    Brakes have a "Klunk" sound-Issue Resolved -Check Axle Bolts

    I noticed it too especially when I brake hard at first and let it off a bit at the end just right before complete stop...always wander why it does that.

    backup/reverse question

    I don't think it is a big issue with the noise as I noticed it sometimes not just on the RAV4 EV but a few other Toyota vehicles as well especially after a car wash or when the car hasn't been driven for a while because for some reason the brakes are a bit sticky at those conditions for the...

    90 mile round trip commute

    You should be fine. I am on normal charge with commute of almost 40 miles each way and still have plenty when I get home. If you use the extended charge, it will take about 5-6 hours with the 40 amp charger (fully charged but in your case will be faster because you only drive 90 miles). Even...

    ALL POSTS-No Motor Power/Power Steering, turned off on road

    I guess it is just a random failure and can happen with any car not just EVs. Love my RAV4 EV...it is not only practical but gets great mileage and fast for an SUV.

    Roof rack and running boards

    Madcow, I didn't like the OEM bodyside moldings/door protectors because they are way to wide and big, which actually looks a big ugly because it stands out a lot so I decided to go with the thin one, which Daytona Toyota (I don't see their post anymore but another dealership has the same part)...

    Roof rack and running boards

    Actually, I want to say the racks I got looks exactly like the OEM one and not plasticky at all. They are actually pretty strong and all aluminum. I guess it depends on who you buy it from as eBay just like auto part stores have different grades of items.

    Post Purchase CheckList/topics

    9- I am interested in accessories such as roof racks, running boards, etc. I know you cant get those from Toyota for the EV. Can you get the Rav4 gas accessories and just throw them on the EV or do I have to find aftermarket parts? What accessories have you purchased and how do you like them? I...

    Roof rack and running boards

    I have the running boards installed on my EV "WITHOUT" making any modifications to the brackets...they fit perfectly without touching the battery cover below your SUV. It is actually a pretty nice one...almost similar to the dealer installed ones on the X5 and MDX...
