Since DC charging doesn't involve the onboard charger. Tony, do you think the supercharger would work with this mod on the Rav4EV? .. You get me dreaming..

I see. This is a good one. Thank you.

I am so jealous. I spoke to the Parts Department at noon today. They still haven't had a shipment yet. Therefore, mine is still back-ordered :-( The Model S to J1772 adapter won't work because one end has a male S connector and the other end has a female J1772. We need the other way around...

Yes, I suggest you use $/kWh produce, instead of $/kW. This way, the efficiency of the system and the location of the system (south facing, SW facing, et. al.) will be included to the equation.

My 1st phase installation in 2004/2005 was done by Sunlight and Power (There weren't much to choose from at that time. I think there were 3 only at that time in my area). My 2nd phase installation was done by RealGoods Solar. Both were really good and professional, allow owner participation :-)

Hi robertk925, I second Spiffster.

Ummm, it doesn't say what kind of panel and inverter, especially the efficiency of such. If the majority of the savings are in the materials by using a less efficiency of panel and inverter, then this is not really a good deal for the consumer. It would be nice if they post the kind of panel...

Welcome and congrat!! By the way, there is no problem to own 2 Rav4EVs. I have two 2 Rav4EVs.

Just a note, that PG&E has program in which PG&E will cover service upgrades to PG&E lines and transformers caused by the purchase of an EV for a maximum of $2000. This is anything from anywhere from PG&E all the way up to your meter. You will have to pay for the upgrade from the meter to your...

Like most of the Rav4ers in this forum, I only use B mode when I know I have to stop (for a stop light, stop sign, etc.) or on a long and windy downhill road (to slow down for sharp curves). When driving downhill on freeway, I use N or sometime I accelerate on a downhill freeway to pick up the...

My Name is Waidy Lee, ancient EV driver. Own/owned 6 EVs in my life, drove over 230K fossil fuel free miles (see http://www.waidy.com/ev). My collection of EVSE's in my garage can be viewed at http://www.waidy.com/evse, source of juicing my EVs is at http://www.waidy.com/solar. I am known of...

Please let us know after you get the Model S mobile connector working. I am interested of the instruction of connecting the cable with the J-connector.

I think it is more painful to follow a driver driving 3.5 miles/kWh :-) Yes, don't follow me or you will be very unhappy.

I disagreed with the Manager, that it is "Toyota's policy" of not allowing a custom to talk to the EV technician. I have been in direct contact with my EV technician since I own my 2002 Toyota Rav4EV in April 2002, and since I own my two 2012 Toyota Rav4EV in November, 2012. Next time you can...

Sorry that my message causes confusions. * Model S never had schedule time charging functionality until the release of 4.3 few weeks ago. The 4.3 release allows for schedule time charging with the limitation only can be scheduled for departure time (just like the Rav, But the only different...

Tony is correct. Darren tested the schedule time charging and it works flawlessly. However, it only does "departure time" (just like the Ravs), and not start time.

Here is an email from my Rav4 tech at Toyota Palo Alto sent me Tuesday 3/26: JUST FOUND OUT WHAT CHARGING UPDATE IS FOR,IT CHANGES ECU LOGIC WHEN THE AUX BATTERY HAS LOW STATE OF CHARGE & CAR IS CHARGED CERTAIN CODES WILL NOT SET.WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY DO ANY UPDATES AVAILABLE WHEN YOU BRING IN...

I am having a 75Amp OpenEVSE installed at my daughter's house, in which, it requires a 100Amp breaker. In additions, I am adding a NEMA 14-50 outlet outside the house on the driveway. The NEMA 14-50 requires a 50Amp breaker. My daughter's power feed is 100 amps, and the proposed 2 charger...

Definitely. Actually, I have already gotten a 2nd.

Both of my Ravs are still virgin on 120V. Therefore, I know my schedule charging problem is not the one they haven't fixed.
