Anything new on mobile app access? I too would love an iOS app option. Thanks!

I also emailed OpenEVSE support on this issue, and Chris responded back with this very helpful info... The only thin wires you will use are the purple pilot wire and blue charge port transmitter. If you have WiFi you can send the blue right to the 3.3v output of the WiFi controller. All the...

A good friend gave me the charge cable from her HPWC after water got inside it and blew out the circuitry. She and her husband bought a new HPWC, and were kind enough to gift me their old charging cable. From what I can tell, this is the same cord that Tony Williams of QCCharge used to sell...

Not sure if a P3D was available or not, as I’m not planning for the performance version. The LR AWD is plenty spunky for me.

I was thrilled to learn recently that Tesla is doing overnight test drives with their cars. Today I picked up a M3 LR AWD, white on white, with FSD. Sadly, I have to give it back tomorrow morning though. Tonight’s commute home was easily the most fun I’ve had in a long time driving home. Got...

Not a video, but I found an article that looks like it's the same car... Tesla owner becomes first to push Model 3 to 100,000 miles, here's how it's doing - Electrek

My comments were on intended as an argument against EVs, but rather a commentary on my quest to find the right one for me and for my family. I purchased the Rav4EV in mid November and it has been a mostly positive experience. Forums like this one and MyRav4EV.com have been particularly helpful...

If you haven't checked out "The Big Picture" page published by the Boston Globe, you really should. The most recent collection of photos is of automobiles, and there were three EVs that made the cut. Many of the photos are cool, but photos 33 and 35 feature EVs that are unlike anything we've...

I've set up a wiki-map (like the one we have for Tesla Reservation holders) on which Rav4 EV owners can post their locations. I'll approve them as they come in. Here's how to add an entry for yourself (and your Rav4 EV): 1. Point your browser to: Rav4EVOwners 2. To add a marker, use the...

Here are some pics I took this morning.

Well, I took deliver of a Blizzard Pearl Rav4EV a week ago Sunday, 11/11. I'm very happy with my decision to get the black leather instead of keeping the cloth interior. It definately contrasts with a few things, but I think it still looks good, and will likely stand up to the test of time...

Excellent post and photos. I wasn't able to get that stuff working when I did my test drive. I put a deposit down on a white Rav4. Once Leviton completes the site eval and installation, I'll take delivery. I am having the dealer change out the cloth for black leather with grey stitching...

Relative to the EVSE, I noticed that when I was inspecting the EVSE that the 110 plug appears to be modular, and might be able to be swapped out for a 220v connection. Has anyone looked into this? Also, the folks at the dealership don't always have detailed or in-depth information. Has anyone...

This blog entry appeared in its original form here. I recently cancelled my Model S reservation (with sadness), and began a nearly Quixotic quest to find the EV that's right for me and my family. (You can read more about my cancellation in this thread if you're interested.) As part of this...

Today's little irony..... I did a google search of "Toyota Rav4EV Community" to try, once again, to find a cool community of folks like I've found here on TMC, but more focused on the Rav4EV. This thread came up as the 7th item in the search results. Gotta love TMC.
