While I was getting a 5000 miles service checkup today, my local dealer did a charging system update to my 2012 RAV4 EV, which I purchased back in November.
The update is known as:
ECU Software Update: Charging System Improvement
Applicability: 2012 RAV4 EV
Introduction: The EV Gateway Control ECU logic has been updated to improve vehicle operation and charging timer operation. Use the following procedure to reprogram the ECU.
.

.
Calibration Information: Previously ID: 1.3.37 New ID: 1.3.57
The technician's comments on the work order said, "Checked and found firmware update on Tesla ECU side. Performed Tesla ECU update and cleared codes."
Tonight, I will do a scheduled (normal) charge for completion by 7am tomorrow morning on Sunday (Mother's Day). I will park the car for the night and plug in around 7pm this evening in preparation for the scheduled charge. Then, I will be monitoring my Leviton 32A L2 EVSE charging station from that point on throughout the night to see what happens. Anyone also interested in monitoring this charge can click on the following link to "see what I see" on my PC home energy monitor, called "Enerati", which updates the graph at one minute intervals.
