    Tesla 70D vs 85D

    70D? ;)

    4 RAV4 EVs in New York (5 if you include Jimbo69ny)

    Only 535 Nissan LEAFs registered in New York? I wonder if some are hiding under different registration names or something which caused the author of that blog to miss them. Either that or the type of people that would buy a LEAF in New York take public transit instead and have no need for a...

    RECALL: going into neutral / Speed Sensor failure

    I'm just going to take the opportunity to complain because I feel like it isn't moot for me. I am moving to Canada in August. Per Transport Canada and the Registrar of Imported Vehicles the car must have any pending recalls completed. The fact that Toyota opened the recall and hasn't provided...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    Also, the noisy motor doesn't seem to impact performance or range - it's just noise, so worst case scenario you have a car that is still quieter than an ICE.

    Text massaging not working 2015 rav4

    The messaging feature has always been hit-or-miss for me. I have a Nexus 5 with Android 5.1 and use Hangouts for text messaging. Sometimes messages that come through my carrier number in Hangouts will display on the RAV4, Google Voice messages and internet Hangouts messages never do. There's...

    Bakefield EV Owners Meetup April 30th 5:30 pm

    I'd be there if I didn't have a class that night in Woodland Hills so I wouldn't be able to make it back in time. Maybe next time!

    Recommendation of Electrician/Installer in LA/Orange

    Sustainable Solutions Partners is very EV friendly and have installed EVSEs for me and my family (and solar too). They've been installing EVSEs since the EV1 days. They do very high quality work and are very reasonably priced. Talk to Mike... http://sustainsp.com/contact.php

    Break in to a locked RAV4EV with an RF amplifier

    I agree and I'm not particularly worried, however the RAV4 will not immobilize if it loses comms with the key, as many of us who have had low keyfob batteries can attest. It'll beep at you and say key not found but you are still allowed to drive.

    tesla order change: no more dual chargers possible

    I think the answer is right there in the last sentence. Standard supercharging means dual chargers are no longer a particularly attractive option, especially since the cost to install at home is usually higher as many people would need panel upgrades to accommodate 100A breakers. With the...

    Out of State service

    Page 3 of your extended warranty booklet. Your "Agreement Information" page should specify the limits.

    Buying new tires...anyone done this already

    Has anyone tried using the car/minivan non-Dueler Ecopias on the RAV? Doesn't seem like there's really any difference for most use, especially since the RAV doesn't go off-roading and isn't 4WD. They have a new version of the regular Ecopia (EP422 Plus) that I'm considering which is a bit...

    dealer replaces small battery that went dead for no reason?

    I haven't experienced the 12v battery going dead in the RAV4 (yet), but have in the Focus EV, the LEAF, my Prius before that, my dad's Honda Element and his Ford F-150. Dead auxiliary batteries are a car thing, not an EV thing. Also, charging the battery for 5 minutes is rarely ever...

    Out of State service

    I don't think Toyota has any legal basis to deny a loaner while performing warranty work regardless of state. Sounds like breach of contract.

    Trailer range extender

    Having done the trip to Utah from SoCal and back I know that even CHAdeMO won't help you. There is one CHAdeMO on that route, in Las Vegas, which is unreliable according to PlugShare. I'm suspect of this pusher-trailer idea for all the reasons mentioned before (safety, emissions, rent/buy the...

    Buy Back Dreams

    I heard they were going to allow people to get credit toward JdeMO installation instead of taking the $500 cheque if they're so inclined. :lol:

    Hood Struts add-on

    Indeed. My RAV4 will eventually migrate to BC where it'll spend most of it's time within a few blocks of the ocean but will be exposed to snow (and possibly salted roads) in addition to near-perpetual rain. But most importantly for me I'm not the handiest with a drill.

    TPMS mysteriously shows a warning then goes away?

    Hmm. So this happened a couple more times last week - about 20 minutes into my drive and it's happened now in both the morning and evening. I inflated back up to 43PSI yesterday thinking that would solve the problem, but lo and behold it came up again as I was coming into Moorpark this...

    TPMS mysteriously shows a warning then goes away?

    On Tuesday night I was driving back from work in Moorpark and using the 118 HOV lane when my TPMS light started flashing just before the 405 interchange. I ditched the freeway in favour of sidestreets for the rest of the journey home and did stop to check the tires but everything seemed normal...

    How many people have had zero problems with their Rav EV?

    Past 16k miles and 10 months this weekend and despite milling noise there've been no troubles for me.

    ALL POSTS - GOM - Range Meter - Distance To Empty meter

    Take a look at this thread: http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=825 Basically, the guess-o-meter is just that, a guess based on your past driving. I've had it give me anywhere between 90-120 on a normal charge. Nothing's wrong with the car, if you want to increase that number...
