Hi all, Been a long time since I posted here. We bought one of the 2012 Rav4 EVs back in 2013 and had it for over 7 years. Sold it in 2020 and finally got around to writing up a little post on the car and selling it. Loved the car, miss it, but now it's serving a new family...

SOLD My wife got a new EV and we only have room for 2 cars in our family, so the time has come: 2012 Toyota Rav4 EV, Shoreline Blue Pearl, $18,000 -Single owner, very good condition, 88,500 miles -8 year/125,000 mile Platinum Warranty good through May 2021 -Michelin Defender tires, decent...

I agree. The driving position in the Rav is much more comfortable for me, and getting in and out of the Rav is never a problem.

I haven't done the Tony test in ages..... I'll guess 125 plus or minus 20. :) But seriously, I'll get that done in the next week or so, seems I still have some time at home on my hands....

7 years. 88k miles. May 2013: bought the car Feb 2015: first drive unit replaced at 25k miles Sept 2015: JdeMO installed April 2016: Rear ended, rear door and bumper replaced, bill to the other guy's insurance was ~$5,000 April 2017: second drive unit placed at 57k miles May 2020: 7 years...

Our 2012 Toyota Rav4 EV is now six years old and still going strong. We've logged 81,500 miles so far. For the first 5 years the Rav was our primary car and we drove about 14-15,000 miles a year. One year ago we got a new EV and the Rav became our secondary family car so we drive it a bit less...

Saw this Caltrans Rav in Sacramento this morning. I remember reading here that Caltrans bought a good number of them. I've only seen a couple of the Caltrans Ravs over the years, good to see them still in service. UC Davis Unitrans has or had a 2012, but I haven't seen it lately, instead been...

Pandora will disappear from Entune in November. Have used Pandora a lot to play music for my kids. Can of course still connect my phone via Bluetooth but the onscreen menu was nice and usually worked well.

Did you contact Hanlees in Davis? They replaced my motor back in April and didn't have a problem with the JdeMO. Service rep just asked me what it was and what it did. Didn't mentioned it again.

One of the advantages other sites like Facebook have over this forum is ease of posting pics. We don't all need to post pics, but we do get a lot of "What's this?" posts with a pic. Posting something on photobucket, or whatever site, and sharing that link here was a roundabout way of sharing a...

How many miles did you have?

Did they tell you if the contactors in the pack were at fault?

I've read previous reports that Japan's nuclear industry has resisted adoption of solar panels to avoid the competition. According to this report solar adoption increased significantly after Fukushima but that this might be coming to an end...

Over 94,000 miles Bassman?! Wow, that must be the most in the fleet.

Thanks Tony

Yeah will do, I saw one of your posts that the 12 V should actually read over 14 V so I figured mine was nearing the end of it's lifespan.

I've been lucky then at 30 months on the original 12 V battery. Measured it the other day, 12.3 V after sitting overnight, 13.4 after driving 50 miles.

Yes. Count me in. With a J-Pack (??Guessing at product name here) we'll have to consider changing the name of our cars to the Jav4 EV.

On the phone scheduling my 15,000 mile appt now. Asking if they have the firmware updates, or if they have done them before. Person on phone doesn't know, but is asking me if I would like the oil changed while I'm there...

I'm curious how open Nissan will be to charging Toyotas.... I'm guessing not most of the time. The Nissan dealer QC here in Davis is gated and closed after hours. But there is a free (for the time being at least) 24 h access QC at the Mondavi Center in Davis. Gets a lot of business. I look...
