The company "Helm" sells a service manual. The service manual would show you the cables to disconnect. You need some heavy equipment to remove the batteries. A hoist to raise the truck off the ground, and a 2nd hoist to hold the battery pack while you unbolt it and then lower...

The EV1 had a button to deactivate the regen unless braking was engaged. The RAV4-EV has a button to deactivate its regen as well. Why it was not incorporated into the S10e is something I still don't understand. My gut tells me that there is not reason that a fairly simple cir...
