    I think someone posted a thread within the past few weeks that Toyota announced it will be making an EV version of the iQ. Take a look at that thread if you can find it. This is great news that more manufacturers, and especially Toyota, are planning production EVs.

    (by the way, welcome to Prius chat. I see that you listed your location as Earth. That's a good thing - we need to reduce pollution and environmental damage and save this beautiful planet.
    FYI: I didn't say "welcome to earth," because I just finished reading Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, and he mentions that considering the distance of other stars and planets in other solar systems, the only way "aliens" could get this far would be to travel faster than the speed of light - and according to Einstein's equations and confirmation at Fermi Lab particle accelerator, it is not physically possible for anything to travel faster than the speed of light. So we're safe! )

    You have a 2010 Prius on order? Awesome!
