Do you think we will see another LX brand go fully electric after LX 700h?

Currently, the LX 700h is not a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or a fully electric vehicle (EV) at the moment. It's a hybrid SUV that have both a gasoline engine and an electric motor working together. This is targeted to improve fuel efficiency and performance.

I've seen some people asking when they are going to make another LX after LX 700h that will be fully EV. DO you think that's going to happen soon?

Highly doubt it. The Land Cruisers are the choice around the entire globe for heavy-duty and long range use. Think of all the Cruisers you see being used by the UN, places in Africa, all kinds of governments, etc. All-electric cannot support these needs. This 700h is exactly what's needed for these harsh conditions. It's the ONLY hybrid that can start itself and run like a conventional gas vehicle in case the hybrid system has a failure. THAT'S Land Cruiser...it'll get you home.

I think most of the car manufacturers are wising up that (at least in the US) -- people don't want everything to be EV's. They want either ICE's or hybrids. So, hopefully Lexus listens.
