Toyota has announced that it will be working with Electricite de France SA (EDF) to “evaluate Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles in Europe.” Toyota partnered with EDF not to develop plug-in hybrids vehicles but rather to work on the charging infrastructure for France, which could then be extended to other European countries. EDF will also receive a small number of plug-in hybrids for its fleet, further testing the real-world viability of the plug-in hybrid.
EDF is the is the leading electricity producer in Europe and is active in all business aspects of electricity: production, transport, distribution, energy supply and trading. Toyota has sold over 100,000 hybrids in Europe.
