It's not that bad! I'm sure the mod will be fully reversible (especially since a lot of the Ravs out there are leased), and the law prevents any denial of warranty benefits unless it can be demonstrated that the mod was the cause for the damage. It will likely be pretty costly to add, though, since ChaDeMo inlets don't come cheap.davewill said:it will be a DIY, damn the warranty, kind of thing.
Perhaps not, but you can't deny it will be a hack, and that Toyota would give you the hairy eyeball if they knew about it, and you were trying to make a warranty claim on the battery.fooljoe said:It's not that bad!

If you have 3.3 kW OBC now the RAV4 will almost seem like a QC when supplied with 30+ amps. Along with the much better range I suspect you will like the RAV4 better.bernie82 said:My Leaf lease will be ending soon and I'm considering leasing a Rav4. Will the Rav4 have a quick charger that can be used at the same places where I do quick charging with my Leaf?
Except a Toyota engineer would know nothing at all about the battery. You'd need a Tesla engineer for that, and how's a Tesla engineer going to say with a straight face that their battery can't handle 1C when the same cells in the Model S can handle almost 2C when Supercharging? Of course, good luck getting a Tesla engineer up on the stand...TonyWilliams said:Could you successfully challenge Toyota? Maybe, but all they would need is a Toyota engineer sitting up their to say how the car was never designed for anything more than 29 amps (which, of course is total BS) and that 30 amps or greater could make the battery fail.
