    Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know. Hopefully, local Toyota should be able to call San Diego Toyota and figure this out...Now I know what to tell them the problem is. Thanks much.

    charging stopped due to system malfunction

    Leviton 40 amp...you think it's related to the EVSE or "system malfunction" on board the vehicle? Drove it abot 50 miles this AM and it is charging now...so far uneventfully.

    I have same issue on interior lights and keyless entry not working. Just got RAV 4 EV 2 days ago. I'm in Pennsylvania. Is this something any Toyota dealer can fix? The interior lights? Hope so.

    Interior Lights/Keyless Entry and Shipping to East Coast

    Just got my RAV 4 EV yesterday. Shipped from San Diego to Lancaster, PA. Was on car carrier truck about 8 days...had "full" (80%) charge when left San Diego. Driven about 1 mile during 8 days to rotate around carrier...arrived with full charge still present. Drove home fine...No issues...

    Buying a Rav4 outside of CA

    My blizzard pearl RAV 4 EV was picked up in San Diego today from shipping company... Now 7 to 9 days to get out east! Hopefully, no more blizzards in West :? I guess it's a shorter distance than the trucking from Canada to southern CA... We'll see how it goes!

    Buying a Rav4 outside of CA

    I agree..couldn't find any negative reviews..except that it sounds like charging timers are consistently a problem..in Leaf, my charging timers are flawless...still overall, unless you're going to pony up for the Model S...seems like this is the next best thing out there. Good luck. I'm sure...

    Charger installation process

    Trust me. If you know how to plug in a lap top, you do NOT need to have these designated providers come to your house and charge you an arm and leg. Nissan tried to do same thing. Here is what I'd advise: buy the 40 amp. bottom fed plug (not hardwired) Leviton charger that Toyota recommends...

    Buying a Rav4 outside of CA

    I bought the RAV 4 EV and am leasing a LEAF....just a lucky guess, but w/ newer 6.6 kWh chargers now available and lower price.. glad I did. In my opinion, the best deal on the RAV 4 EV is to BUY. Here's why: Better financially - full fed and state tax rebates are yours...plus.. I don't think...

    You should also check with Korinne at Mossy Toyota in San Diego. They have less of a selection, but she was very helpful. Plus, they are all pretty much same trim...except color.

    Keeping RAV 4 EV Unplugged

    Put a trickle charger directly on the 12 V battery? So if it's dead, can you just jump start to the 12 V like regular car?

    Keeping RAV 4 EV Unplugged

    Hey thanks very much. I didn't figure it would be an issue but it's very reassuring to have advice from more experienced people. Yeah, they sent me email of picture of odometer. Thanks again!

    Keeping RAV 4 EV Unplugged

    Anyone see a problem with a fully charged RAV 4 EV going for 7-14 days completely unplugged if not driven and temperature 35 degrees and above for transport. May be driven 2-3 miles during the time period for moving on or off transport vehicle.

    Charger Advice

    Can any one give me outdoor charging advice? I'm getting a 40 amp Leviton EVSE and was planning on having it installed inside my barn, with cord coming out a door and parking my RAV 4 EV outside with cord connected into car outside, but base of the Leviton indoors. I've done this on my Leaf...

    Buying a Rav4 outside of CA

    Open. my buddy did say there were lots and lots of bugs on his windshield when he got it...but nothing a trip to car wash can't fix. As for powertrain...I'm in discussion with Tesla. There is a Tesla store/service center 68 miles from my house...prob. one alot close than San Fran/Diego to...

    Buying a Rav4 outside of CA

    I looked at all service requirements out to 100k miles. Sounds like basically topping off or replacing coolants, rotating tires, checking brakes for wear, checking to make sure no run-away accelerator Prius mats are in these Rav 4 EVs, and replacing cabin air filter. Checking chassis..It says...
