I have not seen much info about Toyota used car platinum warranty posted. The new car platinum warranty is much cheaper but I missed my chance. I was told at my dealer yesterday that the cost of a used car platinum warranty is determined by the odometer reading. In particular there is a ~$400...

Update. I waited about 1 month for the replacement DU and brought it in to the service department on Monday. Picked up a silent RAV4 on Tuesday but noticed that the range estimate dropped from 120 miles with AC off to 89 miles with AC on ECO HI whereas before the replacement and reseting it...

Took my 2014 RAV4 EV with 43K miles in (Carson Toyota) for the drive train whining yesterday. They said I am eligible for a replacement under warranty and they are ordering the parts. My 3 year lease is ending in June. I will have to decide about keeping or returning. A silent drive train...

I got a response last Friday 9/11/15 from Percy Chan at Entunes who told me the same. I can confirm that charge start notification email did finally show up when on timer start charge mode. Now I have a dilemma. From time to time, I get a plug swap by someone else while parked at work. If on...

Am I the only one that receive email notifications for charge interruption, charge completion, charge failure and remind to plug in but NOT charge start? I have all 5 options checked on my account setting in www.myentunes.com but I have never EVER received a charge start notification since I...

If I read your numbers correctly, your real consumption is production + consumption, i.e. all your production was consumed in any given months. e.g. Jan is 406 + 589 = 995 kWh. BTW what is your system size?

SCE has discontinued their TOU-TEV plan and are offering 3 different TOU-D plans. It seems TOU-D-A is better for EV charging at night whereas TOU-D-T suits residential with solar PV. If my solar PV will cover most of my usage in kWh, is there a reason to go with TOU-D-A over TOU-D-T? Any...

My home usage was 9000 kWh for last 12 months. I estimate up to 400 kWh per month for the EV, if I charge at home only. So my estimate future usage would be anywhere from 9000 to 13800 kWh. I will take the mean arbitrarily, i.e. 11,400 kWh. I was quoted a 6 kW system (300W x 20 panels) that...

Thanks @miimura. I did some browsing online to see how others install Tesla HPWC and it seems a 200A main breaker is fine. HPWC is much more prevalent than CS-100 but the requirements should be the same. The kicker of course is a CS-100 (100A breaker) and a JESLA (50A breaker). I will be...

For roughly a couple of hundred dollars more, I can get a "new in the box" Clipper Creek CS-100 (not sure about warranty) rather than a eBay re-purposed CS-60 (or a new HCS-60). This got me thinking. Both units is overkill for the RAV4 EV. However, in 3 years when my lease is up, I bet there...

What is the difference between CS-60 ($1,995) and HCS-60 ($898) that account for the price difference, assuming residential usage inside garage? Thanks. Edit: oops. reversed the prices. thx @fooljoe

Interesting. I wonder what the economics of leasing vs buying for solar panels is. I wonder if there more tax credit for leasing than buying in the system, somewhat akin to the RAV4 EV now.

I am duly impressed by the amount of support I am getting in this forum as a noob. So far I am hearing mixed signal on the Leviton. I am not hearing anything bad (yet) on the Clipper Creek units. Ideally I want 40A so that would mean HCS-60. Since I am hiring an electrician anyways, perhaps the...

Thanks everyone for your valuable input. Yes I am in Orange County. I will re-read every post again this weekend when my mind is a little more fresh. In a way I am glad I got the RAV4 EV 4 before ordering the solar panels. The LG 300W solar panels that I was looking into are back ordered and I...

We are planning to install solar panels on the roof top this summer. Is there a guide to estimate the additional electricity generation required if I plan to drive 1000 miles per month on the RAV4? In other word, how much bigger system in kW I would need to add to my existing estimate? On the...

I will be hiring an electrician to bring in 240V x2 sockets into the garage for charging a RAV4 EV and a future EV. I would prefer a 40+A charger. The options available to me seems to be. 1. Leviton EVB40-P5T 40A - I read in one of the threads here that I can call them direct and get it and the...
