I have owned my Rav4 EV since October and I finally saw another in the wild. This was the first! I was driving up 101 through San Mateo and there she was: All white, just like mine. I waved as I passed the lady driving, and I think she was a bit confused at first as to why this stranger was...

OK, I realize that this is pretty small on the list, but as the weather get's warmer, this becomes more annoying. I find that the driver's side seat warmer button is just too easy to "touch" accidentally. I find that fairly often I tap it while turning on the car. Maybe it is just the back of...

OK, I know that subject must have gotten your curiosity piqued. (I hope it did.) Here's the scoop. I friend of mine is running the Educational Tall Ship program here in the SF Bay. They are building a tall sailing ship from scratch and he wants to power it with electric engines. He is very...

FYI: A new version of the Entune app for Android has appeared. Changes are not major but seem to be a step in the right direction. The following updates have been made: • Enabled basic account registration • Updated Pandora library • Updated iHeartRadio library • Improved audio “buffering” •...

Has anyone used an OBD 2 adapter to talk to their Rav4? I tried using mine (which worked with the Volvo and Audi) and it doesn't work with the Rav4 EV. Mine is an inexpensive Bluetooth adapter which I use with the Torque app on Android. I'm not sure if the issue is the Torque app or the...

My Rav4 can detect whether there is a 120V or 240V charger plugged in, but should it be able to tell whether a 240V charger is 30A vs. 40A?? I ask because I have a 40A charger and the car's charge time estimates are way off. I wonder if it is improperly detecting the charger's current or if it...
