I'm selling one of my 2 Rav4 EV's.  57,000 miles. I just had it checked at Toyota of Berkeley and it's not making noise on the orginal motor. The one I'm selling has the $3,500 aftermarket Jdemo 440volt DC fast charge port and hood struts installed by quickchargepower. The heater and DC to DC converter was just replaced for $7,000 covered by the transferable extended warranty.


 I've been driving the Rav4 EV for 5 years and the first year was a nightmare for me when I would try to charge at work and the charger i was using would fail or some idiot would unplug me to charge their car and I'd have to wait another 4 hours to charge before I could go home at the end of the day.  Some people can stand it but I have no use for an EV that takes 5 to 8 hours to charge.  I think ev's without a quick charge Port should be banned. They give EV's a bad reputation as being inconveinent and a huge compromise of time that you waste charging for 5 to 8 hours before you can drive another 100 miles. I 100% agree. My recommendation is to buy one with a Jdemo Chademo port or budget in drivingvto San Diego and have one installed for $3,500.


If you'd like to take a look at the one I'm selling, below is the link. I don't want to sell it, I wanted to give it to my dad but I'm getting a divorce so I have to sell. 

 It's a great car if the motor doesn't scream when you drive it and if you have the after market fast charger.
