[EVDL] Battery packs and UPS options?

Within six months (my wife's retirement), we will no longer need one of the two EVs in our fleet of Rav4EVs (contemporary, not legacy). I feel the resale value is low, due to a turbine song from the power plant, confirmed by coolant speckles on the speed sensor. If it survives to the date, we'l

On 1/19/24 16:46, fr What options exist to provide the equivalent of a Tesla PowerWall from the removed pack of this Rav4EV? Rather than fill up this vehicle oriented forum, perhaps a viewer can redirect me to a suitable forum? Also, I feel it's important to note that we have a PowerWall and

Due to limited mobility, flexibility and increasing agony, removing the motor is not in my list of capabilities. Florida is lacking in folks with this sort of skill, although a local wrench has offered to research the process. I've not heard from him for a week, though. The Rav4EV forum isn't r
