    New RAV4 Owner w/questions

    Either way it will not hurt the vehicle. I bet it works fine on 120 volts. Keep an eye on it the first hour for excessive heat.

    Check EV System warning message

    Cashier told me $3,800 or something close. Very matter of fact and a straight face like it was completely normal. I let her know it was under warranty. Took close to an hour to get the right person to correct the paperwork. What a waste of time but the cost will soon be real. EVs may have...

    2012 Rav4 EV has coolant leaked into the drive unit inverter

    Sorry about your troubles. These stories get worse every month. Love the car but can't wait to trade it. Still going to be a while..... knocks on wood. The Toyota option to only replace the entire drive as a single unit is just crazy. Best of luck. Sounds like you are going the right way...

    ALL POSTS - 12-volt battery replacement

    Need to measure the actual 12v battery voltage after you remove the cables. Voltage should rise above 14 volts if the DC/DC converter is working. Regardless you needed a new 12v battery a year ago.

    Brake Pad Replacement

    Please tell us the real situation after you personally inspect. Sounds like the typical over maintenance from the dealer.

    ALL POSTS - 12-volt battery replacement

    This is why Tony keep harping to replace the 12v battery sooner than later. If you wait for the failure it may cost you a tow and the price of 3 batteries to get it all reset.

    Wiring for L15-20p to L6-30r

    Hot to hot and ground to ground and you are good to go. Yes one hot on the supply will be unconnected.

    ALL POSTS - 12-volt battery replacement

    I swapped mine with no special sequence or reboot. The difference is that it was functioning normal at the time. I honestly think the dealer just reset your error codes that should have cleared themselves in due time. Negative terminal off first, then positive. Swap battery. Positive on and...

    ALL POSTS - GOM - Range Meter - Distance To Empty meter

    Never. Although most Fridays get full charge and a 2 hour wait before I head home. Every couple weekends the same thing to charge overnight and it sits for a few hours as the timer is always early.

    ALL POSTS - GOM - Range Meter - Distance To Empty meter

    Anyone ever see Turtle with 5 miles showing on the DTE? I did last night cruising home at 62 mph on the freeway. Was able to take my exit (1/2 mile) but not climb the hill to my home. Coasted to the local shopping center and was able to plug in. Main power was off for a 1/4 mile as I rolled...

    My lease is almost up, and there's nothing else I want!

    No troubles I would probably keep it until I found something else compelling. Actually that is what I am doing. Did you extend your lease?

    Bought Used Rav4 EV 2012... Warranty ????

    Pretty sure that is a dealer only adjustment. Most of us had it done the first week or at initial delivery.

    My RAV4 EV list of problems :P

    Honestly I can't wait to bail. Warranty or not the car is a bit pathetic and too expensive to repair.

    Traction battery goes to LO when sitting a few days

    Takes about 8 seconds to switch the timer off and immediate charge on to stop the climate system. Then a few more seconds to re-enable the timer upon return.

    Additional Battery Project - Possible Extra 40 kwh

    The battery stacks can be the baffles. Build the nine stacks with empty slots alternating on each side or top to bottom etc. Then us foam to seal around the edges.

    Additional Battery Project - Possible Extra 40 kwh

    More important to have good baffling to get the air to move across all cells. May need some foam dividers etc to to build a path. Air across the top leaves most cooling to convection. With so much unknown consider a temperature sensor that you can move around.

    Same 93 miles on both standard and extended mode

    Conditions must be perfect. Today I saw 158 miles displayed with an extended charge.
