Toyota RAV4 EV for general public, Scion iQ EV just for fleets

The Toyota RAV4 plug-in electric will be available for general sales in 2012, but will not include a fast charger. However, the Scion iQ electric car will only be available for fleet sales.

No fast charging for RAV4 EV

No fast charging for Toyota plug-ins for now

Last week a number of rumors emerged claiming that the Toyota RAV4 plug-in electric SUV would not be available for general sales, but only for fleets. According to the AutoObserver, Toyota has confirmed that the RAV4 EV will indeed be available for general sales; however, the Scion iQ plug-in will only be available for fleet sales.

Additionally, when both go into production in 2012, neither will utilize fast chargers.

Until the Society of Automotive Engineers International (SAE) reaches an agreement on the standardization of fast-charging products, Toyota is going to delay adding fast chargers to its electric vehicles. In the interim, Toyota also wants to further study how much fast-charging reduces battery pack life over time.

Consequently, when the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid hits dealerships in 2012, fast-charging products will also not be an option.

You’d think it would make more sense the other way around.
