A car made in Kentucky takes another step toward going electric.

Toyota says the new 2025 Camry will be a hybrid.

The company has made the Camry now in its ninth generation at its Georgetown, Kentucky plant since 1988.

WD RB business reporter Chris Orts extensively covers the transition of the state's auto industry to electric vehicles and says the news did not come as a surprise.

If you think of EVs as being synonymous with Tesla, well, when it comes to gas electric hybrids, Toyota is really the leader in that space.

You know, more than a third of their cars have these small batteries in them, and they've been leaning more and more into that.

They have a net zero commitment to reduce their carbon emissions.

So this is part of that.

Toyota has always said that they're going to be wherever consumers are, wherever the market is for cars.

So if that's hybrids, they'll be there.

If that's EVs, they're going to start making those as well.

And they said that they are not fully ruling out, you know, making regular gas cars anymore.

But it's clear that, you know, most of Toyota's lineup is going to at least have some kind of small battery in the car.

It says the new Camry will still primarily rely on a gas engine, but gets good gas mileage at 40 to 50 miles a gallon.

The sedan tops several lists as the best selling car in America.
