    Introducing OVMS for RAV4 EV

    Hi all, Is anyone able to share a final wiring diagram and parts list? I bought the OVMS and am now looking to make the connector. Also, if anyone wants to sell their homemade connectors on eBay or direct through PayPal, I would be interested. I'm a little surprised QC Charge haven't started...

    Who still owns a RAV4 EV?

    My 2013 is still going at 120K miles, but will live an isolated remainder of it's life, being driven in the Welsh countryside. I use it only for the four weeks a year I spend in the UK. Based on my difficult import experience, I'm fairly sure it's the only one in the UK. Ultimately, I'm looking...

    Manufacturer Certificate of Conformity

    Hello everyone, It's been a while since I last logged in. This post is to update you all on the situation with my RAV4 EV import into the UK, but it should be equally representative of EU imports as well. The UK Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) are still refusing to register the...

    Manufacturer Certificate of Conformity

    I'm trying to organize exporting my RAV4 EV back to the UK, and have hit a hurdle on the Individual Vehicle Approval form. Apparently, all EVs being imported into Europe require proof of compliance with ECE Regulation 100.01, which is designed to assure electrical safety. Has anyone had any...

    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    I think the drive unit is plausible, because I remember having power steering warnings and Check EV warnings (switching back and forth) when my drive unit failed while on the freeway a month or two ago.

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    So, I got the car back on Monday. Amazingly, with Toyota paying my rental car, they managed to get the motor swapped out in under three weeks! My first motor swap was three months. The failure cause was cited as water in the motor, but in discussing with Tony, it had to be an internal coolant...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    So today I received confirmation that the rental car is covered 100% by the post-repair warranty, even if it takes 2+ months to get the replacement motor. Now, I'm awaiting coverage of my fuel costs, which so far, has amounted to an expense of approximately $75 a week out of pocket. At a...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    Waiting till Monday now, as the service manager is ill and off-work. I don't believe they've even contacted corporate yet, so I could be waiting even longer to get an answer on the rental car. The way I see the situation is that I do not have a vehicle because the motor they replaced six months...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    No warning other than a Check EV warning light come on three days prior to the failure. When the failure occurred, there were no sounds or vibrations. Most probable cause is the electronic circuit board within the unit, possibly corrosion? Today I had a call from Toyota Carlsbad telling me...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    So after having my motor replaced six months ago, it's now completely failed and will be stuck at Toyota Carlsbad for a few months, while another motor is sourced. Not happy! :x

    ALL POSTS - Replacement Traction Battery

    I might be next for a battery swap too. I'm at 97K mileage, and the car lost all power on the freeway yesterday. After I pulled over, it would only go into neutral or park. Had both the Check EV warning and power steering warnings come up on the display. It's now at Carlsbad, awaiting...
