    Aussie Toyota HiLux EV plan confirmed
    Melbourne-based electric truck company may start production of battery-powered HiLux in 2023
    Australian electric truck manufacturer SEA could be less than 12 months away from launching a Toyota HiLux EV.

    The Melbourne company already has a battery-electric Toyota HiLux ute powered by its own SEA-Drive 70 powertrain, which delivers 700Nm of torque and about 300km of range (unladen) between recharges.

    SEA is at least the third Australian company to reveal plans for an electric ute, following H2X Global and Roev.

    Oh look, another mod....

    Good for them. This vehicle will never make it to the US market though, so this story is kind of pointless to share with us.

    Toyota doesn’t like EVs and that’s why I like Toyota.
