    Siblings

    I decided to go down to Bella Terra in Huntington Beach this afternoon to catch the latest Bond flick and was surprised to see a sibling to my Blizzard White parked in the EV Charging station. I haven't seen another Rav4 EV in the wild yet, so it was pretty cool to just find one. I didn't do a...

    How to abort NAV from last route destination?

    I had a similar question a while back and ended having to do research in the manual to find it, the nav UI seems intentionally counterintuitive and distracting from the main purpose. Anyway, there's a "ROUTE" button in the center of the screen, and if you push that, you'll get a pop-up that...

    Looks like we have a Colorado owner, named Reeler. Very cool.

    Range Chart

    I love the concept. I was thinking today that it would be nice to have a consistent way of recording usage, to help with this kind of chart, and better understanding your car's behavior. I don't have a special meter or way of measuring the amount of kWh used when charging my car each night...

    Map of Rav4 EV Owners

    Stealing/borrowing an idea from another forum I hang out on, I've set up a wiki-map on which you can add your own entries. I'll approve them as they come in. Here's how to add an entry for yourself (and your Rav4 EV): 1. Point your browser to: http://www.zeemaps.com/Rav4EVOwners 2. To add a...

    Charging port door stuck closed?

    Thanks Tony. I didn't think of going through from the inside. For what it's worth, the "putty knife" I used was a plastic one. I agree that yours is the better approach. Tonight when I went to plug in I had to pull the lever a couple of times to get it to open. Looks like I'll need to...

    Why are the rav4 ev owners spread out?

    (This is a repost of something I posted tonight over at the TeslaMotorsClub forum. I've been hanging out there for a while as I wasn't finding much in the way of Rav4EV forums. I hope this community really starts to take off.) Well, I took deliver of a Blizzard Pearl Rav4EV a week ago Sunday...

    Toyota RAV4 EV Not Entirely Compatible With All Public Charg

    My dealer has a rental, but will not provide the 120V charging adapter with the rental. If you want to rent for more than 80-100 miles, you've got to find public charging stations. I posted a writeup of my rental experience over on the TeslaMotorsClub forum here...

    Hypermiling "bragging rights"

    My eco dashboard in the entune app is showing 2.6 mi/kWh, ranking 31st. My best score was from last week where I had 3.0 for the day. That said, I feel so free from not burning dinosaurs when driving that I find myself not worrying as much about "fuel" efficiency like I did when driving my Prius.

    Charging port door stuck closed?

    Had a small issue tonight when I went to plug in my Rav4EV to the charge. I pulled up on the lever to release the charging port door, but the door did not open. Tried repeatedly with no effect. Eventually propped the pull lever up and used a plastic putty knife to provide some external...

    Turning off backup beep, changing door unlock?

    On my 2008 Prius I was able to turn off the annoying backup beep by using a sequence of steps involving the On/Off switch and the Trip Odometer button. Similarly, I was able to change the behavior of the keyless door unlock so that when I put my hand to the door handle, all doors unlocked...
