At the very least, your dealer should be able to hook up their Toyota/Tesla scan tool and see what trouble codes are in the ECU. Typically, when you get the Check EV System . . . message on the I/P, there should be a DTC to go with it.

If you can't clear this error message from the I/P display, I think that warrants another trip to your dealer. Is it even driveable at this point??? I had the recall/update several months ago and have not had any re-occurence of this problem. However, it did not even before I had the update...

My 2012 RAV EV (purchased new in November 2012) had a complete and total electrical failure last January due to my car's 12V battery inexplicably discharging to a very low level (even while actually driving the car). I was monitoring the voltage while driving with a DCV digital readout device...

Correct. I just had the recall on my 2012 RAV4 EV completed at Piercey Toyota in Milpitas, CA. Only took about 1/2 a day to get done (no loaner). I now have "three" separate Tesla ECM firmware update calibration ID stickers under my hood; 1.3.76, 1.3.83 and now 1.3.101 and probably skipped a...

Disappointing to be sure, but we still got free WattBoxes and avoided the hefty costs of the utilities charging plenty to install "their" own secondary (sub)meters and related infrastructure modifications to our homes. This could have potentially saved each pilot participant thousands of...

Within the existing pilot, will there be a way to "upgrade" from a WattBox to JuiceBox (after UL completed), or after starting out with the former, we must continue using the WB for the duration of the pilot? I haven't heard of another independent, submetering pilot program where there still...

A lot of JESLA fans here, but I am partial to the JuiceBox. I think there have been 3000 units sold world wide and climbing. The premium product can be set to the appropriate output current you desire, while using a free Android cell phone app. The only issue with the JB (up till now, as...

Yes, separate in the form of two "blue" bills, and sometimes not for the same statement period. My last EV-B for the submeter bill was one month behind. You will get one bill for your submeter on the EV-B rate, and the other for the rest of the household on whatever other rate plan you have...

Keep in mind those of us enrolled in the pilot can "drop out" after 3 consecutive months, change to any other rate plan, keep the soon to be UL approved JuiceBox AND all the associated rebates. Of course, "if" the UL approved JB continues to be held up for a longer period of time, presumably so...

Since most of us on the PEV submetering pilot's EV-B rate plan have only just begun, it is probably too soon to say how much electricity cost can be saved. One thing I found out from PG&E this past week is that the so-called "meter charge" is REAL and will not be waived for pilot participants...

There a couple of Electricians that eMW can recommend to you serving the SF Bay Area, and don't forget they will cover the cost of installation up to $100. I had one of their Electricians come to my home to certify my WB install I did myself, as I have experience doing AC electrical work.

Anyone still interested ought to get a movin because the deadline to apply for the pilot is the end of THIS month!

Absolutely dumbfounding!

How could we? Nobody, at least as far as I know, has taken delivery yet of any "UL approved" JuiceBoxes, which is what the submetering pilot rebates were for. Alternative WattBoxes were "free", so there should not be any rebates for those.

Still waiting too and because UL is such monopolist safety agency, we have to wait till Hell freezes over! I'm so glad I got a WB as an alternative to use while this neverending wait continues.

My first submetered bill from PG&E imposed a "meter charge" of ~5 cents per day. Not significant, but still unwarranted. I called this past week but got the usual runaround and I'm still waiting for some who knows about this pilot program to call me back.

Basically, if your car won't charge, it is worthless and analogous to an ICE that won't start. That should be pretty high on the list of "under warranty" repairs and warrant (no pun intended) a FREE rental car. Is the reason you took it back to Stevens Creek Toyota, because that is the...

Mine works fine and for the price ($395 including shipping) paid it more than meets expectations. I got the latest version, with the built-in LCD. I believe there was an older model with no LCD originally. The enclosure is made of metal and seems durable and suitable for outdoor use (although...

Each to their own. I guess one man's oasis is another man's desert. I had no such unpleasant experience. The only drawback of EVI's unit is that is NOT UL approved. It is "CE" marked, however. I believe it to be an entirely safe design nevertheless and of good quality construction. It...

Have you applied with your WattBox for pilot enrollment with Ohmconnect?
