Just a couple weeks ago, I bought a 2013 RAV4 EV! Over the summer, a knee injury made my Model S impractical, so I did the only American thing and bought a pickup truck. Although I really like the truck, and will be using it to tow an RV soon, the 10 MPG for commuting to work wasn’t pleasant.

I’m really enjoying the RAV, even though it can’t fill the cross-country touring role. I found this one with 42k miles, and it’s in very good shape!!
 
Take a look through some of the recent forum posts (maybe we need to create a sticky for new owners somewhere...); there have been a few threads on motor coolant bypass you might want to check out (ie your motor is already on borrowed time, but there is a fix before things get bad/irreversible). Charger and/or contactor failure is becoming more likely with age. Otherwise these unicorns are fun little cars :)
