Electric RAV

Post by pietpetoors »

Would love to get my hands on one of these, but guess South Africa will stand in the back of the cue for vehicles like these
Some intersting excerpts:

http://www.autohotest.com/17040/toyota- ... symposium/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In developing the new RAV4 EV, the Japanese automaker works in conjunction with Tesla motor as the supplier of its electric driveline, such as the battery, motor, transmission and power electronics.
The main peanut in the pakkie at Tesla is Elon Musk, ex-South African, were at Pretoria boys high
The electric version of the RAV4 is measured at 220 lbs heavier than that of the V6 model. However, it retains the same acceleration number and time.

Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Daar is 'n maatskappy in Boksburg wat 'n elektries-aangedrewe voertuig gebou het wat op R 15,50 se krag van Johannesburg na Durban kan ry.





Die kabel kos R 125,000 . :lol:
