One of the first production EVs of the modern era, a contemporary of the GM EV1.
2002 was the only model year for non-fleet buyers to buy a new RAV4 EV outright. The price tag was $42,000, minus the $9000 state rebate and $4000 income-tax credit, making the actual cost $29,000. That comes to about $49,425 in 2023 dollars, and nearly twice as much as a gasoline-fueled '02 RAV4.
This one appears to have been banged up pretty well in a couple of fender-benders, and we can assume the battery pack was tired by the end. The electric motor is still present, attached to the transaxle, so someone wishing to build a fairly quick electric 1992-1995 Honda Civic could do a near-bolt-in powertrain swap.
