"After unveiling the FT-EV last year, Toyota has followed up with the FT-EV II. &amp;quot;FT&amp;quot; in Toyota-speak stands for &amp;quot;Future Toyota,&amp;quot; and the EV II represents Toyota&amp;#039;s vision of what an electric vehicle should look like. Powering the car is an electric motor that features a high-powered lithium-ion battery. This system provides a cruise range of more than 90 km (56 miles) on a full charge. It allows the car to achieve a maximum speed of more than 100 km/h (61 mph), making it just capable to run on American freeways. And because it&amp;#039;s fully electric, there are no CO2 emissions.   What&amp;#039;s noteworthy about the FT-EV II is that it has no steering wheel or foot pedals. The driver uses other devices to accelerate, brake and steer. The console incorporates a long list of information gauges customized for the driver.   &amp;quot;Enhanced communications functions enable the linking of individual drivers&amp;#039; information on a network, allowing the vehicle to connect with services that go beyond car navigation, such as recommending information tailored to the individual&amp;#039;s preferences and downloading music and movie content. Furthermore, the vehicle can connect to home networks to play a role in storing energy and saving large volumes of data, making the vehicle a new information device in the networked society of the future,&amp;quot; says Toyota.   It sounds like Toyota is attempting to change the way we view urban transportation with the FT-EV II. In our opinion, the EV II can be likened to a giant iPhone on four wheels. There&amp;#039;s no word from Toyota as to when, or if, the FT-EV II will be produced. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
