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).

    Another run away ZS EV?!

    Just spotted this news report. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31258637/moment-ev-electric-traumatised-car-crash-car-driver/ Sounds like a case of user error? Coincidence that the first reaction again is "I'll never step in another EV car"?!

    Advice needed - used model

    Hi, Looking to buy a 2nd EV - this one for wife. Looks to me like the late 2021/2022 refresh is where I want to be looking. A 2022 long range seems like what we want, and many are Trophy spec. Those are between £16K and £20K based on miles/colours/location etc. Does this seem like the right...

    How does this particular hybrid system work?

    Having done 2.5k miles it seems to have no rhyme or reason to what we are running in at any given time. I can have my foot on the brake approaching a red light and the engine revs up. When driving at a constant speed on level ground, it is forever hunting for the right gear & in and out of EV.

    ZS EV - R134a?

    Hi, whilst having a general look under the bonnet I was surprised to see r134a stickers, since this has been banned in the uk since 1-Jan-17. A Quick Look at compressors on eBay for this model shows these also clearly marked R134a. What am I missing here?

    MG3 hybrid servicing cost and work done.

    We have two quotes now, but neither one mentions servicing the EV side of the car, has anyone else had a quote for that. The way I see it is the engine is an engine and can be serviced much cheaper elsewhere so why pay dealer rates.

    Your Next Car?

    So what will you trade up to after your MG3 Hybrid? Is it a transition step to full EV? Keeping it forever? Switching brands? I am leaning towards trading up to a 2025 MG ES5, full EV, which is based on the MG4 platform. Sticking with MG, I need a bit more room.
