any assertion.
In looking for the “chie” in the responses, the notion of a middle ground technology (vs a middle ground lifestyle) is rhetorically absent yet subliminally adopted. Toyota read the landscape correctly.
