Yes, After costing them an average of more than $5,000 per warranty sold they certainly will recapture on the losses. :lol: I don't see how they can other than the dealers making money.

Sure, rebuilt inverters and drives for a small fortune. Not much of a rebuild market for a 2600 car production. Wishful thinking though:) Let's not delude ourselves, the ICE parts are easy but....

can't wait to see how they handle the parts supply in a few years let alone 8, and if the wait times on repairs are any indication of the future I expect many people simply giving up on warranty claims.

Like a very limited production car that will cost a fortune to repair, insanely expensive. There is such a small pool and so many issues and with limited and extremely expensive parts few would own one except to garage it as collectable.

This is why people are often confused because of the wrong terminology they hear and repeat. 220/110 makes no descriptive sense as it is flat out incorrect for US residential and only reinforces confusion and ignorance of standards and specs and bad habits. Japan has 200V, not 210, 220 or even...

Please note, residential power in the USA is 240V and has been for a very long time, there is no 220V for US residential. 220 comes from the old days of 110V which we do not have anymore as well. In this application the neutral is simply a bonus wire.

You can usually buy the software and key and it is often about $5000 US. I have it for some vehicles and plan t pay a small fortune as this is dealer software and the software for the RAV is likely a special and more expensive version. You are usually required to prove you are a repair facility...

Buy the RAV and a warranty and wait for a better EV to come along.

What's pathetic is that the most reliable part on an EV is Tesla's most unreliable and they make the EV drive look like something that is not well built when traditionally is has been a key argument for EV reliability. Pretty shameful.

I would like to see how that plays out in the next 3-6 months on cars after all taxes and fees are paid and how much profit is actually there. One would need to be very uninformed to buy a used RAV without a warranty and the high warranty cost plus all buyout fees seems close to the actual...

Yes, 200 miles plus range in the RAV would be nice at 60.

Hydrogen is a place for Toyota to put a foot in another game card for the future and to me does not say they are ignoring EVs. Quite the opposite as they are doing all sorts of advanced pack research and once they want to enter the EV space they will. This is an easy entry market for them and in...

I run mine of propane, no need to use aging gasoline. I use an evseupgrade with the special request modification for generators as you can't gorund a genset for portable use and the evse would otherwise fault.

I charged my LEAF to 100% every time for three years with no degradation.

2016 should bring some interesting EV announcements that are sure to drop the value of a used RAV. MY lease ends in Sept of next year and i doubt it will be worth the 20K residual pus taxes to buy it. Unfortunately I thing I need until about 2017 to get a decent EV in hand so I may be back to an...

Litigation? For a car having something break down? Good luck.

Grumpy? No I just have seen plenty of these products that are not shipping but just looking to raise money to build or tool which shows they are not ready for market. Regardless of how it connects it would need to be very well built to be reliable and durable and even a $1500 unit seem low...

Sounds like vaporware since it is not even available yet. I also would not want that thing on my garage floor. Anytime the promo video is animation it seems very fund raising like.

Other variations of this exist and it is inefficient so if you like to loose even more power while charging then this is perfect. Not to mention the higher the ground clearance the worse it gets.

It seems Toyota has decided to take the horrible design cues of this vehicle and use them on their other cars. Prius, Tacoma, they really ned to get a new design team. If they keep up with these terrible designs they will need a car that runs on sand soon. Fool cells as they have been called...
