Toyota is preparing to launch two new electric vehicles in China by mid-2026. The flagship Toyota bZ7 and Lexus ES are part of Toyota’s effort to regain market share from domestic electric vehicle (EV) leaders like BYD. Here’s our first look at the sleek new electric cars.

Toyota is late to the game, but it doesn’t want to fall any further behind. The world’s largest automaker is about to shake things up with 10 new EVs launching by 2027 — tripling its lineup. The new models will roll out in the US, Europe, Japan, China, and Southeast Asia as Toyota looks to keep pace with surging EV leaders like BYD. Here’s what new models we know about so far.

BYD has its sights set on Toyota. The world’s largest EV maker believes that once it reaches Toyota’s scale, it will make more money per vehicle. This year alone, BYD expects overseas sales to double. The company’s CEO even says that most of BYD’s profits will eventually come from overseas sales.

Those ultra-long-range Toyota EV batteries we were waiting for? Yeah, they might take even longer than expected. Toyota is delaying plans to build a new EV battery plant in Japan, where it was expected to begin producing its next-gen batteries with over 620 miles (1,000 km) range in 2028.

Toyota is now a battery supplier? That’s the plan. Honda will use Toyota’s batteries to power up its around 400,000 hybrids sold in the US.

The electric Tacoma and 4Runner may not be a pipe dream after all. Toyota is hinting that EV versions of the popular pickup and SUV could be coming to the US.

Toyota’s beloved compact car is finally going fully electric. The company confirmed an EV version of the Yaris is in the works, but it may be a while before you can get your hands on one. Here’s what we know about the Toyota Yaris EV so far.

Toyota’s first electric SUV is getting a major overhaul. The new bZ4X now has a bigger battery for more range, faster charging, dedicated EV features, a stylish facelift, and much more. Here’s our first look at the new Toyota bZ4X.

What exactly is the FT-Me, and why do we need one? Toyota unveiled a new micro EV on Thursday, dubbed the FT-Me. It’s small, but Toyota is hyping it up as an affordable alternative. It even has a solar roof to boost range.

It’s finally here. Toyota unveiled its newest EV, the C-HR+, a surprisingly stylish electric SUV. The smaller SUV will sit below the bZ4X and offer more range, a sleek new look, and faster charging. With an expected lower price tag, the Toyota C-HR+ could just be the affordable electric SUV we’ve been waiting for.

Toyota wants everyone to have access to affordable, convenient EV charging. Through its partnership with EVgo, Toyota opened its first EV fast charger on Monday. The new co-branded stations, with 350kW fast chargers, can serve up to eight EVs.

Toyota looks to grab a bigger share of the world’s largest EV market as it takes aim at BYD and other low-cost leaders. On Thursday, Toyota launched its cheapest EV in China, the bZ3X, starting at roughly $15,000. The new electric SUV crashed the server with over 10,000 orders in an hour.

Japanese oil giant, Idemitsu Kosan, is building a new large-scale lithium sulfide plant that will supply the raw material for Toyota’s upcoming all-solid-state EV batteries.

Toyota is about to launch its next all-electric vehicle, and it already looks like an upgrade from its current lineup. With a “sleek and stylish design,” the new EV is part of Toyota’s plan to attract more buyers. Here’s our first look at what’s coming.

Toyota is already developing the next-gen RAV4, and rumors suggest an electric model is in the works. According to internal documents, significant changes are expected. Here’s what we know about the upcoming Toyota RAV4 and a possible EV variant.

In a turn of events, Toyota is stepping in to support LG Energy Solution’s EV battery plant in Michigan. Toyota reportedly placed a $1.5 billion order to boost operations at the facility after GM backed out.

The world’s largest automaker wants to catch up in the global EV race after falling behind rivals like Tesla and BYD. On Wednesday, Toyota announced that its $14 billion EV battery plant in North Carolina is open for business. The new facility will begin shipping batteries for Toyota’s electric vehicles in April. Meanwhile, Toyota revealed separate plans to challenge BYD and other EV leaders in China.

Toyota maintained its title as the world’s top-selling automaker, with nearly 11 million vehicles sold in 2024. However, EV sales accounted for about 1% of Toyota’s global volume as it continued to lag the industry. With rivals like BYD and Hyundai closing in, how long can Toyota keep its spot at the top?

We had a feeling it was coming soon. Toyota is moving away from its “bZ” naming system for EVs with plans to use names you may already be familiar with. The bZ4X will likely be the only electric car Toyota sells globally under the old system.

On today’s episode of Quick Charge, we look into a new study revealing that Toyota outspends all other automakers when it comes to funding climate change denying politicians and Fred accuses Elon of misrepresenting the data behind Full Self Driving (again).

Toyota has been revealed as the largest auto industry funder of climate deniers in US Congress, according to a report released today by Public Citizen.
