My wife and I are working out the gremlins in one of our two 2013 Rav4EVs. The
charger is going to be replaced soon (Thanksgiving?) but the traction coolant
pump is the real gremlin. Do you know how stressed out one's spouse can get
when the System Warning appears on the dash? Words fail me. As an aside, our
long-gone Subaru station wagon had an ECS light, akin to the "check engine"
light on many ICE vehicles. We determined later that it stands for "Excite
Crazy Spouse."
I digress.
Today, her trip to work ended with turtle mode. The pump has been diagnosed six
ways to Sunday and a replacement is going to arrive Saturday, fingers crossed.
The pump isn't failing, but the sensors within are reporting that it is or that
it has.
She stopped the vehicle on a four lane roadway, raised median, no shoulders,
raised curbs on all sides. Local deputy dawg appeared while we were engaging in
cellular communications. With a "red and blues" escort, she made it to the safe
haven of the airport off-site cell phone lot awaiting my arrival.
She told me later that the officer suggested that she have the fuel filter,
fuel pump and air filter checked for damage from the hurricane. A small
chuckle. The Rav4EV might as well be invisible on the road as a "real" electric
vehicle.
