    Cover for RAV4EV

    A cover for the regular RAV4 should work just fine.

    Who hasn't had a battery charging problem?

    No problems with my home Aerovironment/BMW charger. Have used a few Chargepoints and Clipper Creeks with no issues. Minor issues with a Juice Bar charger. Took a while for charging to commence. I plugged it in and nothing happened. I thought it wasn't working, but had to go to my meeting...

    Las Vegas to Southern California

    140+ miles to Newberry Springs is cutting it very close Top off in Primm if you can. They actually have 2 Chargepoints. Even if you added only 20 miles back in, it would help. If Baker had a J1772, it would be very doable.

    Tesla model S UMC with J1772 & JESLA(tm) conversion

    I hate it when that happens. A very simple solution is that both Chargepoint and Entunes report charging status and disconnects. Check your phone every once in a while when charging to keep an eye on things.

    Car enthusiasts on this forum?

    The RAV4 EV is my third electric car. I was never a gearhead when I had to buy gasoline, but I really like driving electric. My first EV was a converted '74 MGB Roadster. Somebody else converted it and I bought it used. It had a DC motor and 120v worth of golf cart batteries. About 50 miles...

    Entune / Android 4.3

    Let's see... amfca has an HTC One, I have a Nexus 4. I'm sure people with other devices are having problems, so... not a device issue.

    90 mile round trip commute

    It's doable. The range on a normal charge is 100-110, if you did extended charges, you'd easily get 130-140. I just did a 140 mile round trip and had miles left. That much driving, however, would wear down the battery faster. If you did the 3 year lease with unlimited miles, it might make...

    Entune / Android 4.3

    Yeah, I agree, they are better. Unfortunately, cops hand out tickets for looking at the screen on a phone (but not for looking at the screen in a car). So, the solution requires pulling over to look for charging and/or setting the Pandora station - not ideal.

    Entune / Android 4.3

    Pretty much the same issue here. I spent over an hour on the phone with Toyota trying to get their brains around the issue. They had no clue what I was talking about... I also submitted support ticket, but I doubt they even knew how to describe the problem. It definitely is an issue with the...

    I ordered mine online. No issues.

    Anybody have a 3D printer?

    These guys can print in just about any material: http://www.shapeways.com/ Email them the model and they ship it back. A little expensive, but they do good work.

    RAV4 EV 2014 update?

    Interesting. If it just 4WD, I won't be jealous. If it is fast charging and/or bigger battery, I might be very jealous.

    Does anyone use the pre-climate during a charge?

    Assuming it is like my other EV, the pre-climate gets the car to temperature using the mains rather than the battery. In extreme temps, you could save a bit of battery by doing this.

    Melted charging pins on nozzle @home on 30A Schneider chargr

    Corroded/dirty terminals, poor quality connections from the wires to the terminals (i.e. bad crimps/solders/welds)

    Tesla model S UMC with J1772 & JESLA(tm) conversion

    Ordered the Tesla UMC. Thinking of getting this 70A plug for $120: http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-Amp-J1772-Plug-/261236455153?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd2e7f6f1 Before I pull the trigger... I'm assuming this will work? If so, I'll order and probably add my name to the list.
