Toyota will scale back - but not eliminate - its plans for EV production in 2026.
Japan's Toyota Motor has slashed its electric vehicle production plans for 2026 by a third, the Nikkei business daily reported, becoming the latest automaker to roll back electric car plans as EV sales momentum wanes.� The world's biggest automaker now plans to build 1 million EVs in 2026, compared with the company's earlier announced sales target of 1.5 million, it said.� Toyota said in a statement there was no change to its intention to produce 1.
� Producing even 1 million electric vehicles per year, however, represents an ambitious undertaking for Toyota, which has put far more effort into developing hybrids and sold only about 104,000 EVs last year. EVs currently account for about 1% of its global sales.� Earlier this week, Swedish automaker Volvo scrapped its target of going all electric by 2030, saying it expects to still be offering some hybrid models in its lineup at that time.
