    Weird Malfunction

    Yesterday I bought a beautiful 2012 RAV4 EV for my sister, I test-drove it for 30 mins and everything worked perfectly. I started and stopped it multiple times with no issues. No errors. No warnings. I charged it for 15 mins or so during the test drive with no issues. Last night I plugged in a...

    Last weekend I test-drove two RAV4 EVs advertised for sale by used car dealers in the Los Angeles, California area: VIN 2T3YL4DV7DW001669 VIN 2T3YL4DV9CW001493 Both cars made the infamous "milling noise" (Metal on metal grinding noise in the transaxle) described elsewhere in this forum...

    Winken' Binken' but no Noddin'

    This past weekend my JdeMO entertained me with some new blinking light patterns, but no charging, on two chargers I had not tried before. The chargers are both FreeWire BOOST chargers, and I can successfully charge with that model of charger in King City, California. These two are in San Jose...

    EVgone?

    Hi JdeMO owners, have you been able to charge at ANY EVgo Chademo station since around mid-September 2022? I can still charge at Electrify America CHAdeMO chargers, sometimes (not every time), but I cannot seem to get any EVgo CHAdeMo charger to actually charge. They all do the same thing: 1...
