Toyota finally acts on electric vehicles: Can new battery-powered SUV and wild two-seat ‘Celica’ put Japanese giant back on track?

AutoExec Summary
Toyota has revealed two all-new concepts at the Japan Mobility Show that preview both the car maker’s next-generation design language, and its intention to become a real player when it comes to EVs. The first to be revealed is the Toyota FT-3e concept, which has a long wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs. It features digital exterior displays behind the front wheels that notify the owner of the vehicle’s charging status. Also revealed at the Tokyo show is the Toyota FT-Se, a two-door coupe that shares powertrains and potentially a platform with the FT-3e SUV. Both concepts could mark the first step in Toyota’s journey to catch up with other EV manufacturers.
Brands mentioned: Toyota, Tesla, BYD, Jaguar, Lotus.
