- The China-built model is expected to combine electric drive with a gasoline engine that acts as a generator rather than directly powering the wheels.
- Toyota reportedly plans to ramp up production to around 400,000 extended-range electric vehicles in 2028 as it expands its electrified lineup in China.
- EREVs are gaining traction in China, where Toyota's hydrogen partner BMW could also launch its own extended-range EV.
Toyota was late to the battery-electric party, and now it's apparently arriving late to the range-extender EV party, too. Better late than never, right? The Japanese giant is reportedly preparing its first extended-range electric vehicle for China, with production expected to begin next year.
