Toyota RAV4 EV

The Toyota RAV4 EV is the all-electric version of the RAV4 sport utility vehicle, built by Toyota until 2014. Two generations were sold in California and to fleets elsewhere in the United States, separated by a gap of almost ten years. The first generation was leased from 1997 to 2003 to help meet the state's zero-emission vehicle mandate, with about 1,900 units sold or leased in total, mostly in the United States and Japan. Its 27 kWh nickel-metal hydride battery charged inductively. The second generation, developed with Tesla Motors and Panasonic and released in September 2012, was limited to 2,600 units over a three-year run and sold only in California, with an EPA range rating of 103 miles.
