With BEVs, we hope to "change the future," according to Kato. "We will introduce the market with a full lineup of the next-generation battery EVs starting in 2026."

By 2030, BEV Factory, which was founded in May, plans to create around 1.7 million vehicles, according to Kato.

By 2026, Toyota hopes to sell 1.5 million EVs yearly, and by 2030, it wants to sell 3.5 million, or nearly one-third of its total volume worldwide.

For the first time ever, the carmaker sold 8,584 electric vehicles (EVs), including those under the Lexus name, across the world in April, making up more than 1% of its total sales worldwide for that month.
