Re: [EVDL] Why Toyota Isn't Rushing to Sell You an Electric

Toyota is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (as well as other stock exchanges): TM. I held that stock for a number of years until I decided I did not like their philosophy on EV’s. I owned a first generation 2002 RAV4-EV and loved that car (I removed the rear seats to make it into a

Re: [EVDL] Ford F-150 Reveal - Great for everyone!

I’ve had two EV’s like that. The first was my 1980 ComutaCar that I drove for 20 years. It held two people and a few bags of groceries, hit 38 mph on the flat for about 35 miles. It was a lightweight car, but I loved it. It was great in a city. It was not great on hills so when I moved to a

I have both a Tesla Model 3 and a Toyota RAV4-EV. I had an aftermarket CHAdeMO port added to the RAV so I could access higher speed charging. I have driven both of them on long distance trips (around 1000 miles RT) and the differences in charging experience are large. With the RAV, there is

Hi Lawrence, I am in a similar situation. I drive 4-5 times a year on a 1100 mile round trip between Northern California and Southern California. I drive my RAV4-EV with an aftermarket CHAdeMO port. It has an extended range of 125 miles. Even driving at 60 mph, I don’t seem to get more

[EVDL] Two EV's to Give Away

We are a four EV family now and that is two too many. We had arranged to donate them to several schools, but they never followed through to pick them up. Now it is time to move them on to new homes. We will give each of them away. Priority will be given to the earliest pickup. Our only

[EVDL] Two EV's to Donate

We are a four EV family now and that is two too many. We want to donate our two EV conversions (we also have a 2013 Rav4-EV and a 2002 Rav4-EV that are our main vehicles) to a non-profit organization (we would like the tax deduction). We would prefer to donate to a school or school(s) that
