William, We've had a 2012 RAV4EV for the last 8 months. On average we are consuming 13.5 KWhrs/day driving it. This translates to about 46 mi/day, average. For what it's worth the RAV is Tesla inside (battery, motor, controller...) though is the 'small' 42 KW battery. Tesla was putting it in the Model S but I'm not sure if they still do, they advertise just the 60 and 85KW batts now. I added a 4KW array to keep up with the days when we travel more like 75-100 miles and it's keeping up quite well, we'll see what the winter holds...may be more driving the Jetta TDI when the weather sets in.
