I am not expert but I used a laser temperature sensor gun to get the temperature reading. My recollection of the temperature readout was 110deg, after 30 minutes of plug-in.

One more note for EVians who want to convert a Model S UMC for J-handle. Please note that "some" Tesla made 14-50 adapters were poorly made. If you are the unlucky one who gets one of the poorly made 14-50 adapters, you may be at risk in melting it. Please see...

This 1st link (Universal Mobil Connector) is for model S. Unless you cut the S-handle and replace it with a J-handle, you will not be able to use it for your Rav4EV. Example of such modification is at http://www.waidy.com/images/UMCwJhandle001.jpg The 2nd link J-1772 connector is for Model...

It has a very low frequency of humming. When I turn off my car, I also hear the crank sound but I do not believe it's from the liquid cooling system.

It's strange that I feel I have a different Rav4 setting than some of you. Sometime when I walked up to my parked Rav (power was off), I can hear the liquid cooling system in work when it's very hot. The sound sounded a little louder than my Model S's liquid cooling system.

Good job on the 177 miles with 5 miles left and NO TURTLE!! Was it a pretty flat freeway drive? How fast/slow were you going?

Speaking of AC, has any of you notice that IF the TMS was on while the Rav4EV was parked, the cabin AC turn on itself in auto mode after you power on the vehicle when you get in the car? I never use AC (only use AC when I have guest(s) in the car). Therefore, I know my AC is always off...

I look forward seeing you all.

Hi Tony: I was just informed by Darren that he will be driving in his Model S to LA Wednesday July 3 straight from his work place in San Francisco. Therefore, I now have 4 rooms in the main house + the guest apartment you stayed last year. I welcome any BC2BC participants to stay and use my 4...

I tested both of my RAVs, no lag either.

I have 1 main panel and 8 sub-panels, total of 138 breakers. I don't think I can find any tool that could monitor all my breakers :-(

It also depends on the voltage at the time when you plugin. It may be anywhere from 208-270V. If you share a transformer with your neighbor, it is likely that someone is turning on their dryer or charging their Tesla :-)

Hi neighbor, I don't always get the "interrupt" message. Only few times when I unplug couple hours after the bulk charge is completed, sometime if I unplugged in early in the morning (4:30-5am) when I plugged in to charge before I go to bed. In the case of unplug few hours after the bulk...

Yes. I understand that and that is why I am not concern. My message is to tell others that "no worry, be happy". The "interrupt" message does not ONLY apply to schedule charging. They didn't document the cell balance in the 1st gen Rav4EV either. We found out ourselves that the 1st gen...

I never use time charge. The "interrupt" message also happens during non schedule plug-in charge. I often get the "interrupt" message few hour after the bulk charge is completed when I unplug the J-connector from the J-inlet.

SeaMonster, thanks for logging the failure events. I wonder if you would, next time if you talk to the tech, ask the tech to put probes on the input/output wires of the ECU and BMS units, then create the events and capture the wave forms to help to debug the problem. They must have a logic...

One at 8,200 miles and the other at 4,900 miles.

How much was your charge port inlet fix? Toyota should have sold you a 40kWh Model S.
