Toyota recently revealed why they will likely never make a pure plug-in EV and will stick to PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles).

The Tesla Model S Long Range uses enough lithium to make more than 11 PHEVs. The Rivian R1T uses up enough lithium for 20 PHEVs. And the Hummer EV hogs enough lithium for 24 PHEVs.
