Toyota Unveils All-New RAV4 EV at 26th Annual Electric Vehicle Symposium

Online, May 14, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Toyota of Nashua is pleased to share that the all-new 2013 Toyota RAV4 EV (electric vehicle) recently made its long-awaited debut at the 26th annual Electric Vehicle Symposium, which took place on Monday, May 7, 2012 in Los Angeles.

The unveiling of the all-electric SUV has been anticipated by the automotive community since the new project was announced, along with Toyota's collaboration with Tesla Motors, nearly two years ago.

Arriving in select showrooms sometime late this summer with an MSRP of $49,800, the 2013 RAV4 EV can be fully charged on a 240V/40A charger in approximately six hours and has a driving range of about 100 miles between charges. Toyota also made sure not to compromise on other important vehicle components, assuring drivers that the RAV4 EV's performance, driver dynamics and cargo space are equal to or greater than the current gas powered RAV4 V6.

The new model receives a redesigned front bumper, upper and lower grill, side mirrors, rear spoiler and under body configuration, giving it the lowest coefficient of drag of any SUV on the market. The RAV4 EV is also equipped with LED projector headlamps with manual leveling system, daytime running lights and rear LED combination lights.

Inside, the RAV4 EV features an eight-inch capacitive touch screen with navigation, telematics and EV drive information, in addition to Toyota Entune, which includes SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth audio streaming and USB/iPod connectivity.
