Sounds awesome, and maybe optimistic. I hope you can manage to include a few photos as you go.

The last rounds of motor replacements had changes that have made them more reliable. It's also a good idea to periodically check for water intrusion into the moter by pulling the speed sensor: https://youtu.be/XfncTZcsSHM If you can catch it soon enough, it's possible to save the motor. Good...

Also, any shop doing AC servicing will have the equipment to reclaim the refrigerant, if it did turn out to be necessary. Environmental regs require it.

i'm so glad you guys are taking the time to document all this info here. i know the forum's a little quiet these days, but more and more of us will need this kind of help as our Ravs get older.

Fred, I'd try contacting https://057tech.com/ in North Carolina. I don't know if they can help you, but if they can't, they might know who could. P.S. Also try https://recell-ev.com/ in Texas. I know that they are more into the RAV, and may be more helpful even if they aren't as close.

92,000 miles. I got one other guy to give me a quote, but he insisted I come in to sign in person, which was not doable. No amount of negotiation would get them to budge.

I was never able to find anyong willing to sell me another warranty when mr first one was expiring. I got close with a guy that @miimura referred me to, but he refused at the last minute. I've given up unless someone finds a lead for me.

These guys might be able to help you if you really need something: http://www.recell-ev.com/ I've corresponded with Chad a bit. They started out with the RAV4 EV, and sounded willing to help, but I don't have a need at this point.

I'm interested in hearing how it goes for you.

You were lucky, I didn't notice until the heat had done damage to my inlet. Luckily, Toyota covered it under my extended warranty. I went with the Leviton 30a cable and connector to repair my OpenEVSE (the same one I put on my Blink a long time ago). It's a much more solid cable and plug than...

OMG! They didn't bother to notice the 12v battery was low? Isn't that the FIRST thing they should check as soon as they pop the hood? What kind of a clown car of a shop are they?

Definitely escalate. I'd say that either the dealer is completely clueless and isn't able to read the codes through ignorance, or there is something major wrong with the car's computers, which they should also be able to diagnose. In either case, they don't seem competent to service the car.

As the battery degrades over time, the "extended" part of the range is sacrificed to keep the "normal" range stable until there is finally no extended range left at all. After that, the normal range will begin to show degradation as well. However, the "Guess-o-meter" is not a great way to guage...

Ummmm...Spoke too soon. When I called back to execute the contract, I was told they are only allowed to do it in person, now. Dude there is totally nice, and is trying to see if he can work something out for me.

I'm at 91,000 miles and a couple of months until the Platinum warranty expires on my 2014, so I called a couple of places looking to extend the warranty. First I called a local dealer who kept insisting that should just trade it in instead, and finally gave me a quote for 3 years/36,000 miles @...

Sounds a little like the 2K22 bug. However I just checked my car and the date is right. https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/8/22873403/honda-acuras-y2k22-bug-clocks-reset-2002

Yeah, I do have JDemo. After reading back through the thread again, I decided to go with the Costco 24F, and try your earlier idea of running the Pre-climate on a schedule to make sure the DC-DC runs every day. Maybe I will scale that back to a few days a week, I don't know. I plan to keep an...

Now I've done it. Between COVID and my wife's semi-retired work schedule, she has been letting it sit for 4-5 days at a time intermittently. A couple of days ago, the car wouldn't power up all the way and wouldn't go into gear when she tried to go to work. When I got home, The battery read...

The GOM is based on your driving efficiency. The Tony test erases the driving history which is why the GOM reads higher afterwards. Since you do mostly fast freeway driving, your GOM readings sound about right for a battery this age. The battery naturally degrades as it ages, so this is normal...

I think that any fallout from this would come more from liability for damage should a car or charger be damaged during a charge than trying to police use of their charging network. I suppose that EVGO COULD program their chargers to refuse JDeMO, but I doubt they would do that.
