Glad to see you have one of the Rav4 EV's
I'm sure you saw the Doc. "who killed the electric car" about the GM EV's taken from their "Owners", who still wanted and Loved them, and were destroyed.
No salvage allowed.

To sum up, people love their Insights, but many of them are needing batteries. It looks like Honda didn't quite have the battery management of Toyota and Ford. The Ford Escape seems to be the best, with actual A/C cooled air going across the batteries.

Also, avoid the 2000-2003 Prius. Its battery is not intended to last the life of the car, the 2004 and newer Prius battery is.

Good luck with your choice.
