Vehicle description

About this vehicle This is the original all-electric vehicle. One of 1,484 made for California, I purchased this one from the City of San Francisco. 28,682 original miles. Includes a custom lift to remove the battery pack and a charger with a new paddle. The battery pack will need reconditioning or this vehicle would make a great start for your electric car project. Seller"s Notes Once the battery pack was brought back to life I commuted 25 miles round-trip with range increasing daily. Estimated range could be as high as 60-80 miles. Included is the original charger which will need a 240v outlet (the same as an electric dryer). Videos (click on the image below for a walk around of this amazing EV)
[isdntekvideo] Want to know more? The first fleet version of the RAV4 EV became available on a limited basis in 1997. In 2001 it was possible for businesses, cities or utilities to lease one or two of these cars. Toyota then actually sold or leased 328 RAV4 EVs to the general public in 2003, at which time the program was terminated despite waiting lists of prospective customers. The RAV4 EV closely resembles the regular internal combustion engine (ICE) version - without a tailpipe - and has a governed top speed of 78 mph (~126 km/h) with an EPA rated range of 95 mi (153 km). [12] The 95 amp-hour NiMH battery pack has a capacity of 27 kWh , charges inductively and has proven to be very durable. Some RAV4 EVs have been driven more than 150,000 miles (240,000 km) using the original battery pack. It was also one of the few vehicles with a single speed gearbox when introduced to the market. Beyond the unusual power train (batteries, controller and motor), the remaining systems in the RAV4 EV are comparable to the gasoline-powered RAV4. The power brakes , power steering , tire wear and suspension components are similar except that they use electric power sources. The power brakes use an electric pump to provide vacuum instead of deriving vacuum from the engine manifold. The power steering use an electric motor instead of mechanical energy delivered by fan belts. The passenger compartment is heated and cooled electrically using a heat pump (the first fleet application of a heat pump in a road vehicle) with supplemental electrical resistance heating as backup. Performance The RAV4 EV production has a governed top speed of 137 km/h (85 mph), a tested 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of around 18 seconds (depending on state-of-charge on the batteries). [ citation needed ] Its EPA rated driving range is 95 miles (153 km) with an EPA combined fuel economy rating of 43 kW·h/100 mi (equivalent to 78 MPGe ). [12] Actual fuel economy and range depends on the same factors as a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle including rolling resistance and average speed ( aerodynamic drag ). The RAV4 EV battery pack uses 24 12-volt, 95Ah NiMH batteries capable of storing 27 kWh of energy. Charging The RAV4 EV"s batteries can be recharged from being fully depleted to fully charged in about five hours, and are monitored with a passive battery balancing system. Electricity is supplied via a Magne Charge inductive charging paddle [14] from a wall-mounted 6000-Watt charging unit on a 240 volt, 30 amp, North American "clothes dryer"-type plug. Some earlier RAV4 EV prototypes were charged via a front fender conductive charger coupling made by Yazaki Corporation. Mileage costs Charging a RAV4 EV from full-dead to full-charge uses approximately 30 kW·h of electricity; the excess above the battery pack capacity is used by the charging system. At a rate of US$0.09 per kilowatt-hour, this costs around US$2.70 . As of May 2008, based on a gasoline price-per-gallon cost of US$3.80 and up and the non-EV 2003 RAV4 2-wheel-drive gasoline fuel efficiency of 27 mpg ‑US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg ‑imp ), the RAV4 EV costs approximately 20% as much on a per mile basis, and makes mileage in the RAV4 EV the cost equivalent to a 111.1 mpg ‑US (2.117 L/100 km; 133.4 mpg ‑imp ) small SUV. In addition, the RAV4 EV has a charge timer built into the dashboard that enables the vehicle to start charging at a specific time. As the RAV4 EV easily becomes the main cost of electricity in an average-sized home, this enables the owner to use a Time-Of-Day Meter to reduce electricity costs. This configuration is a standard practice with RAV4 EV owners. The price of electricity at night depends on the carrier, but is usually in the range of 60% of the normal rate. In the use of charging the RAV4 EV, this equates to a cheaper cost-per-mile, roughly equivalent to a vehicle capable of 166.6 mpg ‑US (1.412 L/100 km; 200.1 mpg ‑imp ), based on a price of US$3.00 per gallon. The United States Environmental Protection Agency listed mileage ratings for the RAV4 EV in its yearly Fuel Economy Guide from 2000 through 2003. The 2003 model recorded fuel efficiency of 39 kW·h/100 mi city, 49 kW·h/100 mi highway; the city mileage rating was equivalent to 125 mpg ‑US (1.88 L/100 km; 150 mpg ‑imp ), and 100 mpg ‑US (2.4 L/100 km; 120 mpg ‑imp ) on the highway. [15] The EPA rated combined mileage was 112 mpg ‑US (2.10 L/100 km; 135 mpg ‑imp ). In 2007, the EPA updated its rating system and revised the ratings to a city equivalent of 87 mpg ‑US (2.7 L/100 km; 104 mpg ‑imp ), highway equivalent of 69 mpg ‑US (3.4 L/100 km; 83 mpg ‑imp ), and a combined equivalent of 78 mpg ‑US (3.0 L/100 km; 94 mpg ‑imp ). [12] Consumable items The RAV4 EV"s battery system is a consumable item. Toyota reports that battery pack replacement costs are currently higher than the value of the used vehicle. [16] Toyota tested the RAV4 EV in Japan for 300,000 miles (480,000 km) over two years before introducing the vehicle in the United States. The economies of scale are affecting the replacement cost of the RAV4 EV Public availability Rear view of one of the 328 RAV4 EVs available to the public. In March 2002, due to a shift in corporate policy, the Toyota RAV4-EV was made available for sale to the general public. All 328 that Toyota made were sold. No one knows for certain what prompted Toyota to change their position on the RAV4-EV, since they had long since fulfilled their obligations under the MOA with the California Air Resources Board"s zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate via its fleet lease program. The MSRP was US$42,000 ; but in California, ZIP-grant rebates of US$9,000 , decreasing in 2003 to US$5,000 , and a US$4,000 credit from the Internal Revenue Service brought the price down to a more palatable US$29,000 ( US$33,000 for some 2003 deliveries), including the home charger. [17] More RAV4-EVs were sold than had been planned for manufacture through standard assembly line techniques. Toyota filled every order despite the fact that the last few dozen vehicles had to be assembled from spare parts due to a shortfall of production components (a significantly more expensive way of building a vehicle). This unexpected development caused deliveries to trickle on into September 2003. It also caused variations in the vehicles such as heated seats, retractable antennae, mats, etc. [ citation needed ] The last of the 328 EVs was sold in November 2002 Sales A total of 1,484 were leased and/or sold in California.
