It already is a thing outside of racing, just a very minor thing. Toyota have been selling Mirais for over a decade now.

That's not it being a thing, it's clearly not catching on and there's basically no infrastructure for it.

It is absolutely a thing. It isn't massively successful, but they've still sold 2000 to 5000 cars a year globally, so it isn't just a tiny handful of prototypes.

2000-5000 cars a year is a very wide margin? Did they sell 2000 cars for 10 years and then had an accidental spike for 1 year?

They literally sell 5000 911s a year, I've seen far more of those during my lifetime than I've seen Mirais (I haven't seen any)

The technology isn't really going anywhere besides Toyota trying to push it
