1987 Toyota EV-30

The EV-30 was a concept two-seat electric vehicle by Toyota that was first shown at the October 1987 Tokyo Motor Show.

The body was made from resin and was shown in both open and closed cockpit forms, although both forms had no doors. The front bumper sloped back and upwards, running into the cabin to form the dashboard. The rear bumper sloped forward and down, running into the cabin to form the side armrests. The construction was lightweight, being designed as a LSV for use inside shopping malls, hospitals and similar environments.

Zinc-bromide batteries of 106 V were used to power an AC induction motor. This gaves it a top speed of 27 mph. When driven at 19 mph it had a range of 103 miles. The batteries could be charged from a standard Japanese 100 V mains socket.
