DENVER, Oct. 17, 2012 – Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. today announced the
arrival of the 2013 Scion iQ EV in the United States. The iQ EV is a battery- electric
four-seater city commuter car designed for car-sharing programs, in urban and campus
environments.

“Toyota believes battery-electric vehicles have the potential to play a role in 
future mobility strategies,” says Chris Hostetter, TMS group vice president of strategic
planning. “Up to now, cost and convenience issues have limited BEV’s appeal with
a broad consumer market. Toyota developed the [iQ EV](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/03/toyotas-scion-iq-ev-the-future-of-electric-mobility/)
specifically as a city commuter, for use in an urban environment, where driving 
distances are likely to be short, charging opportunities numerous, and its compact
proportions beneficial.”
