Why? Is there something valuable in these updates?

Mine whines/whistles too. It did not do it when new, so I suspect some sort of bearing wear-in is happening. I had the service tech note it in case it becomes a problem later.

Thanks waidy, I'll cross that one off of my list of cars to check out. Best of luck getting your RAV back!

Shade, yes, they did, with the exception of a one-night sleepover at home. The RAV failed to start the following morning and went back to the dealership. Edit: and that sucked.

Hi waidy, I haven't driven the Spark. I am curious to hear about your driving experience with it. To finish off my previous posts, I got my RAV back on Tuesday and have had no trouble since. I did get to have a little early Festivus airing of grievances when I filled out the feedback survey. :D

Well, for nearly nine months, my RAV4 EV ownership/reliability has been excellent. I got the RAV back last night, drove it home with the heater functioning, parked it, plugged it in, and let RavCharge handle the rest. At 5 a.m., I went out to go to work, but noticed that the EVSE was not on...

I took mine in for 15K service Friday and added a check for the heater. The heater didn't work. The service department gave me a RAV4 EV loaner and the heater works fine. I'm hoping to hear from them today to get an ETA on a fix. FWIW, the Toyota Rental agency did not want to rent out the...

thanks fooljoe!

miimura, that doesn't seem right: the dc-dc should continue to trickle charge the 12V battery during traction battery charging. I don't know if there are any power limits on the dc-dc during traction battery charging, though.

Nice to see all those EVs in use. And, snoltor, nice to see you don't have to back the RAV in to charge it (unlike the Tesla in saintyohann's pic).

I've used both Fremont and Walnut Creek. Both were good experiences.

Also, is it possible to enable/disable extended charge via the RavCharge interface?

I'd be interested in the $30 range.

I just logged on and tried out RavCharge. Nice. Entunes is really a big disappointment. If only there was a way to extract more information. Particularly, it would be nice to be able to create a driving log: miles driven, kwh used, time elapsed, etc. Similarly, it would be nice to be able...

Thanks for this. As soon as I can find the time, I'm going to make this mod.

Mine failed last night.

Hi vips, I've used both Fremont and Walnut Creek service departments. Both are good, but make sure to schedule an appointment. Even with the limited service needs, expect them to take 4+ hours. There are a few places to grab a bite to eat or shop near the Walnut Creek dealership. The Fremont...

Hi madcow, Just in time for your RAV4 EV: http://green.autoblog.com/2013/07/15/hawaii-heco-utilities-will-cut-charging-rates-to-encourage-evs/

I'm interested as well. There may be others interested that were hoping dark would supply the details. Please do.

I would like to swap the USB/Aux port block with the Sport block. Both would be in better positions if they were swapped. Anyone know how to remove the panels without damaging things? From another post, I'd also like to install the auto-folding mirror option.
