Toyota to Debut Battery Electric Vehicle Concept at 2009 Detroit Show

A Spartan press release accompanied by a teaser photo is all that Toyotas has revealed about its new battery-powered electric vehicle FT-EV concept car that will make its world premiere at the forthcoming Detroit auto show in mid-January. If ever there was a one-button press release, this is it: "Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. will display a battery electric vehicle concept at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. This display marks the world debut of this concept vehicle." Well, there you go. Guess we'll have to be patient for a few weeks until Toyota fills us in on the details. We remind you that Toyota's Detroit Show stand will also host the debut of the all-new Prius Hybrid.
