I have the Leviton EVB40-PST Evr-Green 400 EV charger, 40-Amp, Surface Mount, 25-Foot Cord, Requires 50Amp circuit. It has been making loud clicking noises during charging. I suspect the contactor is going bad? I have a part number from the unit HCC-2XU24GG291240/277 VAC 40 FLA 200 LRA . It is...

I have had a Leviton EVR40 charger for about 3 years now. I used it on the Rav4, our Kia SoulEV and now the Chevy Bolt. This morning I heard a strange noise that I thought was coming from the roof. It was early and I just could not figure it out. I had to go so as I entered the garage I...

I still have a Curt Hitch with a 1 1/4 inch receiver that is a direct fit for the Rav4EV. $90 I also have the rear cargo mat from Weather Tech in a grey color. $70 I also have the rear bumper cover that is a Toyota OEM part. Black ABS it covers the thin painted? OEM cover that came with the...

We just traded in the Rav4EV for a Highlander Hybrid. With two electric cars (Kia Soul EV) we were limited in distance. We have a big dog (Great Pyrenees) that we often take with us. He fits in the back of the Rav4EV, though there is no air outlets back there. We are moving back to Santa...

The rain we had the other day (Thursday and Friday) is the first rain that my Rav4EV has ever been driven in. I was probably out there for 30 to 45 minutes in what seemed like a real downpour. Today Saturday I was checking on some stuff I had located in the back compartment just inside the...

I just saw an ad from Kia of Irvine. They have 2 Kia Soul+ cars for $179 per month with zero down, 36 months. The catch is that it includes a $1000 discount if you purchased from Kia in Garden Groove within the last year. So figure on putting down $1000 to cover that amount. You are still left...

I went by the Tesla facility in Costa Mesa and drove several Tesla vehicles. I first drove the new 4 wheel drive MSRP $70k car. It was fun and entertaining. I then drove their fastest car the P85+ or what ever they call it with a 0 to 60 in the 3 second range. Great fun. I tried to get the...

I was surprised to find out that the new Rav4 2015 has blind spot monitoring. I was looking on eBay and I saw the right and left mirrors for sale as well as the control unit. I just wondered if it would be possible to modify our mirrors. Probably not worth it. I know there are some kits on...

I am heading out to Santa Barbara and Buellton. There is a Marriott that has a Tesla Supercharger. Will it work with the JESLA and a NEMA 14-50?

By Elon Musk, CEO TAGS: CUSTOMERS / MODEL S / Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters. That is no longer the case. They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology. Tesla...

1. Tesla Model S Performance 4.2 seconds You probably aren't surprised by this one. The Model S is comfortably the most powerful electric car on sale, and while it's also the heaviest it still offers super-sedan performance. If you like that airliner-on-takeoff feeling on your commute, this is...

Here is the email that I got from the UK. I wanted to get this car last year but it was put off for lack of batteries and brisk sales in Europe and Japan. I think it is a winner in that it has both battery and ICE, 4 wheel drive, and is a SUV. I really like my RAV4EV but really wanted this...

Here is the press release from Honda. Kind of interesting how the auto industry in Japan views electric vehicles. Corporate Japan May 30, 2014 Japan Automakers Advance Electric Charging Infrastructure with New Company, Nippon Charge Service -Established to help build charging infrastructure...

sobayimage was kind enough to find a source for a pressurized hood lift that negates the need to hold a heavy hood while you try and put the small arm into the hood to hold it up. He had to do some drilling which did not excite me, so I looked around and found a source on eBay that is tailor...

I noticed this morning that I received emails concerning the start and completion of charging. What was kind of strange is that I received three different notices. I had at least 90 miles remaining and all the segments were still lite prior to charging last night. At 3:37 AM the charging start...

I had mistakenly thought that Tesla finished the manufacturing process for the Rav4EV. That probably was not a very logical thought given that the car is unibody construction. Now that I understand my error I looked for more information about the manufacturing process. Here is what I found...

I recently purchased the JESLA for charging our Rav4ev, I wanted to make sure I have all the necessary adapters. I purchased a 30A Male to 50A Female. I decided that I needed rather wanted to cover all my bases. So I thought I would venture out and make a 14-50 amp to 6-50 amp adapter. I...
