Most likely it's a conversion of some sort if it is truly a 1994 chassis. Unless it was a conversion using the drive train from one of the '97-'98 production models, you'll likely find very little hardware in yours that is in the production models. Greg Brewsaugh 3EVs + PV in...

I suspect that your drop in range on the new RAV4-EV is due to lower average temperatures lately in So CA. (I'm in Huntington Beach.) I was somewhat alarmed to see the same thing in our 2011 Leaf and Volt as Winter approached. Range came right back up in the late Spring the fo...
