As Toyota gets serious about its BEV strategy, it embraces the Supercharger.
Another one bites the dust. Today, Toyota announced that its future EVs, along with those from Lexus, will join more than a dozen other automakers in moving to Tesla's North American Charging Standard plug standard. 'In line with Toyota’s vehicle electrification strategy that offers a plethora of options for electrified powertrains, Toyota and Lexus customers will have convenient access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across North America,' the automaker said in a statement.
Toyota did not say which EVs will use the NACS plug, but we do know that big changes are headed its way soon as it ramps up EV and battery production under the leadership of its new chief executive, Koji Sato. Among other things, Toyota is planning a from-the-ground-up BEV platform; new manufacturing techniques to match what Tesla and the Chinese automakers can do; high-range solid-state batteries; and as many as 10 new Toyota and Lexus BEV models potentially by 2026.
