The Japanese motor industry giant was aiming to start production in late 2025 or early 2026.
Toyota now expects to launch its US EV operation at an unspecified time in 2026, a company spokesperson told BBC News.
"We’re still focused on our global [battery electric vehicle] target of 1.5M vehicles by 2026," said Toyota spokesperson Scott Vazin, adding that in the next two years it plans to introduce "5 to 7 [battery electric vehicles] in the US market."
