Ron Freund, past Chairman of the Electric Auto Association, took a survey of 116 RAV4 -EV owners to see how they liked driving a battery electric vehicle (BEV) in general, and in specific, how their experience with the RAV4-EV has been. This is a great reference for anyone interested in how a BEV performs in the real-world. Some of his conclusions are:

Users frequently commented that the RAV4 has been the best car they ever owned
The RAV4-EV dependability is remarkable
The technology is working, no more research is needed
It is a tragedy that the choice for BEVs does not exist in the market today

RAV4-EV’s are great cars. However, they are don’t come up for sale very often. If your are interested in buying one, the best thing to do is to save a search in eBay for it.

I’ve always wanted to own a RAV4. The design is sleek and functional. It’s indeed a remarkable car.
