    Rav4 EV for sale, POST HERE ONLY

    I am trying to PM Amped Up, but he does not accept PM's. I am willing to transfer the lease, but it takes some effort. Lease is up in August of 2016.

    Tesla 70D vs 85D

    Yeah, I am selling my Rav4 to get a 70D also. I am getting a blue one with interior upgrade, grey next gen seats and carbon fiber trim. I am not getting the autopilot. Maybe wait and see how that pans out. I am not paying $2500 for distance cruise control. That does not seem worth it.

    Rav4 EV for sale, POST HERE ONLY

    They might. One problem is that there is a stop-sale for the car because of a recall that does not have a fix yet. Before taking the car out of state, you would want to make sure the recall is taken care of unless you know someone at a Toyota dealer that can get the software update whenever it...

    ALL POSTS - Heater Failed - Service Bulletin TSB 0111-14

    I just took my Rav4 to Toyota Santa Monica and they had it most of the day and said they could not find the problem with the heater. I actually think my heater has never worked in the year that I have had the vehicle. I am going back next Friday to try again. They don't seem to give out...

    Getting out of a Rav4EV Lease

    Thanks for the information. It just seems strange that I can purchase the car for $29,322 after only making $5856 in payments (I have been paying $488 for 12 months for the unlimited mileage lease). Like I said, why wouldn't someone that wanted to purchase the vehicle, just lease it for a...

    Getting out of a Rav4EV Lease

    I am interested in selling my Rav4EV in February of next year (after leasing it for 18 month). Does anyone have any experience getting out of a 36 month lease with Toyota on a Rav4EV? The questions I have are: 1) How do I ensure I am not liable for the lease payments after I transfer...

    Buying a Rav4 outside of CA

    In looking to sell a leased car, I was looking at the TFS website and it shows that I can buy my car for $30,664 after 11 months of ownership. I wonder if this is accurate? This seems like a way to buy the car and get all the Toyota and Federal incentives soon after purchase. Will sales tax...

    Commute Canoga Park to/from Palmdale...is it practical??

    I live in Palmdale and have made the trip from Palmdale to Burbank and back without charging twice. I drove at 60mph. My wife is a lead foot and drives from the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica to Palmdale with less than a full charge and makes it no problem. She drives between 75 and 80.

    Charging duration too long

    I was also using the Chargepoint app which indicated the charger was supplying 5.868 kW of power while the Toyota app indicated I had 3 hours 32 minutes remaining with a current. The 5.868 would indicate 28Amps at 208V which should be around the 18.7 miles according to Tony's chart. This is...

    Charging duration too long

    I have made this trip about 15 times from Palmdale to Santa Monica Mall (around 65 miles one way) and it usually takes me 3 hours to fully charge. This trip it took 5 1/2 hours to fully charge. So disregarding all the apps, its taken twice as long to charge. That is the real issue and even...

    Charging duration too long

    I was at the Santa Monica mall EVSE today and they now have a 3 hour time limit, which would have been fine, except my charge time seems to have doubled. My Entune app showed that I have a current range of 75 miles and four bars until full on extended charge with a time remaining of 3 hours 32...

    BC2BC-2015 Mexico 2 Canada, Sep 13-20, 2015

    So since the Rav4 has an EPA range over 100 miles, it will be competing with the Tesla and going on that route? That seems like a significant disadvantage. Maybe I just don't understand the rules clearly.

    Check EV System warning message

    Update to my last post. The warning message seems to have gone away and reading through the post, it looks like the dealers just reset the code, so I guess I will just see if it happens again.

    Check EV System warning message

    Just got the Check EV message. The SOS operator was no help. Connected me with towing who said they would only tow 14 miles for free. I was reading my Toyota care brochure to them and it said they would tow up to 100 miles. I am around 60 miles from the nearest Rav4 EV dealer. My local...

    Swapping Chevy Volt for RAV4 EV

    I also have a 2012 Volt and just bought a Rav4EV. The original plan was for me to drive the Rav and my wife to drive the Volt, but my wife really likes the Rav, so she drives that. I think they complement each other well. My 30 mile commute works well for the Volt and my wifes 50 mile commute...

    3rd Row Seats

    I think these should work without any problem and if you want extra safety, install the hitch. The problem is going to be finding the seats. If you build them from Toyota parts, they will be around $2000. I have sent inquiries to online junk yards, but have not heard back.
