And this source says Model Y was #2 and RAV4 #3.

My point stands, Model Y sales are matching RAV4 sales, for all practical purposes. And it happened in the space of a couple years. Toyota sells a lot of cars, but they're not the undisputed king of the hill.

Also, not all RAV4s are hybrids. Model Y definitely outsold RAV4 hybrids. Though hybrids aren't any kind of EV (unless they are plug-in), so that's moot.

Why are we restricting ourselves to Rav4's? Toyota sells well over 2 million EV's per year, far more than all Teslas.

And yes, HEV's are EV's the same way BEV's are.

The vast majority of Toyota hybrids cannot be powered by electricity from the grid. I'd say that's a significant difference.
