EV RAV on the way

An electric version of the Toyota RAV4 SUV is to be developed as a joint initiative between the Japanese carmaker and California-based electric sports car manufacturer Tesla.

The plan is to market the RAV EV in the US in 2012, after evaluation of a test fleet of prototypes currently being built.

Toyota and Tesla announced their general intent to cooperate on EV development last May.
