I was at the end of the lease process when they gave me a form to sign "Rav4EV Customer Disclosure Form". Everything was fine EXCEPT the information about the limited range and battery life. They ask you to initial that you are aware that the Rav4EV battery CAPACITY REDUCTION IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I'm fine with this as long as there's some limit to it but there is no limit. Like within 80% of capacity or something. Therefore, it seems to me that if you sign this you are responsible for the capacity reduction regardless of how bad it is. So if on day 2 it only holds a 70% charge that's MY problem??? Did everyone else just sign this and not worry??
 
No they do not cover battery degradation. But luckily degradation is minimal. One member here named Tony has a car that is an early 2012 model. He has tested it and found that he has only lost 12% in the 41,000 miles he has driven it.

As for the form,
