That's cold Toyota. I already said I'm not buying another Toyota ever again and this just makes my resolve stronger. Love the RAV4 EV it's just sad seeing the way Toyota is handling everything. Hope they get left way behind in the EV arms race and eventually fade. Now we need a 'who killed the...

I read a review on the leaf and someone said the bolt doesn't have 'auto pilot' which might be something to consider. The leaf will come out with pro pilot which is basically 'auto pilot' and that could be something nice if you drive in the FWY. I also read that the interior of the leaf is going...

You could also wait a few months more and consider the new Nissan Leaf. It is also a hatch back and it is a little bigger than the previous nissan leaf from what I have herd. Range is said to be 150 miles but it could get more like the bolt when it is tested you never know.

So, just noticed the bottom south/west portion of the leather in my wheel is peeling off. Has anyone else had this issue yet? If it were a clock it would be the 6 to 9 area. It's not that bad., but if we are talking long term ownership I think it is an issue. Thoughts and ideas? I guess this is...

I love the RAV4 EV, but I would not buy another Toyota vehicle for the rest of my life lol. Loved my Nissan Leaf also and would buy another. How much in total did you have to spend before you vehicle was fully functional again? Including all Jdemo install / removal fees and the diagnostics and...

Hi Tony! One of the reasons why I posted this was also because I did recall you having to physically remove the Pawl from the Roadster. I was thinking on making a thread asking on the level of difficulty to remove the pawl, but I figured I could search and see if there was an alternative...

Ours being a Toyota product also makes me wonder if this fuse is present. So... does anyone know? Well, actually I just checked the Toyota Owners Manual and I do see a few fuses listed here. Type A Driver Side: Page 389 # 11 P CNT-B 7.5 A Parking control system Page 390 #24 P...

What so much more does it do? The people that qualified for the federal rebate, state rebate, and also the free money on the hood from Toyota got the best deals. Did you qualify for the free toyota money on the hood? Last I spoke with a guy that had JDEMO in his RAV4 EV he said with the...

There does seem to be a little bit of space in there for some extra cells, but does not seem to be that much. Not for another whole pack I would think, but maybe enough for a small auxiliary pack of some size. For example if you could re-arrange the 3 front humps to fit in a few more humps that...

Welcome to the small family :). Only a few special people own a rav4 ev and as time passes by it will be even more special! There are still no other full electric suvs aside from the model x. I'm still a fan of the rav4 ev over the X. The only way they can sway my opinion is if they make the x...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to install the inverter in the back of the rav4 ev. I was thinking more like on the front perhaps above the sport mode button, or maybe behind the driver seat. I was looking inside the hood and saw the clump of wires coming from the driver side fuse box. I...

I bought a pure sinewave inverter and want to install it inside the passenger cabin in the rav4 ev. Only issue is... how to run the cables from the lead acid battery (Now AGM for me) inside the passenger cabin? Cables will be thick... I am looking at about 2/0 copper cable to run an induction...

Hello! I blew the fuse for the rear power socket a few months ago and had to change it, but it seems I found out that the front or mid power socket still worked. So this made me wonder if they run on separate fuses? I don't recall which were which... was it that the front and mid power socket...

That is a pretty sight indeed. I got this surprised at ufc gym a few months ago. I woke up and saw another white rav4 ev next to mine. I think she honked at me and that is what woke me up. Pretty cool to see another rav4 ev next to yours. Also, I always try to wave at other rav4 ev's that I...

I checked my rav4 ev's 0 to 60 the other night and came out as about 8 seconds. Granted I had a passenger and also camping gear in the vehicle. Pretty sure it was an ok amount of weight. Combined weight for the passenger and myself was 330 lbs. About the gear that is a catch but I'd think...

So this means that any lease returns at the 3 year mark will never qualify for a platinum extended warranty since the car has been in service for 3 years during the lease thus bumper to bumper is up? If true then you can only get an ext warranty platinum on cars that were bought out from the...

At launch? So you are saying there is a torque limitation set at the beginning of the vehicle take off from a dead start? So the limit is set to gradually allow full torque as the vehicle speeds up? If true, then you could get pass this by either getting smaller wheels (They'd spin faster and...

You mean like adding another motor for the rear wheels of the rav4 ev? Oh I just remembered that the rav4 ev of pikes peaks had a 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds! So I guess that by stripping the rav4 ev you could beat it. Somethings to note: They added a TRD Big Brake Kit which likely added some...

Here I thought our RAV4 EV would beat all the other rav4 gassers out there. Apparently the 2009 Toyota RAV4 Sport AWD has a 0 to 60 of 6.3 seconds! No way for us to catch up to it? Kind of wished our EV was faster than all the other RAV4 Gassers :(. I have not seen a lot of rav4 sports out...
