Toyota says it has no plans to sell the Toyota iQ EV despite revealing a production-ready concept of the electric city car ahead of its debut at this week’s Paris motor show. The all-electric iQ is 135mm longer than a regular Toyota iQ and gets drag-reducing wheels and a two-tone paint job.

Power comes from a 12kWh battery pack that can be fast-charged to 80 per cent capacity in just 15 minutes. The standard charge will also take no longer than three hours. The battery pack is located in the floor plan of the chassis to lower the center of gravity and to offer the best possible protection in the event of an accident.

Toyota says the iQ EV can travel up to 85km on a single charge, with a its 47kW/163Nm electric motor capable of powering it on to a top speed of 135km/h. Accelerating from 0-100km/h takes 14 seconds. Inside, the iQ EV is much the same as the petrol-powered Toyota iQ, but with a few white accents. Drivers can access vehicle information via a 3.5-inch screen at the top of the console.
