Abstract :
Two years ago, Toyota Motor Corporation (Gardena, California) and Tesla Motors (Palo Alto, California) announced that they had entered into a collaborative partnership. Toyota wanted to come out with an electric vehicle (EV), and they wanted to do so sooner rather than later [1]. In the meantime, Tesla Motors was developing their Model S, an all-electric roadster [2]. Their collaboration produced the 2012 RAV4 EV-an all-electric-powered, five-passenger, cross-over sport utility vehicle (SUV).
