Several months ago the dealer replaced the onboard charger and the GOM hasn't been the same since. Previously when the dealer replaced the motor the GOM slowly returned to normal after a week or so of driving. But after the onboard charger replacement the difference in the GOM reading with A/C...

The clamp meter was a great idea. Turns out it was overheating, likely due to the connection not being tight. I replaced the safety switch and it has been working fine since, thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the tips. I checked the connections in the circuit breaker panel and the electrical safety box/switch and they are all nice and tight. The fuse that is blowing is the replaceable one in the electrical safety box/switch, not the circuit breaker in the electrical panel. After...

I have a Leviton 40A charging station connected thru an electrical safety box with 50A fuses. For 4 years it has worked fine, but now the fuses in the safety box are blowing roughly every 3-4 weeks. Any thoughts on what could be causing it? Charging station going bad?

My employer is planning to install charging stations and asked for inputs to their policy for using them. Does anyone have examples of policies that have worked well?

There's a lot to be said for not touching something that works. Just to be clear regarding the title of this thread and the EV System warning, the EV System warning is like a check engine light and will come on for numerous issues besides that involving the recall. I recently had the EV...

The "hum" in my vehicle really started to become noticeable at 10,000 miles. At 20,000 miles I finally got the motor replaced. Got it back earlier this week and what a difference! It's very quiet at freeway speeds now. Fortunately it was under warranty, it's still a great vehicle and I have...

I had the same problem when using a Chargepoint station near work. In the morning I would plug it in and the car accurately displayed the outside temperature, low 60's. When I went to pick it up at lunch time the outside temperature would be anywhere from mid-70's to high 80's and the car was...

They can't sell too many as they need the parts to fix existing EVs based on the long wait times people seem to be reporting!

Who had serial number 1043? I saw it advertised by AutoNation Toyota Cerritos for $50,870 with 15,000 miles on it! :o http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-RAV4-EV-FWD-4dr-FACTORY-CERTIFIED-2012-TOYOTA-RAV4-EV-FWD-4dr-/111247018594?forcerrptr=true&hash=item19e6d6ca62&item=111247018594&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

I recently started my EV and saw LO on my GOM despite recently charging it. As I sat there contemplating what this meant the range very slowly started to increase. By the time I got my cell phone out to take a picture it was up to 13 in the photo below. The range kept going up, but very...

I spotted a first generation RAV4 EV charging next to me. Pretty neat seeing two generations charging.

I was out doing Christmas shopping Saturday and spotted a Toyota fuel cell vehicle, photo below. A few months ago the GM advanced technology group in Torrance had a bunch of their fuel cell vehicles, which they had been using for a while, gathered in the parking lot. They disappeared a few...

This is a very interesting document, thanks for posting the link.

I brought this up with the inspector and he agreed the disconnect switch was not required. Stated that since my inspection he had gone to a training seminar on EVSE's and passed the info along in their office. I should have brought this issue to the forum earlier, when the inspector gave me...
