The marque
When Toyota went electric
Toyota built an electric RAV4 long before most rivals tried: leased from 1997 and sold to retail buyers from 2002, with a second generation developed with Tesla in 2012. The company then spent two decades on hybrids before the bZ4X became its first mass-market EV in 2022.
