    Hello to the Remaining Rav4 EV Owners Out There

    Still rolling in the Seattle area! In fact just ordered new set of tires! MICHELIN X-TOUR A/S 2 225/65R17 102H She's got just over 76K miles, still on the original motor :O (it refused to whine during all the years I had a warranty!) Did all the other changes including cabin heater and had...

    2013 Rav4 EV Owner Since 2016 - Owner Experience

    I'm late to this thread... but I'll add my $0.02 These cars can be the source of some character building adventures. My last one was that I let the Entune Membership expire... bad mistake... You'd think that calling back and updating credit card information, see charge go through would fix...

    How many owners here are still on their original Drive Unit?

    I think mine is on the original unit (bought used with 27K, now at almost 50K) Does anyone have a recording of what the noise sounds like? I don't hear anything that sounds particularly worrisome... but I'm not sure what I'm looking for either.

    Is there a cabin pressure valve?

    For a while now I've noticed that closing the last door in the car is more difficult unless there's a window open. This often leads to the door not closing well and the person closing it opening and slimming the door hard. : / After trying a few things I think what's happening is that as the...

    RAV4EV tangentially mentioned on NPR 08Jul2019

    I was listening to that podcast too and that also caught my attention! I kept listening to hear where that person was located... it was colorado. "Toyota electric SUV... plugged in and 2 yellow lights came on...." sounds familiar!

    How to enable Low Speed Noise maker?

    I found a couple of pictures online but wasn't able to find a matching part on my rav. I removed the 12V battery, the plastic base it sits on and the metal frame THAT sits on (held by 4 bolts). I didn't find any plug that looked like the big square plug and I couldn't find anything that looked...

    How to enable Low Speed Noise maker?

    I got my rav4ev 2nd hand and it has never made a low speed noise. I remember reading references that there is a low speed noise maker. Does anybody have instructions or information on how to check if mine has one and how to enable it? Is this something relatively accessible for end users or is...

    Suggestion for next EV commuter?

    Good idea... I didn't think there were 2019s, but now that I looked there are. I wasn't thinking about a lease but this may be an interesting option... thanks! They are also available here in WA and with the $7,500 credit they end up in the mid 20s. Still about 10K more than a used one but...

    Suggestion for next EV commuter?

    We currently use a Rav4EV as our main commuter. Next month we'll be needing a second commuter which will mean wife gets the RAV4 and I need a new commuter. I'm sold on EVs and I think the best choice for us is an >200 miles EV SUV that we can hitch a bike rack to... which probably points to a Y...

    Seattle area drivers: what range are you seeing this winter?

    Mine is showing 90max (without heater on)… i'm wondering if the range loss is the cold or if the battery is wearing out... In the summer I think I saw up to 110...

    RavCharge, a solution to charge timer and entune woes

    Wow, this looks like a great resource. Nice job Joe. I just discovered this and I'm probably very late to the party ... reading my way through the 35 pages ;) I have a few questions: 1. Is this app still supported? Last post in the thread I see is from april '18. Is it planned to be supported...

    Owners: Would you recommend buying a used Rav4 EV?

    Many of us have bought it used and out of state. Many first purchases were 3 year leases which expired in 2017 so that brought a wave of new owners. Read this forum and in the facebook group to get yourself familiar with the car. Most of us love the car even with the additional care and...

    Tires

    I put in MICHELIN PREMIER LTX 225/65R17 102H BSW ALL SE from Costco about 4 months ago. So far they've been pretty good. Good traction, not much of a drop in the GOM that I could notice. I paid the heavenly price of $666 after all fees, taxes, etc. which is about the same price they have...

    plastic shield under motor loose

    Yes, happened to me. I noticed one time after the dealer returned the car to me (clearning a warning from letting the 12V die). I told the dealer the car wasn't like that when I left it here. After a bit of back and forth the rep said it was missing the standard toyota hooks and that they had...
