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 CO2or NOXduring
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 System Range 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 equipment 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.
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.

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.
