Toyota Says RAV4 EV Will Be Built Alongside Normal RAV4s in Canada

Last month, Toyota confirmed that its electric RAV4 EV was on track to go on sale in 2012. It reconfirmed that timetable today with the announcement that the electric SUV will be built alongside its gas-powered counterpart at Toyota’s Woodstock, Ontario, plant. Electric carmaker Tesla will supply the soft-roader’s motor, gearbox, battery, and electronics, which will be shipped as assembled units from Tesla’s Palo Alto, California, facility. It may only be a humble crossover, but we’re  intrigued to see how this fruit of the Toyota/Tesla tie-up turns out.
