Thanks! I hope the newer HPWCs look alot different than the previous generation. Hopefully they'll include pictures of or how to identify which destination chargers/hpwcs to avoid for the other EVs.

Browsing reddit, it looks like the adapter that allows J1772 plug folks to use Tesla Destination chargers is available now :-D http://shop.quickchargepower.com/JDapter-Stub-Tesla-Charge-Station-Adaptor-JDPTRSTB.htm Out of curiosity - I wonder why there is this note: "NOTE 6: It is not...

Greetings All, In the event one were to install a JDemo him/herself - is it fairly straight forward on removing the unit? Assuming it took someone 4 hours to install one, how long would it take to remove it? After removing it, would there be any indications the Rav4 EV had a Jdemo...

Whats his E-mail address? Thanks,

Thanks! Any estimate on when this will take place? In the event I purchase a Rav4 EV from California, it would be easier to have it shipped to your location then shipped to me ;-) With the dimensions of the modules being 42.5" x 18" x 8" - would it be possible to install three packs (one in...

Drivetrain failure is a big sticking point for me when considering purchasing a Rav EV. Would there be a guide on what it takes to swap out drive train online somewhere? Is it a particular model S drivetrain that is a direct swap? No need to update anything in the software? thanks!

I'm somewhat in the same boat as you ;-) Same Here :-), Though we haven't had an opportunity to test drive one yet... I would go for the one that can offer your either a New Toyota Platinum 8 year/125K mile warranty, or the Used Toyota Platinum 5 year/60K mile warranty. Don't opt for the...

Greetings All, Thinking about a 2014 (with less than 36K miles) just so I can get the 8 year Platinum warranty. However, I have noticed the vast majority of them on the current market seem to have been purchased before 04/10/2014 or before...if going strictly by the must be purchased within 3...

Greetings All, It seems as long as your motor/drive train doesn't start failing (making noises) by 20K miles - It normally lasts 60-90K+ miles before it start showing signs it needs to be replaced? Thank you for everyone's contribution to this forum!

Would installation be limited to California based Rav4 EVs?

Greetings All, I was curious if anyone would know why Toyota decided to electrify the Rav4 over something similar that starts at a higher price point like the Lexus RX350? Granted the Lexus would have been heavier, but at the base starting price was almost double the Rav4 at that time? It...

Greetings All, Were there any differences between the three years the Rav4 EV was in production? There is a 2012 in my state with 16,500 miles. Though the mileage is low, I am concerned that since it was one of the first off the production line, it may have more production flaws/less robust...

Greetings All, Still contemplating purchasing a Rav4EV in Florida...should something happen, getting it repaired is the sticking point... Are there EV repair shops in South Florida that can work on the Rav4EV?

Greetings All, So it seems those two Rav4Evs aren't going anywhere fast, they are still available -- the 2012 one with 16K? miles asking for 16K, the 2013 one with 39K miles for 14.5K...the 2013 one was in an accident according to carfax... We settled on a pre owned BMW i3...have to say its...

Greetings All, The wife and I are considering purchasing a Rav4 EV :-D However, after reading the forums - it seems there are quite a few (expensive) items that breakdown more readily than it should - the most common thing it seems is the heater core that may also take out the DC-DC -...
