Torque News's video: Toyota to Debut Three Electric Vehicles This Year in USA

Toyota may soon introduce a Gen-3 RAV4 EV if things go according to the plans Toyota hinted as company just announced that it's bringing three electric vehicles to the United States in 2021. Torque News Toyota reporter John Goreham has the details about Toyota's upcoming electric vehicles this year. Toyota announced today that the company will debut three new electric vehicles in the American market this year. These vehicles will augment the plug-in hybrid-electric Prius Prime and RAV4 Prime already on sale, as well as the Mirai hydrogen-fuel-cell- EV that is sort of on sale. “We continue to be leaders in electrification that began with our pioneering introduction of the Prius nearly 25 years ago,” said Bob Carter, TMNA executive vice president of sales. “Toyota’s new electrified product offerings will give customers multiple choices of powertrain that best suits their needs.” Toyota included the above image which shows fans nothing. The image on the far right appears to be the existing RAV4 Prime introduced about a year ago. Or is it a new Gen-3 RAV4 BEV? All Toyota has said thus far is that the three new electrified models will be two BEVs and a PHEV. If that image is not a RAV4 BEV, then why did Toyota include it? Solid-State Batteries Toyota made no mention in its press release about its potentially game-changing solid-state batteries. If we get any news related to Toyota's solid-state batteries for electric vehicles it will be posted immediately. Toyota then launched into a very long explanation of why its studies show that plug-in hybrids offer equal environmental benefits to battery-electric vehicles. This is something that every PHEV owner already knows and every BEV EVangelist will never believe. What Toyota does not address is the fact that many EV owners don't consider saving the environment their main goal. For this segment of green vehicle buyers, the primary goal has shifted to moving away from liquid fuels entirely, regardless of the expense and regardless of the cost-benefit analysis for individual buyers.
