The state of charge meter shows you how much charge is left in the battery pack. It replaces the gas gauge. An additional gauge shows the momentary draw on the battery. ??Several tiers of warnings tell you when you’re running low on battery power. ??Unlike some electric vehicles, this car has room for five passengers, plus cargo space in the back. The RAV4 EV has 24 factory sealed 12-volt rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries (recyclable) used to propel the car and an additional 12 -volt lead acid battery for accessories (heating, air conditioning, CD player and radio, etc.).

You charge it at night, at home, when the electric rates are at their lowest, approximately 10 cents per kwh. It takes six to seven hours to charge it fully. You can drive up to 100 miles on one charge which translates to a cost of about $3.00. The RAV4EV had an initial sales price of approximately $42,000 when sold new. What better way to play your part in promoting energy independence, reducing green house gases and never visiting a gas station again!
