toyota Toyota/Lexus EV

[Sujeeva Premaratne]

Toyota (Lexus) takes orders for an EV from 40,000 GBP upwards, at last!

Sure it will have the precision, fit, finish and the refinement of Lexus but lacks the Autonomy of #EV according to the published data. The intelligence specs are far behind not only Tesla, even Nissan Leaf.  

.....and this indicates the building of a coffin for hyped up FCHV as well!

They are late, rivals are much more advanced today.

But this is great first step of #Toyota, towards electrification.
