I will add that not only is the Rav4 EV likely a higher failure rate (mostly due to all early production motor assemblies in a large percentage of the entire production run) but that it is also front wheel drive. That means it tends to light up the tires easily instead of loading the gearbox with accelerating the 4000 pound mass.
In addition, normally the torque is further reduced by default. In order to get near 300 foot pounds of torque, you have to physically push a "Sport" button. Which means it rarely is used by the entire fleet on a whole.
