If the 12V battery is disconnected for ~5-7 hours, does that mean I have to reprogram my radio stations (which I would dread), or does the system have enough memory/capacitance to keep it stored during this test? BTW, I swapped out my 12V lead acid battery for a lithium ion Valence U1-12RT...

Finally! A single phase high power charger which theoretically could be used for faster home charging of our RAV4EVs with JdeMO feature. http://insideevs.com/siemens-unveils-single-phase-24-kw-fast-charger/ I know that emotorwerks has been developing something similar and now we have a major...

I put mine on last weekend. Oh so simple and super smooth operation. Mod. Note: Here are links to two sources for these kits... http://sokietech.com/shop-by-brands/toyota/09-12-toyota-rav4-black-color-gas-hood-shock-damper-kit.html http://www.redlinetuning.com/product-p/21-27006-01.htm

I had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday. Somehow I lost ~10kWh. Is Encyclopedia Brown on the list? I could use your help. Here are the facts: My average daily usage 60 miles. Driving pattern does not deviate much. Recharge time typically takes ~3 hours using 240V/30A EVSE. Fully...

I'm pleased to report that my extended warranty works as I hoped. Mid December my heater stopped working. I called Kevin Spillane at Toyota Corp. and he coordinated with my local Toyota dealership (in Austin, Tx) to diagnose my car. Basically, they needed someone from Toyota to follow their...

I purchased this sunshade for my RAV4EV. It is kind of expensive, but fits like a glove. UVS100 Heat Shield: 2012 TOYOTA RAV4 Part # UV10963SV http://www.covercraft.com/

I came across this cool website documenting the BMW electronauts and their on-going progress. http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/innovations/bmwi/bmwi.aspx#electronauts_range summary here http://electronaut.bmwactivatethefuture.com/login I wish Toyota would do something like this for...

Instead of dwelling on the scheduled charging issues with the RAV4EV, I'd like to make a suggestion to the Tesla engineers (or other EV companies) about an ideal charger control strategy. 1. To address those customers that can take advantage of off-peak hours, have the ability to program a "Do...

Thought the group would like to see this interview. http://www.cars21.com/news/view/5289

The last digits on my RAV4EV VIN are 001396. Does that mean mine is number 1396 out of 2600?

Does the RAV4EV have the capability to be programmed to only draw a certain amount of current from the EVSE like the Tesla models can? This would allow one to take their EVSE (in portable mode) with them and plug into any available 240VAC socket, regardless of current rating. As an example...
