    Check cruse control warning

    For the third time I have seen a "check cruse control" message on the dash. I pull over shut the car off and back on and the. The CC works. Anyone else have this issue. I'll have toyota scan it at the 10k service if it is not something that may lead me to get stranded. Thanks

    What are PG&E electricity prices for RV parks?

    To me the best thing to do is offer $10 and be willing to pay a little more, I have a friend that owns a RV park and has asked me about letting people charge. He said that in the summer his electric bill can be well over $5000. He was good with the $10 and was even thinking of putting in a...

    Alright, Im ready to buy or take over lease your Rav4 EV

    How do you feel about leaving it registered in CA? If so find a CA address, lease one your self, claim the $2500 in carb and just pay the reg for two years, then buy it out at the end and then register it in NY. Just a thought.

    Will the JESLA work with a Tesla Supercharger?

    Not a problem, I have a big driveway and it makes the EV experience so much better when you know you have a place o charge. If your thinking about the area I would do so soon, houses are going crazy again, glad I bought a fixer upper a few years ago, I could not afford to buy my house today...

    Will the JESLA work with a Tesla Supercharger?

    There are two chargers at the harbor, last time I was there only one worked, the Robobank was only charging at 208 with the B-class, which I can watch the charge data, last week. If you want to charge at night, get a hotel in Solvang, only a few miles away and there are many public chargers in...

    Key FOB

    I looked into getting a third, part was $220 and then they wanted $75 to program it, I will sit on the idea for a bit. As far as the washed one just pt it back together and do what the rest of the world does, take it to the dealer and say "it just stopped working". ;)

    Will the JESLA work with a Tesla Supercharger?

    No, if your looking for chageing in that area, Goleta Robobank on fair view has a 208v70 amp charger, only one and often in use, there are many in down town SB, charge point units at 30 amp, $1/hr. in Solvang there are a bunch of chargers but they charge $.35/kwh, a high price if you ask me. A...

    Hypermile tips - disappointing range?

    The BMW charger is not blocked off but it can be trickey to get to. The issue they have is lack of parking during service hours. The el Rancho is a CC 30 amp, I use it when I go to the market and it was handy when I coasted in on turtle coming home one night from SB. I wish everyone was SLO...

    Anyone suggest an alternative?

    The only one that comes close is the mercedes B class, nice car and cost is less than the rav, but ere is not lease deal. Also the plugin Cayenne will be here soon, however I think it will get single digits on the ev range as the panamera only gets 14-18 miles and its the same size battery and...

    Hypermile tips - disappointing range?

    Seems like we travel the same routes. As far ad 154 vs 101, it takes less power to go over 154, I drive 154 every day. I go from Solvang to Atascadero often, I do a standard charge, st for coffee in SLO at target for about 15-20 min and arrive in atas with two bars left, I drive 65-70. If...

    Rav4EV as your only car? What else do you own?

    I use the Rav for commuting only. We have a Porsche cayenne as our long trip car, far from fuel friendly. We have taken the rav to my parents house once, 95 miles one way, but there is only one charger in town, however I installed a plug to charge at there house so that will ease the stress. If...
