I suspect that your drop in range on the new RAV4-EV is due to lower average temperatures lately in So CA. (I'm in Huntington Beach.) I was somewhat alarmed to see the same thing in our 2011 Leaf and Volt as Winter approached. Range came right back up in the late Spring the fo...

Hi, Don-- Indeed that was an evBones NiMH conversion, so a 1997, I believe, the very one which I traded to Richard Hatfield himself for his 2006 home-brew-plug-in Prius (with an added 10 kWh of aftermarket Lithiums) with which I am still quite happy. I'm glad to hear that the...

Richard, I agree with Gil--I have experienced the same problem of the connector failure in the +12 wire that feeds the pack fan. The test, as Gill states, is pushing a pin through the wire and then commanding the fan on with the tech 2., and measuring the voltage on the pin. O...

It was just a theory - one of my RAV4 EVs had an issue with main contactors, where sometimes the contactors will stay closed. Sometimes they will open. This may be due to external load that should not be there while the contactor is opening...I was not able to confirm this. I...
