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 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.
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.
- 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.
