By the way, the one thing I don't like about the Rav4 is the swing open rear door with spare tire hanging off the back. (Lift up hatchbacks are much better IMHO.)[/IMG]
With an aim to market the EV in the United States in 2012, prototypes will be made combining the Toyota RAV4 model with a Tesla electric powertrain. Tesla plans to produce and deliver a fleet of prototypes to Toyota for evaluation within this year. The first prototype has already been built and is now undergoing testing.

And so history repeats itself.

Mods, I'm having a hard time telling which is the real Toyota/ Tesla Rav4 thread.
The RAV4-EV doesn't have the spare tire on the rear door. Without the exhaust system, there was enough room to mount the tire underneath. The lack of a visible spare tire is the easiest way to distinguish a RAV4-EV from gas-burning RAV4s of the same body style.

The left gauge show a 160, I wonder if this represents peak power output for the motor, 160kw, or if it is RPM (x10)?
Updated: Actually I guess that would have to be x100 not 10
