The newly stacked up ultra flat and compact Lithium-Ion battery provides a range of 105 Kilometers (65 miles) while taking up minimal space, so that the car can seat four comfortably and still provide space for cargo.



The EV will undergo testing in Europe this year and will be on a lease-out program in Europe from 2012. Also headed from Toyota to Geneva are the Yaris HSD Concept concept car, the seven-seater hybrid Prius Van + and the sports car concept FT-86 II. The Toyota press conference will be held on the 1st of March.
