The conceptual Toyota FT-Me electric vehicle has been unveiled by [Toyota Motor Europe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-suv) as a cityscape-ready model that would work well for navigating tight urban environments. The vehicle measures in at just under 100-inches in length and 937-pounds in weight, and will offer operators a 28mph maximum speed. The vehicle is expected to offer up to 62-miles of range per charge and is equipped with a solar rook that will offer an additional 18-miles of range each day when parked in the sun.

The conceptual Toyota FT-Me electric vehicle is paired with a rear hatch to allow for easy loading and unloading to make it great for [package delivery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev). The interior also allows the passenger seat to be removed to make room for a folding wheelchair or bicycle.
