The Toyota RAV4 EV is an all-electric version of the popular RAV4 SUV produced by Toyota until 2014. Two generations of the EV model were sold in California, and to fleets elsewhere in the US, with a gap of almost ten years between them.
The first generation was leased from 1997 to 2003, and at the lessees' request, many units were sold after the vehicle was discontinued. A total of 1,484 were leased and/or sold in California to meet the state's mandate for zero-emissions vehicle. A small number were sold or leased in fleet sales in other states. As of mid-2012, there were almost 500 vehicles still in use in California. Production of the second generation EV was limited to 2,600 units during a three-year run, with sales limited to California beginning in 2012. Production ended in September 2014. A total of 2,489 units of the second generation model were sold in California through April 2015.Toyota worked together with Tesla Motors and Panasonic to develop the second generation RAV4 EV, and the electric SUV was released in the United States in September 2012. The US Environmental Protection Agency rated the second generation RAV4 EV with a range of 103 mi (166 km) and a combined fuel economy rating of 76 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (3.1 L/100 km).

    Possibly returning ZS EV owner :)

    Hi I bought a new ZS EV back in April 2022, owned it for 4 months and then some guy decided to total it by reversing into it at full throttle (Mustang V8 5.0 so quite quickly got to 35mph, which smashed the front in and pushed the car into another car behind it, smashing up the rear as well)...

    Things learnt so far on our Spanish adventure

    The thing about owning an EV is that you learn fast and most via the hard way ! People who don't own EVs waffle on about range anxiety. However this is not the issue at all, it is charger anxiety ! Perhaps not where we live in SW France where there are many EV charging points where we have not...

    Honda + Nissan

    Watched the latest Electrifying video on Youtube, apparently there's a 'rumour' that Honda and Nissan are going to merge. Neither company doing very well at the moment and both well behind the time with their EV range. Could this be the start of the 'World Auto Manufacturing Conglomerate'? A bit...

    Do I really need an 'proper' EV charger?

    I've had my MG5 for 2 weeks now and have been charging it from the 'granny' charger. I could install a proper Type 2 charger but it's going to cost around £1000. I can charge the car to 50% overnight with the granny (it delivers 2.2 kW). 50% of charge per day (~100 miles) is more than enough for...

I am curious whether this...
