No change in the GOM when I do regular charge 110 or extended charge 110. I recently replaced the 12V battery thanks to Tony's urging. I have 56K miles on my EV purchased Feb '13. I need to drive 102 miles and would feel better having charged to extended.

I just had Costco Sunnyvale install 4 new tires. I went with the Michelin Defender XT 225/65R17 102T. There was not a problem on the speed rating. They explained they could install since it was just 1 rating lower, not 2. The cost for all 4 with tax, balance, disposal was $715. They also...

I have also noticed the car stuttering at 30-35 mph. Car has over 36,000 miles on it. It is one of the early ones built in 2012. Is this covered under warranty? Will they replace the Drive Unit? It is intermittent...but more than a one time occurrence. I have tended to ignore it...but should...

Purchases in Feb 2013; Have 19,000 miles....almost zero problems. I LOVE the car. occasionally stuck charging door and occasionally didn't charge as planned, not a show stopper. :)

I am looking for a dealer with a knowledgeable mechanic for my 5,000 mile checkup on the RAV4 EV. I have heard from owners of the original EV that Palo Alto has a good technician. Anyone recommend any of the following service dept? Sunnyvale, Piercy in Milpitas, Stevens Creek or Palo Alto...

Vin 1024 purchased Feb 8, 2013 in Sunnyvale. It must have sat on the dealer lot a long time, second oldest I've seen.

Just took delivery of my RAV4 EV last week...I'm loving it. We have had SunPower panels on our home for 7 years. I "donate" to PG&E every year so I am expecting my increased usage for the EV will consume that excess. Small house with little usage.It's nice to pass the gas stations and just plug...

Toyota dealers have upped the bonus cash incentive to $7,000 not the $7,500 as previously stated BUT they also have more incentives to move the cars so dealers are negotiating. I'm getting a good deal. Off to sign the papers...and then get going on installing a charger after more research.
