Currently, unless you have a way for the car to be leased in California and operated in Phoenix, good luck getting the $16,500 lease discount. It has to be registered first in California to get that discount.


No degradation has been reported that is even close to what the LEAF has:

If you need to keep the cells cool, with Rav4 EV, you can either leave the car charging slowly (which will run the Temperature Management System) or physically leave the car ON with the fob inside and lock the doors with the mechanical door key.


The third method is to precondition the cabin with the onboard timer or various online methods. For 20 minutes, it will cool the battery (and cabin).
