While searching today for new troubleshooting tips for my Leviton charger, I came across this thread, and realized two things: 1) I'm troubleshooting the same charger again, and 2) I never responded to let folks know the resolution of the original problem. I've since sold my Rav4 and purchased...

As you can imagine, I've been doing some additional research and it may not be all that bad after all. 220V connections use three wires: 1xGround 2xHot However, sometimes the thing being connected has both 220V and 110V components (such as a dryer or RV), so the 4 wire connection also includes...

I recently moved from Orange County to San Diego and the buyers of my old house didn't want my Leviton 40amp EVSE. When I bought my RAV4, I used the Toyota recommended process, electrician, and charger, and my EVSE was hardwired into my house's electrical system on its own 50amp curcuit. When...

Reviving this thread to ask a similar question... I've recently started a new job in the San Diego area and am commuting from Costa Mesa each day (about 80 miles door to door) until school lets out in June. There is a very conveniently located ChargePoint station about a five minute walk from...

If you're looking for an alternative to the Amazon ordered hitch installation, you might check out a neat company in Costa Mesa, CA called Hitch Crafters, that specializes in hitch installations. I had them install a hitch onto my Rav4EV this past Friday, and they did an excellent job. They...

I got a couple of charge failure emails from Entune this afternoon after I plugged my car into charge. I went out to check the car and the charger and found no charging lights lit on the car, and the charger with no lights showing either. I reset the emergency shutoff switch next to the...

All, Please remember to only post your map entry once. When you submit it one time (or 7 as happened today), I have to go in and delete each of the duplicates so the map doesn't get too cluttered. The user interface the mapping company provides is less than awesome, but the price is...

I have the Leviton 40a charger and have occasional problems with the scheduled charge completing as it's supposed to, but have not yet been able to nail down a pattern. Interestingly, before my car went in for the extended heater service call (3 weeks) I did not have any problems. When I had...

Hoping to be there, but may not be able to make it.

Thanks for posting. I've approved the pending submissions. I don't get email notifications from the map software and don't always get in there to check. If anyone wants to help me admin the map, I'd be happy to provide the instructions and the password to a few folks.

I use the tapatalk app on my mobile devices to access the TeslaMotorsClub forum, which provides a much nicer experience that using that forum (and this one) from a mobile device. However, I can't get that app (or another called ForumRunner) to work with site. Has anyone found one that works...

Welcome (back) to the party. Thanks for posting. If you haven't yet, don't forget to post yourself on the map. More info here: http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64 -Chris

I was driving to work the other day and dropped the car into B mode not long after turning it on and got the message below in the right-hand dash area: "Regenerative Braking May Be Limited. Vehicle Deceleration When Coasting May Be Reduced." The morning was fairly cold, in the low 50s and...

Looks like we've got 16 people registered on the map now, with the furthest away being Seattle & Denver. Keep 'em coming. -Chris

The ProClip mount finally arrived today, and I was able to quickly mount it in my car exactly as described in the instructions. I snapped some quick shots tonight, which I plan to re-shoot in the daylight with a better camera than my iPhone in the next couple of days. This is item No 853831...

Start and end points are both near sea level, and close enough that we can consider them equivalent. I think I also got pegged on going 75 in the first 10-15 minutes of the return trip as a lot of that was up hill on the freeway. I noticed a much faster depletion of the extended range buffer...

Picked up my car today. Here's the relevant part of the repair bill: Looks like they replaced the heater and the DC/DC converter. Not entirely sure what that is, but that's what's on the bill. Glad that the warranty covered all of that and am feeling a little better about purchasing the...

I have family in town for the holidays and we had been kicking around ideas for a day trip somewhere, and today decided to head south to San Diego to beat the rain forecasted for Saturday. I'm still kicking around in my local dealership's rental Rav4 EV, but am planning to pick mine back up...

I thought I read something last year about companies experimenting with inductive charging solutions for EVs similar to what your electric toothbrush uses. I think there may be technical challenges with the system, but it could be fun. At least until the neighborhood cat decides to take a...

I got a call from the dealer last night that my car has been fixed and the "heater is operating as designed". My service rep repeated this particular line a couple of times, which I find interesting. He said there was about $8k in warranty work done on the vehicle, replacing the main heating...
