The 2013 Toyota RAV4 EV signifies Toyota's foray into the electric vehicle sector, created in collaboration with Tesla. It is powered by an electric motor that produces 154 horsepower, coupled with a single-speed automatic transmission. The lithium-ion battery pack enables an EPA-rated 103 miles of range, a standout for its time. Its performance doesn't sacrifice the typical RAV4 convenience, but enhances the drive with smooth, quiet acceleration. Inside, Toyota provides an 8-inch touch screen infotainment system, heated front seats and navigation as standard, alongside a suite of safety features such as stability control, traction control, and six airbags. However, this EV model was only sold in California and in limited numbers, exclusive in its availability.
