Charging equipmentCharging-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 AC120V 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.
See the Owner’s Manual for important precautionary information.

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.

Charging cable-Plugging in
Step 1 Plug the charging cable into the electrical receptacle of the external power source.
- 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.
Step 2 Press the test button on the CCID to check that the electrical leakage detection function operates properly.
- 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.
Step 3 Pull up the charging port door lever.
Step 4 Open the charging port cap by releasing the clip.
Step 5 Remove the charging connector cap. Affix the cap to the cable.

Step 6 Insert the charging cable connector into the charging port.
- Do not press the latch release button when inserting the connector.
- Align with the guide position shown on underside of the charging
connector, and push it in straight
and firmly until it clicks. Confirm
connector is securely locked.
- The plug-in indicator on the meter illuminates in green if correctly
plugged in. Incorrect plug-in results
in a yellow plug-in indicator.
- If no schedule is set, or the charge immediately function is selected,
charging will begin by simply
plugging in the charging cable.
- If EV System is on when the vehicle is plugged in, the READY indicator
will turn off and a message will show
in the Multi-Information Display.
Step 7 Check the status of the charging indicator.
Ligh t ALight B
The charging indicator consists of two lights that display charging status by
illuminating, flashing and turning off as follows:
The indicator lights will not flash or turn on if the charging cable is not
connected properly. During charging, current charging status and the estimated
time until charge completion can be checked on the Multi-Information Display or
navigation display.

If the charging connector is
disconnected during charging (while
the charging indicator indicates the
vehicle is being charged), charging
will be interrupted.
Step 2 Attach the charging connector cap.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Firmly push the charging port cap
and charging port door, and check
that they are securely locked.
Step 3 Close the charging port cap, and then close the charging port door.
- Hold the body of the plug while
removing.
- Make sure to put the cable away immediately after disconnecting.
- When leaving the plug inserted, check the plug and connector once a month
for accumulation of dirt or dust.
Step 4 Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle when the charging
equipment will not be used for a long period of time.
Depending on the charge settings, the vehicle may not start charging just by
plugging in the charging cable. Use the navigation screen to set the charging and
Pre-climate/remote climate control schedules. Before either function starts, it is
recommended that:
-Parking brake is securely set with shift position in “P”
-All windows and doors are closed
-Engine hood is securely closed
-All lights are turned off
When the EV System is turned off, the screen changes to the charging and
Pre-climate settings screen. If no operations are performed for approximately 30
seconds, the screen turns off.
