Toyota has postponed the start of production for its first U.S.-made electric vehicle from 2025 to 2026, citing design changes and momentum in the EV market.
Company spokesperson Scott Vazin confirmed the shift, stating, 'We've always said it would be late 2025 and it could creep into 2026, and it does look like it's going to creep into 2026.'
The first vehicle planned for the Kentucky plant is a three-row electric SUV, which American consumers are increasingly seeking but is currently limited in availability.
Toyota's delay underscores the importance of domestic EV production in light of federal incentives for North American-made electric vehicles, following the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
