Electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular as people become more aware of the benefits they offer. Toyota has noticed, and they've just unveiled 15 different concept electric vehicles.

Toyota's New Lineup of 13 New Electric Concept Vehicles
Toyota has brought 15 new electric concept vehicles to the Tokyo Motor Show, including their most popular cars. Here are five of the top ones.
The Concept i-Road
It is a small, all-electric concept vehicle with what Toyota calls 'personal mobility. This little guy is meant to help city commuters get around quickly while avoiding traffic. It has two wheels in front and one wheel in the back for maximum maneuverability.
The Concept e-Palette
It is Toyota's newest electric concept vehicle. It has no conventional controls because it relies entirely on an artificial intelligence program called 'Mobility Teammate.' You can use it for various purposes, including ridesharing and package delivery. It comes as no surprise because Toyota showed off their new 'e-Palette Alliance' at CES 2018 alongside Amazon and Uber.
The Concept D
Toyota designed this sleek sports car with an all-electric drivetrain to meet the high standards that traditional sports cars have set. It has a carbon-fiber body and a low center of gravity for easy handling. This thing is meant to be quick, so it uses its 93kW battery pack and a powerful motor to get things going.
The Concept i-Road Plus
It isn't the first Toyota car designed with two front wheels and one back wheel. This one, however, is a little bit bigger and has a more traditional design. It's meant to be a good alternative for commuters and families in urban areas.
The Concept i-Cockpit
Toyota took notes from their racing programs when designing this car. As a result, features like independently adjustable electric seats and a comprehensive dashboard have created a futuristic vehicle. In addition, this car has front and rear electric motors and individual batteries for each wheel.
Conclusion
Toyota has shown off 15 electric concept vehicles in preparation for the upcoming car season. The company plans to have a fleet of self-driving electric cars available for athletes and tourists. These cars are designed to reduce emissions and improve traffic flow in the city. While it's still unclear which models will be released, this announcement shows that Toyota takes electric cars seriously.
