Toyota Motors North American International Auto Show in order to release a mini-car built iQ-based iQ FT-EV electric concept car, this concept of pure electric cars in 2012 in volume production. Its concept imagines an urban dweller, driving up to 50 miles between home, work and other forms of public transportation, such as high-speed rail. Although, for now, the FT-EV remains a pure concept, it represents a natural pairing of product strategies.

Toyota plans to end 150 with a family of hybrid electric charge capacity, supply the North American consumer trial. Next year will put about 10 new R & D petrol hybrid for consumers in North America trial.
In last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, Toyota has issued a compressed natural gas with a hybrid Camry system concept car that Toyota’s concern for clean energy is not only good at petrol hybrid system. In the release of this FT-EV concept car with iQ micro-car chassis share, a charge of endurance mileage can be achieved more than 50 miles. While the pure electric cars do not have the traditional petrol hybrid systems mature, but it is also an important direction for the future, if the battery capacity can be a bigger breakthrough, the advantages of pure electric vehicles will become quite obvious, especially for such iQ for urban micro-car.
The current North American International Auto Show, Toyota released in addition to this iQ FT-EV electric concept car, but also brought about a new third-generation Prius and Honda Insight new rival, in addition to the Lexus brand new appearance HS250h Hybrid.

The end of this year, Toyota will be provided in the global market, 500 are equipped with a new lithium battery with a domestic power supply capacity of the new generation of rechargeable Prius. The initial production of 500 will be the first to supply the U.S. market in order to hire the type of trial for consumers, followed by the use of collecting all kinds of problems in addition to improve.
The 500 PHVs arriving globally in late 2009 will be used for market and engineering analysis. Lease–fleet customers will monitor the performance and durability of the first-generation lithium-ion battery, while offering real world feedback on how future customers might respond to the plug-in process.
Toyota key observation is that these newly developed lithium batteries in actual use in the stability and endurance capacity, so as to improve the existing hybrid production and R & D version of the pure electric cars ready. Battery technology has been one of the biggest hurdles for electric cars because they are sensitive to extreme temperatures.

but probably not – but your site look solid.
greetings totally enjoyed reading the article. Thought i’d communicate my thanks!
Lithium batteries offer higher capacity and very light weight compared to conventional batteries:.:
lithium batteries are very expensive but they are very lightweight;”~
lithium batteries are nice to use because they are very light and have high power density ::
