Well actually Toyota had the best tech for many years for hybrid cars employing batteries and electrical engines.
I'm not so sure that they're behind in terms of know how for EV, quite the opposite actually.
Hybrid != Full on EV. Especially their goal are opposite : the EV part of a hybrid drivetrain needs power density (smoll battery and engine needs lotta HP) whereas full EV drivetrain need energy density/efficiency (moar range)
