ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Starting the EV 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
2 or NOX during
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.
Electric Vehicle SystemRange Map screen
The driving area possible on the current charge level can be displayed as a
reference, as can charge stations in the surrounding area.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
(1) Depress the brake pedal, and
press the “POWER” switch
while in Park.
(2) After a few seconds the “READY” light comes on and a
beep sounds.

Charging cable-Unplugging
Step 1 Pull the charging connector toward you while pressing the latch release button.
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.

Pre-climate (Remote Climate Control)
Adjusting cabin temperature before driving reduces traction battery consumption
after departure, thereby increasing driving range. If the amount of charge
remaining in the traction battery is less than 50% at the time Pre-climate
operation is scheduled to begin, Pre-climate operations will not be performed in
order to preserve driving range.
The climate control system can be turned on before entering the vehicle by
setting the Pre-climate schedule or using the Smartphone Entune
® EV Remote
Climate application on a smartphone.
Pre-climate operations completion can be set for a specific time on each day of
the week.
Charging settings
The RAV4 EV may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a specific
time each day.
Smartphone Entune® EV Applications
Drivers with a smartphone and active Entune® and Safety Connect® subscriptions
may remotely interact with several features of the RAV4 EV.
