The governments of individual countries and mainly the car companies themselves are increasingly addressing the impact of motoring on the environment. I know, this information is nothing new and is being tossed around in the media every day. It also makes it clear to everyone that we will not just get rid of the constant threats of global warming and the thinning of the ozone layer.
Car manufacturers have been dealing with the situation for some time now by developing hybrid or fully electric models, one of which was presented this Monday at the 26th International Electric Vehicle Symposium in Los Angeles . It is owned by the Japanese Toyota , and apart from a number of important information, we also know its basic price.
The Toyota RAV4 is not very popular in our region, but the new model with the nickname EV will allow you to go out into nature without impacting the surrounding fauna and flora. The SUV was developed with the help of Tesla , which has extensive experience in the field of fully electric cars.
The Toyota RAV4 EV got a 115 kW electric motor under the hood, which can dose its power as needed thanks to the Sport and Normal driving modes. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 7 seconds thanks to the unspecified but large torque, the maximum speed stops at 160 km/h. The car manufacturer declares a range of around 160 kilometers on a single charge. Lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 30 kWh can be fully charged from a regular socket in approximately 6 hours.
If all the manufacturer's logos were blinded to the car, I believe that few would guess the Japanese roots. Thanks to the pursuit of the lowest possible drag coefficient, all complex edges disappeared and the chassis was also covered. However, this solution comes in handy when driving on dirt roads or in lighter terrain.
The basic price of the model was set at 49,800 dollars, and the first customers to see it in California at the end of this summer. Information on sales in the European market has not yet been published.
