Toyota unveiled an electric SUV, the BZ4X, at the Shanghai Motor Show. Currently, the BZ4X is a concept vehicle but Toyota intends to put it into production soon as a part of a major push into electric vehicles.

While it has been a pioneer in hybrid and even hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles, Toyota has been slower than some other major automakers, such as General Motors and Volkswagen, to enter the fully-electric vehicle market. In the early 2000s, the Toyota Prius was received with the sort of excitement now seen for Tesla models. There were wait lists if you wanted to order one.

There will be at least one electric pickup in that lineup, and seven of those electric vehicles will be sold under a new BZ sub-brand for electric vehicles. BZ stands for Beyond Zero. The Japanese automaker said it plans to offer a total of 70"electrified" models by 2025, including plug-in hybrids, regular hybrids and hydrogen-powered vehicles.Read MoreToyota said it plans to become"carbon neutral" by 2050.
