The acceleration was significantly better than my RAV, no doubt due to the Li-Ion battery pack weighing about 400-500 lbs less than the Toyota’s NiMH pack. No mistaking it, this is a test car. I was very impressed with the ride. The first cars will be available next fall, about the time of the Chevy Volt debut.
