    Any get 132 miles using the freeway?

    OK, so I am looking at trying to get from SB to Anaheim and it is 132 miles. Clearly, this is more than I can go, even with an extended charge. Does anyone have that chart that Tony made (I think) of how many miles you can get per hour of charging? I am wondering if I go for an extended...

    To keep the RAV, or not keep the RAV, that's the question?

    My lease is up in July, so this is a bit premature, but like many on this list, I've been thinking about whether to keep (buy) the RAV or let it go when the lease ends. My daily driving averages 20 miles a day with longer trips on the weekends. I have two kids that I routinely cart around...

    2/3 of early Model S cars can expect drivetrain failure

    "...a Weibull analysis of that data suggests that two-thirds of early (2012 and 2013) Model S cars can expect a drivetrain failure within 60,000 miles." Seems like this will have an impact on our Ravs as well. http://bit.ly/1PZDUtC

    Mileage question

    So I want to go to Los Alamos from Santa Barbara and back. If I take hwy 154 I climb 2000 feet, then drop down to valley. I'd have to do the same heading back. Total miles 102 according to Google. Or, I can stick to the hwy 101 and go around through Gaviota. 114 miles round trip, but a minimal...

    Range - wondering if I can make it 138 miles

    I need to make a trip from Santa Barbara to Irvine in the next couple of weeks. It is 138 miles according to Google maps. When I complete an extended charge, my GOM usually says 106-110 miles, but I see people on this board well exceeding that. The road from SB to Irvine is mostly flat. Going...

    Firmware upgrade fails - I'm back in a rental. :(

    So, at my 5K service, one of the firmware upgrades glitched, and now the car is dead. Dealer says it might have to wait for a Tesla engineer. That could take awhile.

    Entune sending charge interruption notice over and over

    OK, so my EV isn't/wasn't plugged in. Suddenly, I am getting the following warning about every three minutes from Entune: Our systems indicate that your RAV4 EV vehicle's charging process was interrupted. Charge may have stopped due to an error with the charging cable and/or plug. If you have...

    Entune App - Pandora and iHeart Radio No sound

    OK, so I am using Entune on a iPhone 5 running iOS 7. When my phone is physically plugged in to the EV I can launch both Pandora and iHeart Radio, but there is no sound. Pandora shows me the song that it is supposedly playing, but no sound. Any ideas? I can play music from iTunes through...

    My RavEV is back!

    The heater is fixed and I have my Rav back. One (and maybe only) good thing about losing your new car for over a month while parts are acquired is that when it's done, it was like having a new car again. It is such a nicer ride than the Prius (and I love the Prius). I'd forgotten how fun the...

    Factory Roof Rack?

    I was at the dealer today and asked about a OEM roof rack. I was told that a 2012 roof rack wouldn't fit a 2013 RavEV. I said that I thought the body was the same and was told that it wouldn't fit. Has anyone had an OEM roof rack installed on their EV?

    RAV EV uses 2012 body, yes?

    In terms of buying accessories (like mats), even though I have a 2013 RavEV, accessories for the 2012 RAV will fit, yes? Thanks! DB

    EV Service at any Toyota dealer?

    Hello All- Have people been able to take their EV's to non-EV certified dealers for service? I noticed in the disclosure document, it says that all service needs to be done by a certified EV dealer, but then I've read here in the forum that Toyota honors its warrantee work at any dealer (and...

    When to get EVSE - before or after taking delivery

    I am thinking about leasing the RaveEV this month. I am wondering about the timing of the EVSE installation for the folks here in the forum. Did you have your EVSE installed after getting your Rav? Before? It's clear that the EVSE is essential, so I am curious how that works. Also, for...

    RavEV or Leaf

    Hello- First off, a big thanks to all that have shared on this forum. It's been very helpful to go through it and learn more about the RAVEV. I am trying to decide between a Leaf and RAVEV, but it looks like I'll have to see what Toyota does with the incentive program after today. If it goes...
