Toyota may still be gunshy about current battery tech, and is probably waiting for the tech to advance enough to match the current fuel economy on their passenger cars without increasing cost to match. It would be brand suicide at this point in time to build a full EV Corolla that costs $35-40k and axe the gas models because of mandate.

However, their current focus for EV is currently through hydrogen, considering their heavy investment in the Mirai and collaboration on semi trucks in the US.
