ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Electric Vehicle System
The RAV4 EV uses electricity in a rechargeable traction battery to power the
electric motor. The driving range is extended by using regenerative braking to
store electricity in the traction battery. This technology is clean and has a low
impact on the environment by not emitting exhaust such as CO
operation.
Tips for reducing battery consumption
-Keep the EV System indicator needle within the ECO area.
-Drive in normal mode.
-When possible, avoid driving on steep inclines.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of Air Conditioning and heating; the seat heater may also be used to
supplement heating.
-Maintain recommended tire pressure and avoid carrying unnecessary luggage.
-Utilize the Pre-climate function to warm or cool cabin before driving.

Charging-Power sources
A Level 1 charging cable is provided with your RAV4 EV. However, a Level 2 (240V)
charging station is strongly recommended. Level 2 charging offers a faster charge
time than AC 120V charging. Please contact your Authorized Toyota RAV4 EV
Dealer for more information on obtaining a Level 2 charging station for your home.
-Connect your Level 1 charging cable to an AC 120V electrical receptacle (NEMA
5-15R or NEMA 5-20R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) and an over
current circuit breaker in the service panel.
-Toyota recommends using a dedicated receptacle with a single socket. If the
receptacle has two sockets, do not plug any other item into the other socket.
-For public charging, this vehicle may only be charged at stations that are SAE
J1772 compliant. Use your navigation system to search for nearby public charging
stations.
-When charging outdoors, be sure to connect to a rain tight electrical receptacle
that is appropriate for outdoor use.
NOTE: Do not attempt to use a damaged or loose electrical receptacle to
charge your vehicle.
Do not connect the charging
cable to a multi-outlet adapter,
multi-plugs, or conversion plug.
OVERVIEW ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Do not connect the charging cable
to an extension cable. The cable
may overheat and does not contain
a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI).
Do not connect to a power strip.
See the Owner’s Manual for important precautionary information.

Charging cable-Plugging in
Step 1 Plug the charging cable into the electrical receptacle of the external
power source.
“While-in-use”
cover
Step 2 Press the test button on the CCID to check that the electrical leakage
detection function operates properly.
- Ensure that the standards of the
electrical receptacle and the
charging cable’s plug match.
- Check that the power indicator
of the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) is illuminated.
- Hanging the CCID on a hook is
recommended to reduce the strain
on the electrical receptacle and
charging cable plug.
- When charging outdoors, use a
“while-in-use” cover.
- If the error warning indicator
illuminates when test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
- After the test is completed, press
reset button to turn off the error
warning. Charging cannot occur
while error warning is illuminated.
- If the error warning indicator does
not come on when test button is
pressed, the function may not be
operating correctly. Stop charging
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
