Toyota announced the launch of an electric car in Japan – the Toyota C + pod. It is an ultracompact EV for two.
The key point of the Toyota C + pod is that it is small, environmentally friendly and basically an efficient transport tool.
With a 9 kWh battery, it can travel around 150 km (93 miles) around the city, at speeds of up to 60 km / h (37 mph). The motor has a peak of only 9 kW.
According to the press release, in 2021 Toyota will sell the C + pod to “corporate users, local governments and other organizations that have been exploring new options to drive the popularization of BEVs.” The full-scale launch for individual customers is scheduled for 2022.
The prices of the C + capsule are much lower than those of a full-size car, especially electric,
Grade X costs approx. $ 15,940
Grade G costs approx. $ 16,580
Production of the Toyota C + capsule is planned to take place at Toyota’s Motomachi plant in Japan.
