"Toyota's bZ crossover has sold 10,029 units in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 79% increase over the same period last year. This strong performance positions the bZ as the likely top-selling non-Tesla EV in the U.S. for the year."
"In the first quarter of 2026, the electric share of the U.S. car market was 5.8%, down about two percentage points year over year, reflecting a broader decline in EV sales."
"Many auto companies have slowed down or reversed their EV plans due to looser environmental regulations and the premature end of the federal EV tax credit, creating a challenging environment for the industry."
"Toyota has been offering above-average discounts on the bZ to boost sales, which has helped it gain a competitive edge in a market where other manufacturers are struggling."
Toyota's bZ crossover is on track to become the top-selling non-Tesla electric vehicle in the U.S. for 2026, having sold 10,029 units in the first quarter, a 79% increase from the previous year. The company is launching three new electric models this year, positioning itself as a strong competitor in the EV market. Despite a general decline in EV sales across the U.S., Toyota's strategic discounts have contributed to its success, allowing it to surpass competitors like Ford and Hyundai.
