Re: buy a used RAV4 EV or wait?

I'll keep mine and run it into the ground. I'm sure when my 8yr 125k warranty expires repair parts will be available used. Also, parts will be refurbished or easier to repair I believe. The motor swap is a $15k expense at the dealer, but a real mechanic can replace the bearings and seals for a facti...

Re: Just purchased a 2012 w/ 2550 miles ~ I have questions

Any Toyota dealership should be able to look up the service history, recall completion and extended warranty information. This should have been done before purchase. The extended warranty may need to be transferred (registered) to the new owner, I'm not sure. Have the 12v battery tested and replace ...

Other responses imply that Only the Extended chag...

Re: ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

I really hope this car isn't turning into a money pit. Overnight, GOM reading on full normal charge changed from around 74 to around 66, and loud whine developed, seems to be relative to acceleration.

Yes, I have met with both. The Solar Edge rep flew in from Israel and met in my office.
Is there any potential for V2H or V2G here? Any details you can share?
