Autovin is the company contracted by Toyota to inspect their leased vehicles that are at the last two months of their leases. See step 2 in the website. https://www.toyotafinancial.com/pub/static/lease_end/index.html#ninetydays I will be contacting them soon for an inspection as the lease for...

I made a deposit on the Tesla.com website for the Model 3. Since my lease is up on the RAV4 EV in late 2016, I may look at getting the Chevy Bolt when it comes out in late 2016 and then also get the Model 3 when it comes out in late 2017.

I sent an email to Costco customer service asking them about any plans to install chargers at their warehouse locations. Here's the reply. We appreciate you taking the time to email Costco Wholesale. At this time, we do not have plans for a company-wide roll out for chargers at this point...

My license frame arrived today.

I just ordered one of these license plate frames. Thanks jimbo69ny for setting this up for us.

I just ordered one of these magnets for my RAV4 EV.

Maybe once every couple of months I have used the Sports mode. Most of the time the standard mode has plenty of power for me. But the few times I did put it into Sports mode was I thought I may need more power to pass vehicles to get over on another lane or two. I probably didn't really need...

I prefer Option B.

After several attempts to contact the Service Advisor, he called back today with the following information about the DTC codes, which resulted in the replacement of the ECU computer in my RAV4 EV. U1146 - lost communications with the electric propulsion system U039G - he couldn't find any...

I actually didn't get the information on what the codes stand for. By the time I got to the dealer to pick-up the car, the service advisor had already left for the day. I'll try calling him tomorrow and see if he can get me the information on the codes.

Got my RAV4 EV back from the dealer today. It was quicker than the original estimate of the middle of this week to get the new ECU. Brought it in to the dealer last Friday with the Check EV System message, they received and replaced with the new ECU today (Monday). I got the call from the...

This morning I took my 2013 RAV4 EV to the dealer for its 10,000 mile service. I got it back a couple hours later with a clean bill of health, tires rotated and fluids filled. An hour after I picked it up from the dealer, the Check EV System message came up. I have never seen this message...

I had my 2013 RAV4 EV since October 2013 and is now at 9600 miles. So far it has been problem free. I look forward to driving it everyday. It's the best vehicle I ever had.

Costco has a promotion on Bridgestone tires with $70 off on a set of 4 tires through August 3rd. I had them changed out my RAV4 EV's Yokohama Geolander tires with Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia tires. These Ecopia tires are quieter and have more traction than the Geolanders. I used to hear...
