    hi tony I have the agm but since I don't have JDemo sometimes I park with the fan on high while charging on the hot summer and I wonder just how long sometimes the battery might get. It seems you can also turn on the compressor a/c while the car in on acc on, but it doesn't seem to do much...

    Enough space next to 12v battery for an additional 2?

    I was looking at the car 12v which I upgraded to agm and it looks to me like you could fit an extra 2 batteries next to it if you were to install a self of some sort on top of the cooling pipes. Also, the cooling pipe that joins in to some sort of router appears to merely be bolt on to the frame...

    Replace battery coolant

    I believe that you need the scan tool to get all the coolant out of the battery because there appears to be a sort of valve that keeps the coolant in the battery and you use the coolant to open it and flush all the coolant out. I am not entirely sure but I did read something like that before. I...

    Sell RAV4 EV /w some Ext Warranty left or After Ext Expires?

What do you all think would be the best route to take? There really isn't anything better than the Rav4...

    Motor failure on 2012 RAV4 EV. Need help.

    To be honest I think Tony might be your best bet in terms of cost being less than traditional dealer. Tony has been doing a lot of work on the RAV4 EVs so he will be knowledgeable enough to help fix the issue. Also, I believe he has access to the full RAV4 EV repair manual and that would help a...

    Upgrading my interior lights to LEDs + Rear Lights [UPDATED]

    EDIT: That's weird my original post was not complete. I edited and it is now showing my full LED light list. It was auto hiding half of my orignal post. Don't know why and I wasn't using BB code. I had to disable bb code and smilies so it would stop doing that. Now my full post is showing...

    Wider wheels at the front only?

    Who cares about range when you have j d e m o. Do you know if the odometer uses front wheels or rear wheels? I would love to have better traction on the front wheels. Wider tires would have a bigger contact patch And also add a little more weight at the front. Perhaps even help with braking...
