Oops, I just noticed this “post here only” thread after posting a separate thread for selling my RAV4 EV. Posting again: I'm selling my 2013 Toyota RAV4 EV. It has 40,400 miles, "Blizzard Pearl" white exterior color, JdeMO quick charging system, a tow hitch and what remains of its 8-year...

I'm selling my 2013 Toyota RAV4 EV. It has 40,400 miles, "Blizzard Pearl" white exterior color, JdeMO quick charging system, a tow hitch and what remains of its 8-year /100,000-mile extended warranty (in service date October 2013). Non-smoking owner, tires in good condition, drivetrain was...

I didn’t see any sign of the cable having been pulled out and note that this connection between the JLong and the Jesla was (and always was) laying on the floor — never any force or strain pulling on the cable or the connection. One thought is that the connection wasn’t fully latched and the...

I thought others on this forum might be interested in what just happened with my QuickChargePower JLong charging cord extension. Here's the email I just sent to QuickChargePower – Tony has already replied, "That is indeed strange!" and asked me to send both units back for repair...

I just replaced my Bosch AGM under warranty as well. I started seeing the usual early warning signs of low 12V battery and its inability to hold a charge even though I’ve been keeping it on a trickle charger. However, my guess was that this was fallout from one year ago when it was accidentally...

I picked up an inexpensive air quality sensor to test my home recently and then decided to test how well the Tesla Model 3 and the RAV4 EV could clear the smoky air we’ve been getting from the California wildfires. (The Model 3 doesn’t have the Model X’s fancy “biodefense mode” or huge HEPA...

I submitted a complaint (as described above in my previous post) to Toyota Customer Care. This is the rather disappointing reply: I've replied with the explanation that plugging in the vehicle does not in fact maintain the 12V battery and provided links to various threads on the forum...

I’m currently at Toyota Sunnyvale looking at a long wait (maybe five hours?) for their EV technician to do diagnosis on my “Check EV System” message that resulted from draining my 12V battery while away for a couple of months. My issue is that they’ve given me a $298 estimate for doing a...

Thanks Tony, and everyone else.

I'm stuck with a persistent "Check EV System" message now. It happened following a two-month period where my RAV4 EV sat unused while I was away. (I forgot to hook up the trickle charger to the 12V and the person I asked to do it while I was away didn't realize you can't make electrical...

Yes it is Toyota Platinum Warranty. I’ll suggest that she update her ad. Update: It’s now sold. (For $21,500.)

My girlfriend is selling her 2014 RAV4 EV (shoreline blue pearl, 41,100 miles) which has the JdeMO quick charge upgrade, a replaced drive unit and an extended warranty. Located in the San Jose, CA area. She's asking $21,500. Here is her craigslist ad...

If you're still looking, my girlfriend is selling her 2014 RAV4 EV (shoreline blue pearl) which has both a replaced drive unit and an extended warranty. It also has the JdeMO upgrade and only 41,100 miles. Located in the San Jose, CA area. She's asking $21,500. Here is her craigslist ad...

Just got my motor replaced yesterday at Toyota of Palo Alto. (Mine's an October 2013 with 36K miles.) Oh my word, it's so quiet!! The sweet sound of silence (tire noise aside). I had forgotten how quiet it originally was!! Here I had been waiting for the noise to become apparent enough to...

As you’ll learn from the extensive thread on the subject of the displayed range estimate (or as many like to say “GOM” or “guess-o-meter”), you can’t draw any conclusions from the displayed estimate. You might see something in the 70’s up through the 100’s: the number is based on the vehicle’s...
