Toyota Motor Corp. is delaying the production start for its first US-made electric vehicle until 2026, but says it plans to sell as many as seven all-electric vehicles in the US within the next two years.

The Japanese carmaker initially targeted late next year to begin output of a three-row, battery-powered SUV at an assembly plant in Georgetown, Kentucky, but a company spokesman said Wednesday that has slipped by a few months into the following year.
