Toyota prototyped an electric vehicle (EV) based on the iQ and demonstrated it yesterday in Shenzhen, China. The demonstration took place along with the 25th World Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition (EVS25), an international symposium on electric vehicles.
Though the company announced the iQ-based EV at the 2009 North American International Auto Show, this is the first time that the vehicle has driven in a public place. Its release date has not been determined yet.
Japanese automakers are really keen when it comes to hybrids and EVs and Nissan has already revealed that in the next four years, three new EV models will be introduced (including an electric Infiniti car, a small commercial van and a small urban car).
