Tesla/Toyota Partnership

The market for electric vehicles is strong, as companies jockey to be the first to come to the market with an impressive offering. While the Chevy Volt will be the first mainstream and somewhat affordable electric car to hit the market, companies are still working to knock that company and that car off of their thrones.

Enter Tesla and Toyota. These two car companies are going to team up to develop the various aspects needed to create electric vehicles. The two will work together on the production system, the parts for these cars, the actual cars themselves, and the engineering support needed to handle it. The companies are also planning on forming a team of specialists that they will share, constantly working to be on the forefront of electric car technology.

This partnership will bring to life the shuttered Northern California plant from Toyota, as it will be the new facility for the engineering team and for the actual creation of the cars. Tesla will be releasing their model S car, one that is helping to bring power and force into the world of hybrids and electric cars. Toyota is planning on releasing their electric vehicle in 2012. This partnership will help to strengthen Toyota’s electric car offering.

So what does this partnership actually do for the world of electric vehicles? The partnership is going to create a strong bond between two companies who are looking to penetrate the electric car market. Tesla helps to bring style and power to the table, while Toyota helps to bring experience in the market, thanks to the Toyota Prius. Toyota already works to produce cars on an incredible mass market, helping to bring Tesla into a completely different vehicle game.

The result could easily be one of the best electric vehicles on the market as both companies combine their unique powers in the car industry. The companies are going to have the power to work a little harder on new technology and are creating a powerful joint team that will work to create an affordable and accessible electric car.

While the partnership will take a few years to actually get into full force, the results will be somewhat immediate. You can expect to see traces of this powerful partnership in Toyota’s 2012 electric offering. This will serve as a tester for the concepts that the partnership will crank out, giving them the feedback that they need to create a strong vehicle.

While some look down on these collaborations, others realize the importance that they will have on the overall electric vehicle market. These companies will combine to create electric cars that can go further, for cheaper, and at faster speeds. In the end, these partnerships will completely push the technology of electric vehicles, helping to move the cars closer to our expectations. While the change will be slow, Toyota and Tesla will be at the head of the pack.
