SAN JOSE, Calif., July 16 (UPI) -- Electric car producer Telsa Motor Corp. said it would team up with Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. to produce an electric version of Toyota's RAV4.
Telsa said in a statement a prototype of the sport utility vehicle had already been built and its goal now was "to produce increasingly affordable electric cars for mainstream buyers -- relentlessly driving down the cost of EVs," meaning electric vehicles, The Detroit News reported Friday.
Tesla, in its stock market debut this year, set aside $50 million in shares for Toyota to purchase. Tesla has also purchased a former Toyota factory in Fremont, Calif., where it produced cars in partnership with General Motors Co.
