Interesting - they claim that the batteries should be replaced after 100,000 miles. (Due to wear & Tear) Also - "There is currently no charge for using the roadside charging facilities" - just a "get you home boost" or free motoring? Richard P This is a parallel post of the [OT]: Gas and Taxes thread http://www.toyota.com/html/shop/vehicles/ravev/rav4ev_0_home/index.html "In addition to generating zero emissions, the revolutionary 67-hp motor is capable of approaching 78 mph, more than adequate for both street and highway driving." "Utilizing 24 high-capacity, nickel-metal hydride batteries, the RAV4 can travel up to 126 miles on a single charge. For most of us, that's enough to get us to work and back.*" "*Actual range will vary depending on your driving habits." Say goodbye, aircar. --Brendan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
