TOKYO — Mazda Motor will release electric vehicles in the U.S. as early as 2025 in an effort to establish a presence in the country’s rapidly growing EV market, Nikkei has learned.
The new EVs will utilize the platforms of existing gasoline-powered vehicles. They will be produced at the company’s plant in Hofu, in western Japan’s Yamaguchi prefecture. The plant can produce various types of cars — gasoline, electric and hybrid — on the same line.
