Toyota's Highlander EV Delay Creates Potential Inventory Gap

Toyota has delayed the launch of its Highlander EV, pushing production back to at least Q1 2027 and shifting the launch to a 2028 model. This delay may create a production gap, as Toyota may run out of current Highlander models before the EV reaches showrooms. Dealers had a 20-day supply of Highlanders nationwide as of September 10, and it's unclear how much the delay will impact Toyota's sales goal.
