I have a question about warranty on my leased RAV. I had a 12000 miles/year lease. I am creeping up on the 36000 mile odometer reading but still have a few months on the lease. I dont mind paying for extra miles but am not sure if the warranty runs out after 36000 miles. That would be a big...

Has anyone here seen one in flesh, taken a test ride etc? http://www.chevrolet.com/bolt-ev-electric-vehicle.html MSRP of 38,000 puts it squarely in the Model 3 projected price range. Tesla will certainly make a better product and if priced around the same the choice is easy.

Hello folks, I recently learnt that the RAV does not differentiate between the standard or the 40 amp charger, and it calculates the planned charging time on the assumption that its a stock charger. Is this correct ? If it is I am guessing I need to program in a later departure time in the car...

Hi I am considering to upgrade to a Tesla and am unsure on what to do with the RAV. My last leased vehicle, I was able to sell it before lease expired. Is this something that some one has tried with a low production car like the RAV EV. Thanks.

Hi I leased my RAV EV about 8 months ago. It has given me zero problems (well unless you count the charger door issue....but thats negligible). I was seriously hoping that the Tesla Model 3 would be out in the market by the time the lease ran out on the RAV....but THAT aint gonna happen. SO...

A question regarding the RAV EV suspension: Which specific ICE version does the RAV EV get its suspension from. I believe there is a sporty RAV 4 which might have a stiffer and more responsive suspension setup. I did a pretty long test drive before I leased the EV, and knew what I was getting in...

Its time to get the RAV EV the 5k mile service. I called the closest (Fairfield) Toyota dealership (they do not sell the RAV EV's but do sell priuses and other hybrids) to check in. The reception clerk said they can do the 5k service. Should I take it to them or should I take it to the closest...

Hi I have the leviton 40 amp charger and have set up the car to be charged by 730 am when I leave for work. I usually have about 50-60 miles worth of charge left at the end of the day, usually close to 90 miles. As i understand this should not take about or less than a couple of hours to top up...

Had my first flat tire. Used the supplied fix a flat kit. Works like a charm...BUT had to have the wheel rebalanced....All is good. However, I was informed that TOYOTA does not offer a replacement for the fix a flat solution. You have to biy the whole kit...air compressor and all...for about...

Folks I am taking my first trip that will take me past the driving range (round trip) on the RAV EV.....to SFO from where I fly out for a couple of days next month. I checked the plug share app and the SFO website. It lists several EV parking spots with level 1 and level 2 chargers. I am...

Hello I have had my RAV EV for about a month and have put about 900 miles on it. I like it a lot so far. - No trips to the gas station - Easy charging at home with a Leviton 40 Amp charger, Also got solar installed at home. My employer (State of California) does not offer EV parking or charging...

Hi I use forumrunner on iOS, and know of tapatalk as another forum app on iOS/Android. Is this forum compatible with those or another app. Thanks

Hello My RAV4EV has issues syncing contacts with my Iphone5 , or maybe its the other way. Anyway, this is what happens: With the bluetooth connection in place (music/podcasts playing via bluetooth, phone calls coming in loud and clear via bluetooth) if I attempt to place a phone call from the...

So it seems that Toyota HAD to make the RAV4 EV to get some CARB points....I have to admit I do not understand it fully. But, it seems they are not committed to it like Tesla is...they are dropping the line altogether after an initial production run of 2600 or so. Correct?

Hello Has anyone tried to bump up the tire pressure 'a little' to help extend the range. Thanks

This has probably been discussed to death ....but here it is again: Does the JESLA charger charge just as quick as the Leviton that the Toyota dealership recommended to me. Is my understanding of the JESLA correct that it can be used with any kind of power outlet 110 or 220 but still charges...

I test drove the RAV 4 EV at Walnut Creek. I was planning on leasing it this weekend......untill I came across this forum and the discussion of the cars just shutting down in the middle of a road/highway. I brought this to the dealers attention. They assured me everything was based off 'older...
