Toyota Expands Lineup of ‘Tesla Killer’ EVs in US Car Market

Toyota Motor Corp. is betting more Americans are ready for all-electric cars at a time when many of its rivals are hitting the brakes on battery-powered models.

The world’s largest carmaker currently offers four imported EVs, and will add a fifth this month. Production of a new US-made EV will begin at its Kentucky plant later this year, followed by another model in 2027; that will bring its total battery electric lineup in the US to seven models.
