Vehicle Detail
I'm selling my Gen1 RAV4 EV (electric vehicle) that I bought to convert to Lithium power and never got around to doing it. The car has a few dings, under 100k miles but needs a new battery pack. (the NiMH batteries were removed and repurposed for other vehicles). Depending on how you do it, it will cost $3000-$8,000 to get it running well with new batteries. Once it is running it has "white" carpool stickers so you can drive it by yourself in the carpool lane in CA and get priority access across the bridges during rush hours. The mini SUV size and ride height gives you a very safe feeling when driving and excellent visibility. Legal for use on all roadways (This is not an NEV)The good news is this is a factory built EV by Toyota in Japan, not some guy in his garage. The Electric motor, automatic transmission, electronics, and ride quality are amazing. There is also a really neat HVAC system. To learn more about this really cool EV google "EVNUT RAV4" or search Wikipedia where you can learn all about the features of this rare car.This Rav4 has been sitting for almost 3 years so it could use a good cleanup. I'll also include a wall mounted 240V "paddle charger" but you may not need it if you convert to Lithium and install an onboard charger. If you are thinking of converting a gas vehicle to an EV you are much better off starting with this vehicle, you get quality Toyota components and Power Steering, Power breaks, AC etc have all been taken car of. Just add a decent battery pack and you'll have a nice little electric SUV. Also, a lot of running RAV4 EV's that come up for sale have tired packs and will need need battery pack refurbishment or replacement. If you were planning on upgrading the battery pack anyway, this vehicle will most likely be better value.
