At least you guys have a chance at a sighting ! I'm on the East Coast in Red Bank,New Jersey ! The lone wolf ! People don't even know what I'm driving here. It doesn't stick out, like a Tesla

I can totally relate to that neighbor! Glad to see I'm not the only one in New Jersey now.

We parked our new silver RAV in the handicapped charging spot in the Keller St garage in Petaluma yesterday afternoon. They have two chargers there and the other one was in use by a silver RAV. The EV space next to it was empty (no ICE'ing even though the lot was heavily used). When we came back after dinner and a movie there was a Tesla Model S charging and a blue RAV in the spot next to it waiting. It was nice to get a boost for our trip back to Occidental, otherwise it would have been close. We are often leaving only partially full since we are using the 120 volt cord to charge at home right now. We don't usually drive that much, but lately we have had a bunch of longish trips all bunched together during the week, so the RAV doesn't have time to get full. It must be that new car thrill. 
I use our 2002 RAV4-EV for most of my driving and we use the new one for trips together.

Well, this is a first: Saw a white Rav4EV on the Tustin Ranch Rd overpass to the I5, and then 5 min later, saw a different white Rav4EV on I5 southbound exiting the Hwy133. Mine is also white. Both were much cleaner and shinier than mine however . Great to see more on the road like that!

1st post here...
Occ,
Noticed you on my left in my peripheral vision as I was about to exit the 133. Figured it wasn't a prudent act to rubber neck and wave hi. See you 'round town.

I'm doing my MBA at USC and in our group of 75 we have two Rav4EVs, two LEAFs and three TESLAS. Certainly a bit ahead of the curve compared to the general population, but 9% of our group has a BEV. Its great to see all these cars in the parking lot.

Saw a silver (?) one at the Santa Clara Valley Water District office (http://www.plugshare.com/?location=7989) on Saturday evening. It had no plates yet and the owner wasn't there.
I'd seen another Rav4 EV charging there maybe a month or two ago. IIRC the owner came bike on his bike. I think I might've been talking to the owner of a Fit EV (only comes in blue) that showed to charge up when the Rav4 EV owner returned.

Whoever you are I just drove along side you in my RAV down Camino Ruiz in Mira Mesa tonight...
That's me, but my brother may have been driving it at 7pm-ish.

Just wondering if this person is on the forum. I commute down 101 south Petaluma to San Francisco, and I have see a Shoreline Blue as well going south. Just wanted to say hello and maybe here about you commute, to and from range etc. I am always a little sad when I see you drive by on the carpool lane with you stickers. I have not gotten min yet so I have to slow boat it with all the other cars. Hopefully getting mine this week or next from the dealer in this new plan they have to get stickers ahead of time for buyers of electrics.

Possibly it was my Shoreline Blue RAV4 EV. I pass by there about once a week.

It was today around noon, with your wife and kids who gave me a thumbs up??

In that case, it wasn't my RAV4 EV. I passed by there on Saturday, not today. Would had given a thumbs-up also, if I had seen you. So far I have only seen one RAV4 EV in Irvine, a Blizzard Pearl, driving on Culver near Bryan about 3 weeks ago.
