Is Toyota Ready To Take On Tesla For Electric Vehicle Lead? 'I Don't Know If Love Can Beat Tesla'
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) plans to increase its focus on electric vehicles (EVs), with a goal to sell 3.5 million battery-powered EVs in 2030. The company's new EV division president, Takero Kato, aims to achieve the same range for these EVs as Toyota's existing hybrid vehicles. To reach this goal, Toyota will invest more in battery plants and start producing battery-powered EVs in the U.S. in 2025. This comes as industry peers like General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) and Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) have partnered with Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) on EV charging infrastructure.
