I didn't specifically "ask" for it, but DID ask for a reduction in annual price due to the fact that it didn't work for so long. They then voluntarily came up with the solution, apparently.

YES, the EV Zone and Meetup will once again be an integral part of NW SolarFest in Shoreline WA on Saturday, July 28, 2018 from 10AM-5PM. How much space we get depends primarily on PRE-event applications to "exhibit" our cars. Some years so few pre-registered that we only had a small area...

Look what I got by email Friday (Dec 1, 2017). I think I paid something like $147 to renew Safety Connect, but will have to dig a bit to find the statement with the exact amount. I've redacted my personal info from the letter. Otherwise it's exactly like it came to me...

The last 2 days, morning wake-up temperatures have been in the 30's here in Seattle. One of the main things I use Entunes for is to pre-heat the car (and battery) while it's still plugged in overnight. Since I often work from home, and my daily schedule varies so much I typically use Entune...

I called in today, and since I had a case number from 2016 for exactly the same Entune issues they elevated the call to Tier 2 within minutes. Got a new case number for 2017 and the promise of a response from "a technician" within 24 hours. We'll see. Highly recommend that you verify if your...

The link my fellow Seattle owner posted seems to all be list prices. Here's the discount Toyota OEM place I order from. Check them out and compare: http://www.oempartworld.com/ They're physically located in Bremerton, WA, but even with sales tax for an in-state buyer, still cheaper than...

NHTSA never got back to me other than originally acknowleding receipt of my complaint if I recall correctly. I ended up calling Kevin Spillane at HQ and he made 1 call to ToK who then called to schedule my recall work.

asavage: Toyota of Kirkland did all 3 recalls on my RAV4 EV as well as a drive unit replacement. Each time I 'tried' simply calling the service department or dropping by to see if they would lift a finger to help a Toyota customer with a service need. Each time they flatly refused to help in...

It still seems to be a 'death valley' for lack of chargers from Sacramento north to the Oregon border. Are there plans to fill in the 295 mile gap along I-5? If so, when?

Speaking of new RAV4 EV owners, we had 2 show up at NW SolarFest on Saturday in Shoreline, WA. One had bought just that morning, the other 1 week earlier. It was great to meet them both after connecting here on the forum and the Fb page.

Yes, http://www.oempartworld.com/ It's physically located at Heartland Toyota in Bremerton, so I made it a trip to pick up the parts in person. At the time, the Ferry ride (RT) was cheaper than delivery and I also wanted to take a Saturday jaunt across the water. I'd have to do some digging...

NW SolarFest is Saturday only, from 10 AM - 5 PM. Shoreline Community College West Parking lot entrance. 16101 Greenwood Ave N, Shoreline, WA 98133 (off Aurura Ave N. - Hwy 99- at 160th) Hope you can make it!

KurtManz: Congratulations and welcome to the Seattle area RAV4 EV club! Kevin Spillane WAS the Toyota national RAV4 EV expert ('ombudsman') - our interface for getting service from Toyota, especially outside of CA. He's moved on to another position and Thorn(?) took his place. If you roll...

SuedeGopher, Hope your questions have been answered. Be sure to check out the Toyota RAV4 EV group on Facebook, too. Lots of helpful owners here in the Seattle area. We should have 3-5 at the EV Meetup this weekend at NW SolarFest. Saturday, July 22nd from 10-5 on the campus of Shoreline...

Saturday, July 15, VEVA is having their big annual ElectraFest and need someone to bring a RAV4 EV for the highlighted "Owners' Circle". I went last year, but am 95% certain I can't go this year. Anyone interested in committing to exhibit in the prestigious Owners' Circle please PM me and I'll...

I live in Washington state and have had my 2013 here since 2014. Any Toyota dealer in the country can help with service as they're independently owned and operated. With the RAV4 EV due to it's deadly voltages they don't want non-EV trained service techs working on it. So early on, the...

Haven't experienced this problem yet, but maybe being a bit proactive would be a good thing. BTW, is your blue fluid (G48) on the low side? If so, I have extra. Mine was sitting just below the low mark last year so I bought a jug. Used about a cup of it, so if you'd like a top off, let me...

Yes, Kevin responded to me when I wrote to thank him for helping me get the wiper recall done in the Seattle area. He sent me the new info and I'm pleased that they have someone new assigned to help us. I hope the new person will be as helpful as Kevin has been. (Maybe even more so???)

Welcome Gazoo! Do you live in Seattle or by any chance in PSE electric service territory? PSE offers a $500 rebate for putting in a L2 charger. City Light does NOTHING for us EV owners. (I think it has to do with the fact that they are a public utility and PSE is a private (foreign owned at...

I think there are at least 12, maybe a few more. Heck, there were 7 lined up at Kirkland dealership for the Firmware upgrade, and that didn't include a number of others I know about. Since then, between Paramount and other dealers, more have come to the area. We might have 20-25 for all I...
