Al, Thanks so much for this flyer on the Rav4 EV. This is just the kind of info I want to take on the Electric Vehicle Initiative this summer. I, too, feel that the NiMH batteries can hav a major part in bringing EVs to families. And bringing EVs to families is the very focused goal of the EVI. Thanks again!
