At a briefing about its electric RAV4 EV sport-utility vehicle (SUV) in Newport Beach, California, this week, Toyota Motor said that the small SUV - equipped with a Tesla Motors' motor - will set pace for mileage per charge.

Stating that electric RAV4's mileage per charge will be significantly more than that of the electric vehicles from its competitors, Toyota revealed at the briefing that its small electric SUV will be capable of achieving 113 miles (182 kilometers) on one full charge.

Further elaborating that the full recharge of the electric RAV4 takes approximately six hours, Toyota revealed that the vehicle uses a 240-volt outlet, and that its 41.8-kilowatt battery has two charging modes.

According to the information shared by the company, the electric RAV4 can go nearly 92 miles with a "standard" charge; and also has an "extended" charge option - which boosts the vehicle's mileage range to 113 miles in real-world driving - for facilitating longer trips.

Disclosing the electric RAV4 is scheduled to hit the company's California dealerships in about one month's time, Toyota said that the $49,800-priced SUV will be the auto market's only all-electric crossover, and will thus qualify for $10,000 in combined federal and state incentives.

Noting that electric RAV4's "driving performance, dynamics and cargo capacity are equal to or exceed the gas-powered RAV4 V-6," Bill Fay - Group VP of US Toyota-brand sale - said that the small SUV was "the most practical, versatile and convenient electric vehicle on the market."
