Toyota's First Electric Car?

Huh? Autocar.co.uk is reporting:
"Toyota's iQ-based electric car, due to be launched in 2010, will get its own body style to create a stand-alone model which will become Toyota’s first all-electric car" (emphasis added.)
I'm pretty sure I just stepped out of my 2002 Toyota RAV4 EV. With 69,000 miles on the original battery, it still gets over 100 miles per charge.

Toyota still wishing away it's own achievement. What's that about?

I'll be happy to see Toyota release a car with a plug, but I'm not holding my breath.
