The Toyota Scion iQ Electric Car Will be Released in 2012

Toyota’s Scion iQ Electric car has been heard of for more than a year now. During a recent meeting, it was announced that the official launch of all-electric Scion iQ will be in 2012 for the United States.

If you’re looking for an adorable and “green” car, then you'll definitely find what you're looking for in this vehicle; however, if you have a long commute, you might want to wait until the Toyota Scion iQ's battery technology improves, as it has been noted that it can only go 50 miles on a single charge.

The Scion iQ's MSRP has yet to be announced and the vehicle’s price is sure to influence potential buyers one way or the other. Along with the price of gas today, some buyers may find that any price for the battery-powered Scion iQ will be worth it in the end.
