I can tell you, charged fine a couple of times now. Drove it to work today and the vehicle seems normal. I told them I read the code CHG_f078 myself. How they performed the repairs was not shared with me. Professional or not, I would not expect them to take the time to tell me. If the OBC...

Update and resolution. After calling Toyota NA direct a few weeks ago and being passed around the system I finally got a hold of Wilde Toyota Service center. They are the only Toyota Dealer in SE Wisconsin with an EV tech. They checked and apparently there was only two RAV4 OBCs available in...

Appreciate the sentiment. If I find someone to help I'll let the group know. Thanks for the update on the fuse test. Do you have a link to the discussion explaining why it is not reliable indicator?

It's been 6 weeks since I last posted. Just a quick update. Nothing has changed except I have been rejected or ghosted at every turn to get this thing serviced. EV repair shops in Madison and Chicago do not seem to want to accept the job. Starting to think I may have to do this myself. My...

OK. I understand your point now on flashing firmware. Can that be done with the TPD v1.1.46 or do you need the V1.1.42? Another thought. In your opinion, do you think the new Toyota service OBC parts are less likely to fail than the 2nd hand Ebay versions? Is charging at 40A risky for the...

Gentlemen, Super thank you for your time and advice. Seems the solution is to replace the OBC again. The QC charge warranty is 3 months or 3,000 miles. It's not a lot, but I don't think that's uncommon for auto repair. We all support driving an uncommon vehicle with greater than normal...

Team, I've been a long time 2nd owner of my Rav4 EV. It's been my main vehicle since May of 2017. I live in WI, so it's seen some winters as well. But, as many others have experienced, it can have some complicated issues. And once again mine is not charging. Looking to get some feedback...

Not sure what your driving habits are, but if you want to plan for the best I'd suggest swapping one of your 30A for a 50A breaker [$15] and swap the dryer plug for a 14-50 receptacle [$10]. Assuming your dryer plug is already in your garage its likely not going to have the 8ga [maybe 6ga] wire...

I paid $2200 for $0d/96mth/100K TPW. I got a couple other quotes from local dealers that where as high as $2700 for the same. I did call and talked with Troy at Greenfeild. Before I talked with him I called 1-800-Go-Toyota and talked to a guy in the finance dept. to verify he was legit. After...

I wrote on Apr 18th I just wanted to update that I did receive my approved Toyota Platinum Warranty paperwork yesterday.

I just bought my Rav4 EV from a Toyota dealer in Wisconsin last month. Its a 2014, had 32K miles and is in very good condition. Based on my experiences the past 3 weeks and being a recent purchase here is my take. I paid $18,500 plus $2200 for a 8yr/100K/$0ded Warranty I don't know much...

Thanks Mike, that's good to know. For anyone, do you need to purchase the "Safety Connect" service to use your mobile phone to access the charging/cabin climate features. That's the answer I got when I called Toyota, but they had to transfer me 3 times and didn't seem very confident in the...

Do Juicebox 40A chargers work on the Rav4 EV?

Tony, Can't help but read your post and think that your trying to talk me off the ledge??? :o Also, There was a "things to check post" and it passed all the bullet points. I don't think my sales guy ever had someone ask as many questions about a car before. Unfortunately, most of them I...

For anyone interested in knowing, at 32K, the Tony test resulted in 136 miles. 136/146 = 93.2% or 6.8% degradation. Guess I've decided I'm going to go for it. :D

Thanks for the great comments. Glad to hear they take care of you if you have a warranty. I was at the dealer to drop off the vehicle and press for some more information. He was expecting me to sign the sales contract. Instated, I sat down with the salesman and gave them a printout of the...

A quick nation-wide look on Iseecars.com shows this price is about middle of the pack on price and mileage range, but more importantly, this one is already in Wisconsin. I'm also getting a Toyota warranty, obviously necessary for this vehicle. I have a spread sheet which accounts for gas...

I'm currently test driving [for 2 days] a 2014 Rav4 EV with 32K miles that's at a dealer in Milwaukee. One of two this dealer has. So far I really love this vehicle. It's quite, comfortable and handles pretty well for an SUV. This is my first EV and I want to thank all the knowledgeable...
