As much as I wish Toyita execs were that far sighted and technically brilliant, I'm afraid that they have fallen into late corporate middle age, when they have alot of things working, they're making money, and are basically fat and comfortable - Maybe there is some technical and patent...

Now that my wife drives a Rav EV as well, we've been discussing which of our gas vehicles we're gonna get rid of. We pretty much agree on dumping the Camry and keeping my older Rav, but we are definitely not agreeing on the fate of my dear '85 SR5 PU -

I bought the inexpensive roof rack, and inexpensive crossbars off of ebay. The rack is fine - no problems installing at all, and quite solid. But the inexpensive cross bars are basically rectagular aluminum tubing with large plastic housings at each end, and while they work adequately for low...

Aww, come on - the obvious solution is to just buy a second Rav, and tow it behind the first one, but set to regen. When the first one gets too low, swap 'em - a sorta EV leapfrog - ;)

Berkeley told me the firmware was buggy and didn't update anything - not even sure they checked the tires. I'm gonna use Walnut Creek for my 10k service -

We might be able to make it - if I had any idea where Vasona was - ?????

Sorry to hear that. It does look the record was made, but just barely.

My wife and I are seriously thinking about driving both our Ravs down tomorrow morning just to up the count, but we also want to head north in the afternoon, so we're debating if we'd be able to get one recharged for that trip -

On the console when you set up your schedule, did you finish by touching the save button? It seems stupid, but my wife just got her EV, and set up her schedule and preclimate just the way she wanted it, but it wouldn't charge. She played with her entune, got mad at me, etc, etc - so I went out...

I'd be very,very happy if something with better range, equal passenger and storage space, and faster charging became available in the next couple years. The Leafs, volts, and such are just too darn small - I'm only 6-2, but I couldn't comfortably fit in any of them, and no way I could take kids...

I've been VERY happy with the Jesla - i especially like that it automatically adjusts to the input voltage/amperage, has a variety of easily available adapter plugs, and is light and easy to keep in the car. The led in the handle makes plugging in and charging at night extremely simple. Now, if...

So now that my wife just got her new RavEV, we have a total of four key fobs - rather than each of us carrying 2 fobs, does anyone know if it would be possible to have each of our primary fobs programmed into the other car, leaving the second fob car specific? Or maybe just program them all...

Is there a list of RV parks that have 14-50 plugs available? I can make it down to the Santa Cruz area, but it'd be great to use the Jesla to charge up faster than the stations I've tried in the downtown.

well, as of last night, we are now a 2 Rav EV family - I'm trying to talk my next door neighbor to buy a silver one so we'll have one of each in adjacent driveways - may not be that hard a sell ( except for the silver color ) -

so does anyone else hope that in 8 years there will be aftermarket battery packs with greater storage, chargers with faster rates, updated firmware with better vehicle management ? Maybe its wishful thinking, but once these start coming off lease, I believe there will be a great deal of demand...

mostly because I haven't seen a roof rack that would hold a sheet of plywood - or some 10' pipe. The cross bars on the roof rack I have are only about 2.5' apart, so they won't by themselves hold any item of length, and there are no easy spots on the front or rear of the vehicle to tie off the...

So, one of my biggest complaints with my Rav is that I have not found a convenient way to carry basic lumber and building supplies - I've found I can fit 10' lengths of pipe in the cab fairly easily, and I can fit 8' lengths of lumber. But it is a pain - My thought is that if I could replace...

I definitely want one, probably two - and lights and bright are fine. If its too much, I'll find a piece of window tint to put in front of it. But knowing at a glance just how well a charging station is running is invaluable. It'll help every time I plug in somewhere new -

Well, that all confirms my thoughts - Dianne - you'll probably be getting a call soon ( she likes the blue - ) Tad

First - I love my RavEV - the only issues I have is running from Berkeley down to Santa Cruz and back the same day - need to spend some hours charging in SC, so I can't run around as much as I'd like. Thats about the only time I wish it had a faster charge rate - But now my wife wants one...
