2010 LA Auto Show: 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV and 2011 Corolla
The second-generation RAV4 EV presented today has been developed in conjunction with Tesla; it weighs 220 pounds more than a RAV4 V6, but accelerates almost as quickly. To achieve this, the suspension, the steering and the location of major components on the SUV were rethought in order to balance the heavy weight of the battery pack while keeping the same cargo volume.
