2011 Toyota Rav4 EV

New template, some details up to date and looked naive. If it were not for the sticker “Electric” which is applied along the sides you could think of a facelift. Quite the contrary. The Toyota RAV4 exposed during the show in Los Angeles is in fact made in collaboration with Tesla, and uses the same package already used for the Tesla Model S with lithium-ion battery (30 kWh of power). The RAV4 EV will be produced in 35 copies in 2011, designed to perform tests and inspections in the forecast with the final specifications of the car – still wrapped in the shadows: the engineers have yet to determine its characteristics – that will be marketed as from the follows.

The Toyota RAV4 EV weighs a ton more than the model with internal combustion engine, the volume remains unchanged in the trunk (473 liters) and travels no more than 160 km with defined-benefit “to the top of its category.” Maybe. In the meantime we must content ourselves with the chrome alloy wheels with 18 inch diameter, the LED headlamps and a dashboard system for the ignition button and touch screen.
