It has not been a good year for many EV manufacturers. Ford, GM, Honda and Stellantis wrote off billions of dollars (total around $50 billion) because electric vehicle sales fell off considerably. Their multi-billion investment in electric vehicle manufacturing and infrastructure yielded disappointing results.
In the meantime, Toyota, which only had one EV pony in the race, Toyota bZ4X, continued to make money with its hybrid lineup, and appeared uninterested in jumping into the EV fray. But all this changed this year. While the other big automakers are all bloodied from their EV excursions, Toyota is now rolling out new versions of fully electric vehicles to fill in the gap.
In addition to Toyota bZ (which is an improved bZ4X), it has also released 2026 bZ Woodland with higher ground clearance, and front and rear electric motors. Toyota C-HR EV, an all-electric version of its C-HR coupe, is becoming available at Toyota dealers in March 2026. With the 2027 model year, we are supposed to be able to buy Toyota Highlander EV. According to plan, by 2030 we will be able to buy fully electric versions of Toyota Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks, and the bestselling Toyota Camry.
At Fremont Auto Center we are thrilled with Toyota’s new entrants into the EV market. We are big fans of Toyota vehicles, and working on electric Toyotas will give us opportunity to expand our electric vehicle skills currently being utilized primarily on Tesla vehicles (anywhere you turn in Fremont, you will see a Tesla).
Naturally we fully support existing Toyota vehicles powered by the internal combustion engines. We provide comprehensive Toyota maintenance and repair – regardless of the mode of propulsion. So when your Toyota needs a bit of tender, loving care, call Fremont Auto Center or make an appointment online, if you prefer computerized scheduling.
