TOKYO (Jiji Press) — Toyota Motor Corp. announced Friday that it plans to release 10 electric vehicle models by 2026 to sell 1.5 million EVs a year.
The goal is part of the Japanese automaker’s plan, announced in December 2021, to release 30 EV models by 2030 to boost its annual EV sales to 3.5 million units globally.
