Folks,
I have converted my Ford Ranger to electric because there isn't a car like
the RAV4-EV available for me to purchase. For me the RAV4-EV is the
standard.
That is why I thought it was interesting, that after all these years, Road
and Track Magazine, in their March 2009 issue decided to include the RAV4-EV
in their road test of battery electric vehicles titled "Electric
Elecctrics", page 76.
Not only is it included, it is presented first. Of course their are the
medias obligatory, negative, remarks about coal fired powered plants. But,
here it is, after ten years, testing cars with ten year old battery packs,
making an honorable benchmark.
What a remarkable car!
Sorry, there is no link for the article. But there is a link where you can
have online access for 99 cents. A worthwhile investment to see this car
receive such notice, so late in its life cycle.

Of course there are others presented also, such as the E-Box, Tesla and BMWs
Mini, but this is to be expected of worthy and notable recent entries.
Cheers,

Plug-in, we have the technology, the NiMH powered RAV4 EV is the proof.
