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).
