This question is for everyone, but I suspect that -Phil- has the most insight.
Many moons ago, my wife and I moved our ownership from a pair of legacy Rav4EVs to a pair of "contemporary" versions, which are powered by Tesla batteries and drive systems. Most people don't notice the EV badges or the rather-large "Electric" badge on the doors and fewer notice the user-added vinyl sticker (Powered by Tesla) on the rear door. We drive invisible EVs. Pretty darn quiet too. The driveway is now occupied by nearly identical 2013 silver eSUVs. Her foot is heavier, so her range is approximately twenty percent less than mine, but far superior to the long-gone-frequently-overheated NiMH legacy versions. The legacy Rav4EVs had a bit of genius tech known as the Rav4Info, running on a Palm device and connected to the OBDII port. Great information was gained by the display and is missed, as it is now supplanted by a bare minimum of dash gauge displays. As is "normal" for today's EVs, there appear to be no OBDII practical devices for keeping a closer eye on the systems. The curious thing about these vehicles is the second "OBDII" port in the luggage bay. From my understanding, it's a Tesla data port, while the underdash connection is for Toyota. Are there consumer-level readers with which one can access information from either (or both) ports? I'd love to see something as simple as current draw, state of charge, voltage levels, etc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
