    Should we sell our 2012 RAV4EV, almost 90k miles ?

    It depends on if you care about the money. If you need the money then yes. If you don’t, then run it into the ground. I love this car but I always tell people it’s a throw away car. I live outside of California and when they break, they are pretty much unfixable.

    SELL AS-IS OR FIX MY 2013 RAV4 EV? Needs battery

    It’s almost always the contactors that went bad. You can replace them but it takes some work. You have to drop the battery pack and open it. It’s been done many times though. Many diy people have done it. Replacing Toyota Rav4 EV Contactors PLUS UPDATE on Rav4 issues https://youtu.be/CXCN2a0QA5g

    Hello to the Remaining Rav4 EV Owners Out There

    Hey guys. Great car! I wish I still had one of mine. Seeing as how you guys are mentioning batteries, here is a video in which I tried to fit Tesla Model S batteries into the existing case.

    What are the towing capabilities with the Rav EV?

    Ive towed 3300lbs and it tows like its not even there. You need trailer brakes of course but handling, power, braking all were flawless.

    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    Lol. My wife is a big complainer. Don’t get her started on my Model X.... She didn’t want me to buy it in the first place and the nightmare of a time that I’ve head with Tesla has only made it worse.

    Car won't charge / Onboard Charger Failure

    That really sucks. They are so hard to get to. So much has to come out in order to get to the charger. Do you have a warranty? Sounds like you need to tow it to a dealer.

    Advice for use of platinum warranty (out of state)?

    haha welcome to the club! You talk about days and weeks as if they were long periods of time. There are members here who have waited months for replacement parts that were covered under warranty. You have to understand, Tesla and Toyota dont care about this car. They would probably prefer that...

    Value of a Rav4 EV roller?

    I have a dedicated parts car that I bought just in case my cars ever need anything. I currently have warranties on my 2 cars but I thought just in case. They havent needed anything, nothing! So I started to part it out on ebay. The big stuff sold fairly quickly but I still have 90% of a car...
