    Trailer range extender

    Exactly and the intended point of my previous post. That 1400 mile round trip he made probably put out the equivalent pollution of a 140,000 miles in a modern car. I know some people aren't into the EV thing to reduce air pollution, but this is crazy. In one trip you've almost completely...

    Trailer range extender

    I know this wasn't the main point of you post, but that engine is emitting at least two orders of magnitude more criteria pollutants or pollutant precursors per mile than a modern car or truck.

    RavCharge, a solution to charge timer and entune woes

    Thanks for looking into it and giving us a little more insight into how it works. I think I was having cell issues this morning as I was never able to get it to start until I drive to work and tested it again.

    RavCharge, a solution to charge timer and entune woes

    Unfortunately I didn't look to see if it was stuck on. It shows off now, so I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.

    RavCharge, a solution to charge timer and entune woes

    I'm having issues with Entune and remote climate in that it doesn't seem to be working at all. RavCharge however is reporting that it successfully initiated the remote climate way faster than it would be able to. If I go back to the Entune app immediately after RavCharge reports the success...

    SCE TOU Rate Plan Changes

    When I first heard of the rate change, I did a quick calculation but unfortunately my whole house energy monitor only stores hourly data for the last 90 days. Based on that data, the A option is generally about $20-25 cheaper per month (this is incorrect see below) on either winter or summer...

    Waiting to replace propulsion unit

    I'll probably mention it when I bring it in for the 20k service but at this point it isn't bad enough to insist they fix it. If i hadn't had the problem before it would just be on the edge of me noticing an issue at all. I'll wait and see if it continues to get worse. They did ask me about my...

    Waiting to replace propulsion unit

    In my case the sound is only when transitioning between acceleration and regen at speeds below 20-25 mph. If I come to a compete stop and the start, I do not hear it. When I got it replaced it only took a couple of weeks to get the unit. The paperwork said something about the pinion gear in...

    Waiting to replace propulsion unit

    I had my motor/inverter assembly replaced for the same reason about 4k miles ago (~15k & 18 months old). After 1-2k miles the replacement unit stated making the clunking sound again, but not as loud and only on deceleration, but given how it developed on the original I am guessing it will...

    Driving Range display question

    None of the screens are particularly useful unfortunately, but I tend to use the trip efficiency that shows your driving efficiency over the last 20 minutes. On the center console I have map mode with the energy monitor. It will show your average efficiency since it was last rest. By...

    Driving Range display question

    It's normal for the grayed out lines to display even with climate control off. I don't find that a particularly useful screen so I never use it.

    Driving Range display question

    These lines are just showing the relative estimated range (GOM) between the different eco settings for the climate control. Turn on the climate control and hit the Eco button several times and it will make sense.

    Best generator to charge Rav EV?

    I hope you are being facetious, but if you are not or for other people reading the thread ARB emission standards for generators and automobiles are very very different.

    Best OC dealership to service my RAV4EV?

    For those of you skipping the dealership service (and even those who are not), it is a good idea to keep a record that you actually performed the service yourself, at least the fluid checks. If you have a warranty issue in the future they can potentially try to deny you service for not...

    RANT: Received "Backordered" Announcement for CAV Decals

    While I haven't seen anyone post about this particular situation, in the past issues with the DMV issuing white stickers have been a result of the dealership marking the wrong motive power for the car (e.g. gas vs bev) on the registration.

    B mode and regen

    My, albeit limited, experience has been the same as davewill. I'll be interested in hearing Tony's results. I've also noticed that you really need to be in B-mode to get the maximum regen when using the brake pedal.

    Smart key only works 60% of the time

    Mine has been working quite well, maybe >95% of the time on the first try. My previous car, a MINI, had problems like you describe so this has been a pleasant change. Stupid question...you are pushing the button only to lock the doors only? There is a sensor behind the door handle that...

    Back up beeping

    Yeah, there are separate radio and media buttons. Protip... If you are playing Pandora you hit the radio button.

    Back up beeping

    USB is not radio so you have to hit the media icon not the radio icon if you are on USB and want to stay on USB.
