This Toyota RAV4-EV is an original Electric Vehicle (EV) built by Toyota Motor Company. This is an official production vehicle and is not a hybrid, conversion vehicle or early prototype built by Toyota. There were a limited number of these vehicles built during the late nineties / early two thousands and only 300 or so of these sold to the public, making this a future collector's item. Battery pack in this vehicle is original and has been repaired back to full health by Battery M.D., Inc. Battery M.D. has over 20 years experience in the battery and electric vehicle field and is/was the official battery repair company for GM, Ford, Chrysler and Toyota’s electric vehicle programs. This vehicle has been fully inspected (using a 95+ point inspection test) and refurbished by Blue Sky Motors, Inc. to be fully functioning and meeting original manufacturer's specifications (except where noted). Blue Sky Motors' 95+ point inspection tests include but are not limited to the repair and inspection of vehicle fluids, brakes, tires, heat / air conditioning systems. Many items have been fully replaced or repaired. Blue Sky Motors has refurbished and sold over 100 on-highway electric vehicles. Below lists the specifics of this vehicle: Battery Type: NiMH (24 each 12-V Panasonic NiMH batteries for 288V nominal pack voltage). *Note: The Panasonic NiMH batteries are known for their long life with very little need for repairs (per independent tests by Southern California Edison, claiming > 100,000 miles life). Several RAV4-EV owners have also achieved greater than 100,000 miles in their own real world driving. http://www.evchargernews.com/miscfiles/sce-rav4ev-100k.pdf Range: Vehicle demonstrates an estimated 81.2 miles range (combination of freeway and city driving on level ground - test driven by a non-EV driver). Range test performed during summer time without any accessories running including HVAC and driving discharge test was stopped as soon as vehicle entered yellow zone on State-of-Charge gage (this is when Toyota manual advices stopping vehicle for long battery life). Over half of the range test included freeway speeds (65 MPH) and represents maximum real world range you can expect from these vehicles. Vehicle was fully topped up prior to range test. Ambient temperature during range test was 80 F (5/10) with 14 MPH winds. Range will be less during winter (cooler) months. * Note: actual range will vary based on temperature, driving habits, speed, elevation changes, use of HVAC, heated seats, accessories, length of stand after charge, battery age / mileage and frequency of full charging. Drive System: Permanent Magnet Motor (50 kW) with single speed reduction. AC drive with regenerative breaking. Front wheel drive. Performance: An estimated 0-50 MPH in 12.8 seconds, top speed governed to 78 MPH, freeway compatible. Acceleration: 0 – 60 MPH in 18 seconds. See DOE report for more details. http://avt.inel.gov/pdf/fsev/eva/toyrav98.pdf Comments / Disclosures: · Looks Amazing – very good shape!!

Does this include the off-board charger (Power Conditioning Station, PCS): Yes, the vehicle includes the MagnaCharge PCS charger which utilizes the Hughes “small paddle” Inductive charge paddle. The PCS requires a 208Vac -240Vac / 30A input. Will I be able to service my RAV4-EV by myself? This vehicle is a high voltage vehicle and requires special high voltage training and tools to repair. Service of vehicle by unauthorized service personnel can result in vehicle damage, damage to vehicle components, and injury. Therefore it is highly recommended that the auction winner live within 100 mile radius of a Toyota Authorized RAV4-EV repair facility for future support and service. See list below. How long will the traction battery last? Battery M.D. is the official battery reconditioning company used by Toyota Motor Sales in support of other existing Toyota RAV4-EVs. Battery M.D., Inc. repairs the on-board high voltage battery pack to achieve the highest range possible with the use of State-of-the-Art battery cycling equipment. SCE claims that the Panasonic NiMH batteries can provide over 10 years / 100,000 miles life per their tests. Note: Use of this vehicle in very hot climates such as Las Vegas or Phoenix is not recommended. NiMH technology can heat up in hot climates and takes too long to cool off prior to useage (charge or discharge). Where do I purchase new battery packs when the time is needed: Replacement reconditioned NiMH modules and packs are available from Authorized Toyota RAV4-EV repair facilities. Contact your local Toyota repair facility for pricing information. Are parts still available for this vehicle? Yes, there are some new parts and lots of lower cost (used parts) available for this vehicle. Contact your local Toyota repair facility for pricing information. Expected driving range and performance: Nickel Metal Hydride battery packs can provide between 80 to 90 miles range (under normal driving conditions). See above for actual range of this vehicle. Driving range is a function of many conditions including temperature and driving habits. If you need to drive more than 70 miles between charges on a daily basis, this is probably not the vehicle for you. Even though it may be able to drive further, for best life, Blue Sky motors recommends that daily commuting should be no more than 70 miles between charges for good reliability. The vehicle has a range gage and several bells and alarms that are very helpful to let you know when range is getting low. Driving should never exceed the Toyota battery range limit warning lights.
