Just for another anecdote, last weekend my GIS class was participating in a field study of the LA river that involved about 120 miles of driving across the region. I volunteered to drive one of the carpools in the RAV. Despite spending the day with 4 adults in the RAV4 (two of which were also...

Not entirely true. They won't service it (who cares, it's just some BMW fluid and tire rotations), but many out of state owners have had warranty work performed. http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=366

I agree it's stupid, but most urban Japanese don't have cars at all. In more suburban and rural areas, however, garages and covered carports are actually quite common. Either way, placing it in the trunk is a silly solution. Under the hood would have been better, but still not as good as...

Indeed they do. This generator hasn't been started for ages, but I only ended up with it a few months ago. I don't think my Generac's experience is any indication of their current product (I really can't blame them for the thing sitting for over a decade) but while I've been digging around the...

I have a 15 year old version of that 10kW Generac (10000EXL) I inherited sitting around that I was trying to make run so I can sell it. In doing research it seems like the Hondas are much better quality.

I'd look at the negative comments more as constructive criticism. I like your idea and I think you did a nice job documenting it - which helps the community provide input to make it better. When it comes to safety, I don't think you can have too much constructive criticism. Personally, I...

My 60A feeder line for my EVSEs uses #6 wire. My 40A split uses #8, and my 20A split uses #12. As specified by the late great William Korthof of Sustainable Solutions and signed off on by LADWP.

I believe this is due to the RAV4 "falling asleep" if the J1772 is connected in such a way, though I don't have personal experience with this. I think the only way to do this from the wall is to use something like an OpenEVSE with Real Time Clock to send a "wake-up" signal to the RAV4. I don't...

Yeah, or if you're not comfortable with that you can PM me and I can make the change. I'm working on an updates-only form but just haven't found the time to finish it yet. This semester has been crazy for me (20 units, my fault) but only 6 weeks left woohoo!

Happy to help! I agree on the suitability of the RAV4 for Canada. For us it will be the ideal car there as it's capable in snow, easy to maneuver in the city, spacious/versatile enough to be our only car, and of course it'll allow us to use cheap hydro versus expensive gas. With the JdeMO...

I've added some new calculations, including average daily mileage and total miles logged. The owner's registry has now logged more than a HALF MILLION RAV4 EV miles!

If it's anything like my 2007 Prius' nav system, it will work in Canada but not well. On the Prius it would have a hard time geo-decoding addresses unless they were on major streets in Vancouver, Victoria, or Kelowna. Also, when we took the RAV4 to Utah, it had trouble geo-decoding addresses...

Don't recall seeing it in the handbook, so here's a quick video I made: http://youtu.be/ZBRjyWhFTWY

Yes. I'm importing mine to Canada next summer when I move back to Vancouver and I've tested this. There is a metric setting that changes everything to km and Celsius with one button. Also, all the warning stickers (i.e. for airbags) are in English and French and the car has DRLs. It seems to...

I would also think it was the previous week, which would be consistent with the old daylight saving time law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_time_in_the_United_States#DST_2007

I think this is partly because these leases use most of the language from a regular car's lease, which wouldn't have all these rebates and incentives applied to them. In those scenarios, leasing to buy out would rarely ever make sense. We're in a unique situation due to the nature of the...

But all the cool kids on the streets of Pripyat are wearing them! :lol:
