If you look in behind the front wheel on the passenger side you should see a short tube coming out of the body. There is no tube that goes out of the pan. The condensate seems to drip all over the place on the lower control arm, on the boot, in the pan, etc. There seems to be holes in the pan...

You can see what people have been listing them for here: http://myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=454&start=240 I would probably be inclined to get the charger fixed at the reduced price.
