Thanks for thoughts. No one was injured.....wife just felt really bad...knew I was totally bummed about this....Hope it is just body work to be fixed. We'll see. Do you guys know.....any changes to ability of out of staters getting cars....have CA dealers made it more difficult, or still...

My wife rear-ended someone in the RAV 4 EV. Was going about 20 to 30 mph....front hood and both front quarter panels are crunched, but I looked car over and no apparent damage to internals....as far as one can see....body damage is pretty extensive.....Body shop looking at it now....it still...

After this post, tried to go out and start again after leaving heaters on inside and car ON for 30 minutes. Car shut down, nothing would come up. Tried multiple times....then car came up with "Battery Temp. Low, Battery Warming" Alternating with Screen of Death EV System Failure: have...

Had temps around 3 deg. F last night... When turning on car, msg. says battery warming, power may be limited...... Left car on, plugged in, heater on at 75, waited and came back about 30 minutes later.....still says battery warming, power may be limited..... Should I A) Just leave it...

I'm one of the out of state gamblers. Only had the car 8 months, and 7,000 miles, but so far...zero issues. Also have 2012 Leaf and ICE cars. As others have said, the much larger range/battery of RAV 4 EV over LEAF is Key. It's not that you can go so much further. It's that you don't have to...

They did send a document saying you understand that it needs in event of powertrain failure would need to be serviced at "EV certified dealer" and that they do not recommend "home basing" it outside of U.S. It was one or two sentences on an otherwise length article that required your initials...

Bought mine never having seen one live. Read lots of reviews. Never test drove one. Did everything via email and Fed Ex. Shipped with Golden Key Express from San Diego. Have 2k miles on it. So far no issues. As others have said on this forum, if you have a Plug in Prius Toyota Dealer...

My (very limited) experience echoes what Tony said 2 posts above. My local Toyota dealer in Pennsylvania told me several times they can take care of the car. They only have one PIP tech in the entire Lancaster Toyota and he's the guy that will service my RAV 4 EV and did the state inspection...

May be a stupid question, but any problems with running rav 4 ev through car wash? Any issues with bottom blaster? Any one had any issues with this? Thanks.

Glad they got this fixed for you , Kohler. Toyota WILL grant MCO/MSO's at dealer request. Any Toyota dealer that thinks otherwise does not know. If you're buying out of state, you'll need the MCO/MSO...may be a good thing to get the dealer to acknowledge that they'll get you one up front.

Tony, Any issues with leaving the car fairly regulary at "full" (80% ) SOC. My wife drives the car only about 2 or 3 times a week and it sits "fully charged" (80% or regular mode) for a fair amount of time. We've actually never even done or needed the extended (true 100%) charge rate yet...

Credit where Credit is Due. Anyone on this forum up for designing a little "Tesla Inside" (along the Intel Inside) design logo and selling to us to stick on our bumpers?

I'd be interested in everyone's feedback/knowledge on things that can be done to decrease the gradual battery capacity loss. I know Nissan on LEAF sites states that running the battery from 20 to 80 to 20 to 80% SOC (etc. ) is ideal cycle. They also recommend letting the battery cool before...

My apologies: I did not intend to offend the CA constituency. I agree with all posts that Toyota's price is likely below cost and not sustainable. In fact, my point was precisely that Toyota has no interest in selling, probably any more than they are. This post started out, I believe, as to...

Number one reason Toyota is not selling more RAV 4 EV's: They limited sale to a state that has the most abysmal economic record in the nation. Limiting your sales to a state up to its eyeballs in debt and unemployment is not a strategy for success which belies the fact that Toyota does not...

Yes, Leviton chargers can be completely outside. I've charged my LEAF in a hurricane and some serious snow uneventfully. Personally, I'd just buy the 40 amp Leviton on line and have your local electrician install all....cheaper.

Have charged 8 times now since then with no issues. We'll see. Lancaster Toyota (Lancaster, PA) told me today that they have an EV-certified technician there. He did safety inspection on car today and also switched short pin fuse to delivery position so that my interior lights/keyless entry...

For what it's worth. Took my RAV 4 EV into the local Lancaster, PA Toyota dealer today for safety/"emission" exam and to fix the fact that dealer in San Diego forgot to pull short pin so that interior lights/keyless entry/etc. work. They told me they have one technician in Lancaster, PA who is...

Yeah, I am about 50 miles from the Philly Tesla store. Have charged 4 times on Leviton since then with no problems. It was raining outside then...and the car parked outside.. with Leviton inside but cord coming outside to outside car...Would that matter?

Yup, that's where I got it. Thanks for the names...maybe my guys at Lancaster Toyota can talk to Justin York.
