With its Tesla-designed powertrain and 41.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, the RAV4 EV is the first all-electric SUV built since the 1990s. In sport mode, the roomy RAV4 reaches 60 mph in about 7 seconds, with a 100mph top speed. Unlike many EVs, the Toyota can also rack up the miles. The EPA conservatively estimates a 103-mile driving range, but real-world drivers are easily logging 130 miles or more. From $50,610

The biggest mistake it's really a Rav2--2 wheel drive duckling that won't function in Colorado or cold weather states. Forget this costly Edsel!

gizmowiz, the regular internal combustion RAV4 also has optional 2-wheel drive, so I hope you complained to Toyota about that too.

PopSci, ban your spam filter programmers from the building--and the idiot who specified 200-character comment limits.
