Today roughly half of Toyota’s U.S. vehicle sales are hybrids or EVs, about double the industry’s overall share. Some of the company’s most popular models, such as the Camry sedan and Sienna minivan, are now sold exclusively as hybrids.
A new Toyota battery plant opened on Wednesday in North Carolina. The factory will produce batteries for hybrid electric, fully electric, and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
