Toyota isn’t the first automotive brand that pops to mind when it comes to battery electric vehicles.
Toyota might be the largest automaker in the world — reportedly selling more than 9.5 million vehicles globally and stealing the crown from Volkswagen Group — but the company has been markedly absent from the battery electric vehicle (BEV) space.
