Toyota to debut new RAV4 electric vehicle

ToyotaRAV4EVWhite_thumb The Electric Vehicle Symposium, which is due to kick off in Los Angeles on May 7, will be the setting for Toyota to reveal the new RAV4 electric vehicle.

It will follow on from the second generation of the Toyota RAV4 EV (pictured), which was first unveiled back at the Los Angeles Motor Show in 2010. Since then, Toyota built around 35 of the vehicles for demonstration and evaluation with Tesla Motors providing the batteries and other electric car components.

Now Toyota will put the new RAV4 EV on sale this year – it will be sold to both the general public and fleet users.
