    Thanks for doing the work, Todd. Could you check Calvin Mann's cell phone number. It is not correct. Thanks.

    Check EV System warning message

    Sorry to hear this. When this happened to me 2 days after purchase, both the propulsion unit and the cpu were replaced. Perhaps you should get it serviced before it happens again which most likely will occur.

    Check EV System warning message

    No, that depends if they have an EV expert there or not. Try Toyota Palo Alto.

    Cheapest RAV4 EV Toyota Extended Warranty

    When I called Dianne Whitmire to inquire the cost, she said that an extended warranty is not necessary for the RAV4 EV as all components are covered for 8 yrs/125K miles. I even asked her about ICE Rav 4 things, which are also included. It would be nice to have a written reference. If anyone...

    Ultra-fast charging batteries:70% recharged in 2 minutes

    Interesting! Amazing that applying nanotubes of titanium dioxide gel to the anode makes that much of a difference. :ugeek:

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    You may want to try Toyota Palo Alto. They replaced my drivetrain without any drama. Not only are the noise and vibrations gone, the car has never been this smooth. I always thought is was just the RAV4.

    Gap after Rav4EV and before Tesla Model 3

    My next car will be the Mini Electric Superleggera Vision. A bit impractical, but ever so fun. Shagedelic and minimalistic. ;) BMW, please produce this car and make the range comparable to the RAV4ev or better...

    ALL POSTS - motor whine or "HUM" (Milling Sound)

    I had no idea how common the propulsion units are being replaced with the model S. For the last 2 K miles, my car has been having a "revved" sensation that is most palpable by the foot on the accelerator, mostly experienced above 70 mph. It was subtle, but slightly bothersome. The "revved"...

    Rav4 EV owner funded CHAdeMO's, SBA to SJC

    For funding these stations, you may want to consider private charitable foundations that have a focus on the environment. Perhaps Packard Foundation, Doris Duke foundation, Kresge foundation. The latter has a clean freight initiative. Perhaps we can submit the grant as a group. Not much money...

    Do you live in NorCal and get an unlimited mileage lease?

    We have 2 leased with unlimited mileage, one from Magnussen Palo Alto and the other from Sunnyvale. They were the same price as the 15k. Perhaps your salesperson is not reading the fine print.

    Strange Charging Notification from Entune

    I normally program all my charging through RAVcharge, but it did not work last night. This is the first time that this happened. It seemed that the car's intrinsic timer kicked in so my car did charge. Since we have 2 RAV4EV's, I would like to program them so they don't charge at the same...

    RavCharge, a solution to charge timer and entune woes

    Great. I am interested in beta testing for you. I have had 2 days recently when the car did not charge even after flashing to confirm that the charger is correctly plugged in. Very disruptive for the workday.

    ALL POSTS about Charge Timer Failure

    Finished charging at 2:30 am which seems like a very big overestimation for a 6:50 am departure time. I previously saw a reference article on batteries but cannot find it now. Can anyone suggest an article? Technical is ok but not full of equations. Thanks. This forum is great! Learning a lot.

    ALL POSTS about Charge Timer Failure

    I use the 30 amp Aerovironment from the state. I never used the 120v. Initially, I thought it was just another overestimation because my GOM was pretty low. If this is recurrent, I think I will have to change my departure time to 8 when my GOM is low.

    ALL POSTS about Charge Timer Failure

    I thought the reason that my car started charging at 10 pm was the fact that I had 7 miles on the GOM, but I guess it was a malfunction. I unplugged it, then replugged it, then it started charging again at 10:20 pm and finished charging around 2:30 am. My departure time was set at 6:50 am.

    ALL POSTS-No Motor Power/Power Steering, turned off on road

    Since I was going 75 mph, the steering became slightly harder. If I were going slower, I would imagine that it would be a lot harder. The steering did not lock up. The brakes worked normally. I only used them to dodge other cars. I tried not to use them too much as I needed the momentum to...

    ALL POSTS-No Motor Power/Power Steering, turned off on road

    Actually, 4-- two days after our failure on the freeway, another forum member had the same happen while driving on El Camino-- also a car from Magnussen's, with about 750 miles on it. Like ours, the Tesla power system was found to be faulty and was replaced (our original also had a bad Gateway...
