Toyota Touting 103 Mile Range And Car Pool Lane Access For Only $49,800 With 2013 RAV4 EV

Toyota said the electric version of its RAV4 sport utility vehicle goes on sale the last week of this month at a price close to $50,000 before government incentives designed to speed the adoption of alternative fuel cars.

The SUV, which has an Environmental Protection Agency rated range of 103 miles on one charge -- roughly 20 to 30 miles more than those of the other electric vehicles it competes against -- is a collaboration with Tesla Motors, the luxury electric car maker based in Palo Alto.

But consumers will pay for those extra miles.
