@kevindsmith10000 Depends on the country. Over here a electric car is pretty much always cheaper than a hybrid or gasoline car.

@erichchan3 It's not just about charging stations etc. It's a matter of battery availability. The world production of batteries is just too low for everyone to have EVs right now. So you could use them on EVs or you could use the same amount of battery production required for 1 EV to make multiple PHEV or regular hybrids. And replacing multiple gasoline cars with hybrids is better then replacing one gasoline car with one EV. Of course the ideal situation would be if everyone replaced their gasoline cars with EVs with small batteries. But they just won't... And of course 1 vs 1 the EV is of course way better for the environment then both PHEV, hybrids and gasoline cars. But battery production still needs to pick up. Some other companies have managed to get production up and deals made that give them a pretty good availability of batteries, Toyota just isn't there...
