Toyota close to unveiling IQ EV

Interesting. It looks like Toyota will finalise the spec of the IQ with a range of 65 miles and a top speed of 70 mph - significantly less than competitor vehicles.

This is brave and makes a lot of sense. 65 miles is more than adequate for everyday driving and commuting, whilst 70mph is likewise more than sufficient for this type of driving.

It should also reduce the price, currently the main barrier to purchase.
