I am in the same boat. lease expires mid-july. i want a Bolt but timing is bad. I'm considering asking Toyota for a 6-month lease extension. just had the recall done. was without the car for 8 days. they either blew out the gateway ECU or it became incompatible and had to be replaced.

once you get Entunes working, signup for RAVCHARGE (www.ravcharge.com) which allows scheduled charging by time, day, etc. plus scheduled climate control start/stop. you can see charging and location info.

In the news recently, there was an item that Honda was offering attractively priced lease extensions for the FIT EV. Has anyone heard any info that indicates Toyota might do the same for RAV4 EV??? Since there are some interesting developments coming along soon for EV cars, my lease...

================ I did just receive a call from a Toyota guy who said it was a network problem and was "starting to become functional".

MONDAY MARCH 9 Might be fixed. it seems to be working for me today. I have had no non-automated responses from Toyota (yet).

it is not working for me as well. I submitted a support request with Toyota a few minutes ago.

. I got several phone calls from Toyota since I reported this problem. He confirmed they are working with a 3rd party vendor and think they have the problem resolved. In my case, it has been working reliably for the past 4 days.

I had a leased car totalled in 2008 (it was 2 years old at that time) and the insurance company bought me a new car (about $52,000).

Ravcharge still fails to start climate control.

I've been reading this thread. I noticed my Ravcharge is not working as well. I don't normally use Entunes. So, today I noticed that upon power-up of my HTC One that Entunes did successfully do the "daily" connection (unsolicited) and I could see the time of connection and the charge level so I...

I know that out-of-state owners will not get free ToyotaCare service for 5000, 10000 mile checks, etc. Does anyone know if I can expect support, via the in-car button, for towing, breakdowns, etc. I'm considering an offer from AAA for roadside services but will use ToyotaCare if it will work...

Thanks for the info. I think I am going to just live with the tire sensor issue since they are snow wheels. This was more just an experiment to me to see what the local dealer would do. For something serious, I still have my backup card to play..... before purchase, another Toyota Dealer...

I got new snow tires, wheels and sensors. Discount Tire has been unable to get the sensors to "pair/register" with my RAV4 EV so I decided to try the local Toyota dealer (Schaumburg, Illinois). I was met by the whole management staff in the service department and they flat out told me they...

I bought a complete of snow tires/wheels/TPMS sensors from Discount Tire. They have tried twice to reprogram the TPMS system and seem to have failed. They claim the tool can read each sensor and get a pressure. I saw them hook the tool up to the OBD2 port and do something. They said I need to...

I use a Leviton 16A unit I purchased for my Volt. Although the Volt would only pull 3.3Kwh, the RAV4 pulls 3.6Kwh and works just fine. I know I could charge faster with a higher power unit but the expense of new wiring and new EVSE is not worth it to me.

I know this does not apply, or even interest, RAV4 EV owners in California but these are my observations from the past half week. CHICAGO Monday AM was -16F outside. pretty cold in the garage (maybe 30). I did pre-climate 3 times before leaving. Set for EXTENDED charge my GoM range was 70...

what is your RAV4 serial number?????

Another observation point: here in Chicago, temps have been from 9F to low 30s. In the summer months, my GoM reading would normally be 135 (as high as 138). Now it is about 100 consistently. No firmware updates for me (Toyota doesn't like us out-of-CA people). Gene

With the news about Tesla S fires from road debris, I was wondering what underside protection our Rav4EV has. Does anyone know??? Gene
