    ALL POSTS - 12-volt battery replacement

    I replaced my Bosch AGM today with another one under warranty. It tested bad at Pep Boys and they gave me a new one. It had almost no capacity. For being such a great battery, it didn't last very long. I will continue to monitor the new battery to see if there is a phantom load draining it.

    ALL POSTS - 12-volt battery replacement

    I did what Tony said and replaced my original battery, that was almost 4 years old, with the Bosch AGM in February. I've been getting air bag error messages for the last few days so I checked the voltage when I got home and it read 9.6 volts. I charged it to 14.6 and disconnected the charger and...

    Any other Rav4ev owners make a Model 3 deposit?

    I signed up for one. I waited 3.5 hours in line from 10am to 1:30pm at Dublin, CA. The first person in line in Walnut Creek was there from 9:30am Wednesday morning and was interviewed on the radio. My friend/bicycling partner surprised me and also signed up. She likes my RAV4 EV. No hatchback...

    I may have made an idiotic assumption regarding 220V wiring.

    The 240V to my house is usually 238 but sometimes it's 250 (I glance at it often to see how my solar is doing). I guess there's an allowable range of voltage that PG&E can supply. When they up the voltage, they up the wattage on a resistive load.

    Time to Charge at less than 10kw?

    I agree! And the utility of the 2 vehicles also.

    Time to Charge at less than 10kw?

    For the bikes, the rear setbacks are folded forward, the rear well cover is removed and fork mounts are mounted on a 1"x6" board that sits on the lip partway down in the well. The seat on my bike almost touches the headliner and the chainring almost touches the floor. If you're taller than me...

    Time to Charge at less than 10kw?

    IMHO there is no comparison between a LEAF and a RAV4 EV. The rav goes about 120 miles at 70 mph and the leaf goes about 60 miles at 60 mph. The rav holds much more (2 road bikes standing) and is much more fun to drive. Very little battery degradation with the rav. BTW, like many on this forum...

    Toyota Entune Problem

    I tried a remote charge 3 times and it failed 3 times. I'm on hold with Toyota now and the person doesn't know what a RAV4 EV is. Luckily I very seldom need to use the entune remote feature. She just came back and asked what entune plan I have. Shouldn't she know? I told her it's whatever comes...

    LET'S BUILD THE CALIFORNIA WEST COAST ELECTRIC HIGHWAY

    Great letter! Could we make this a petition on all the EV forums and send it to the CEC? Also, is something missing from this sentence? "We should never be falling behind in any technology, but our state is woefully being other states and countries in this venture, including those that are...

    Trailer Hitch Installation

    I installed the replacement Reese hitch...Very easy when the holes line up. 65 foot pounds seemed overly tight with my torque wrench but that's what it called for so that's what I did. Also got the KUAT NV bike rack. Excellent quality! The rear door only clears the rack if the rack is pinned to...

    Mudguards

    I installed the genuine Toyota mud guards. One thing I didn't notice at first is that the screws that are used with the metal clips are smaller. The larger ones don't work with the clips. The flaps look good.

    Trailer Hitch Installation

    I have the same problem, the mounting bracket on the driver side is slightly bent and the holes don't line up. It was probably dropped during shipping. I wonder if I got your return? Anyway, my Kuat nv2 rack will arrive tomorrow and the replacement hitch should arrive on Friday.
