Hi all, Is anyone able to share a final wiring diagram and parts list? I bought the OVMS and am now looking to make the connector. Also, if anyone wants to sell their homemade connectors on eBay or direct through PayPal, I would be interested. I'm a little surprised QC Charge haven't started...

My 2013 is still going at 120K miles, but will live an isolated remainder of it's life, being driven in the Welsh countryside. I use it only for the four weeks a year I spend in the UK. Based on my difficult import experience, I'm fairly sure it's the only one in the UK. Ultimately, I'm looking...

PM me if you still need help resetting the "check ev" codes.

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I last logged in. This post is to update you all on the situation with my RAV4 EV import into the UK, but it should be equally representative of EU imports as well. The UK Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) are still refusing to register the...

Yes, I use it regularly without problems - it's posted max charge rate is 65 kW

That's the same model which is in UCSD's Osler lane car park.

I'm trying to organize exporting my RAV4 EV back to the UK, and have hit a hurdle on the Individual Vehicle Approval form. Apparently, all EVs being imported into Europe require proof of compliance with ECE Regulation 100.01, which is designed to assure electrical safety. Has anyone had any...

This is the one I buy through Amazon's "subscribe and save" service: FRAM CF10285 Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CEG90I?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I think the drive unit is plausible, because I remember having power steering warnings and Check EV warnings (switching back and forth) when my drive unit failed while on the freeway a month or two ago.

So, I got the car back on Monday. Amazingly, with Toyota paying my rental car, they managed to get the motor swapped out in under three weeks! My first motor swap was three months. The failure cause was cited as water in the motor, but in discussing with Tony, it had to be an internal coolant...

So today I received confirmation that the rental car is covered 100% by the post-repair warranty, even if it takes 2+ months to get the replacement motor. Now, I'm awaiting coverage of my fuel costs, which so far, has amounted to an expense of approximately $75 a week out of pocket. At a...

Waiting till Monday now, as the service manager is ill and off-work. I don't believe they've even contacted corporate yet, so I could be waiting even longer to get an answer on the rental car. The way I see the situation is that I do not have a vehicle because the motor they replaced six months...

No warning other than a Check EV warning light come on three days prior to the failure. When the failure occurred, there were no sounds or vibrations. Most probable cause is the electronic circuit board within the unit, possibly corrosion? Today I had a call from Toyota Carlsbad telling me...

So after having my motor replaced six months ago, it's now completely failed and will be stuck at Toyota Carlsbad for a few months, while another motor is sourced. Not happy! :x

I might be next for a battery swap too. I'm at 97K mileage, and the car lost all power on the freeway yesterday. After I pulled over, it would only go into neutral or park. Had both the Check EV warning and power steering warnings come up on the display. It's now at Carlsbad, awaiting...

Tony, been meaning to come by but wasn't sure if you had the software update ready for the 50+ KW stations. I posted the Toyota and Denso part numbers on the other navigation unit thread. Please can someone post the generation number of the navigation unit, if they know it?

I'm highly skeptical that this navigation data applies to our generation, partly because the update is by CD, and partly because the picture shows an older model navigation unit. There are other sites where you can purchase the latest nav data, but you need to know the Generation number (1-8)...

For everyone with faulty navigation units, there is now an aftermarket seller making the units available at a decent price ($650). eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-2013-2014-TOYOTA-RAV4-RAV-4-OEM-GPS-NAVIGATION-SYSTEM-86100-0R033/253272225739?hash=item3af83377cb:g:2psAAOSwjKFZP4KJ

I'm keeping mine and running it into the ground. Currently at 90K mileage.

I would make sure you get one with a rebuilt motor. I will be exporting mine back to the UK next year. My two concerns are: 1. Being able to access the Tesla codes, because to access them you need a special data cable. 2. Having DC-DC converter and cabin heater parts on hand. I'm assuming...
