The electric car division at Toyota is understood to believe that the next step, when it comes to low-emissions vehicles, will be plug-in hybrids with an electric range of just 20-25 miles.
They believe that commuters don’t need a much larger range than this and that more complex vehicles such as the Volts will be carrying too much extra weight in the form of the battery’s capacity that drivers just won’t use.
