#ToyotaElectricVehicles

Toyota, a pioneer in hybrid systems since the late 20th century, hasn’t remained on the electric car industry’s cusp. But, that will soon change.

Toyota is beginning verification testing of its wireless charging system for its plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles.

Unless Toyota Europe is confident that electricity supplies will be decarbonized in the future, the Japanese automaker would consider leaving the electric vehicle market.

Although Toyota rolled out its second all-electric vehicle today, the company is making it clear that EV technology is not on the forefront of its battle plans, which will focus more on conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids. 

Debuting later this week at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Toyota iQ EV has just been unveiled as the second all-electric vehicle in the brand’s lineup.
