    Totaled RAV4 EV, what to do...

    So I've spoken with both my and the other party's insurance adjusters. Looks like there's no way their repair estimates will be below salvage price(<80% market value). They say damage to the floor pan is the most expensive part of the repair. In addition, a salvage title voids the power train...

    Air conditioner not working

    He didn't give me a quote because we don't know for sure that it's the condenser. I was thinking of just fixing it myself, just don't know about the computer reset part. I have a CAN/OBDII code reader that I've used on vehicles in the past, but get a "link error" when I plug it into the RAV...

    Air conditioner not working

    Good to know, thanks for the info. So there's no pressure in the AC system, so likely a leak somewhere. Looks like the condenser is the most common leak point. The mechanic I met with is very hesitant to work on an EV and mentioned that even if they find and fix the leak, I may still have to...

    Air conditioner not working

    Ok, thanks for the help. I'm gonna take it to a shop tomorrow. I know it's not ideal, but any idea how bad it is for the cells to be driving around in 85F or 90F weather with no working AC?

    Air conditioner not working

    Everything else works correctly but can't get the A/C on no matter the setting.

    Air conditioner not working

    It's getting warm here in the bay area and my A/C is not working. I don't hear the compressor run and the cabin vents just blow outside temperature air when the A/C is on. I can deal with the heat, but I'm concerned for the battery pack. I haven't gotten any high battery temp warnings, but from...

    Totaled RAV4 EV, what to do...

    I'm in SF. If I do buy back, I wouldn't want to sell it for another 6 months or so, so can't give you a price now. I got a quote for $5200 from a local body shop for rear door and bumper replacement. Parts are about $2k, the rest is labor. Also found a bumper assembly and rear door from a gas...

    Totaled RAV4 EV, what to do...

    My beloved 2013 RAV4 EV was rear ended last week and declared a total loss by the insurance adjuster. I have the option to buy it back for a little more than a third of the market value. The rear door/trunk still opens fine, so really just needs a new door and bumper(support bar, skin, etc). No...

    G48 Blue Anitfreeze

    I thought the concentrate was just being diluted to 50/50 with deionized water anyway. The Zerex is just premixed with decriminalized water. Does this make a difference?

    Hi everyone, new RAV4 EV owner here. I've been reading through the wealth of information on this forum and appreciate all the valuable stuff shared by everyone here. Finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2013 Shoreline blue RAV with 15k last week. So far, so good. Love the car. I was...

    Cheapest RAV4 EV Toyota Extended Warranty

    I spoke with someone at Toyota Financial, they said it's not possible to buy a warranty from them after 3/36k. I called back again just now to double check. Got the same response.

    Cheapest RAV4 EV Toyota Extended Warranty

    Does anyone here have any experience with a third party, "used car" warranty? I spoke with one company who quoted me $1900 for a 5 year/65,000 mile warranty(starting at date of warranty purchase) covering everything except the battery(which is still covered by Toyota). For an extra $30 they'll...
