Charging equipmentCharging-Power sources
A Level 1 charging cable is provided with your RAV4 EV. However, a Level 2 (240V)
charging station is strongly recommended. Level 2 charging offers a faster charge
time than AC120V charging. Please contact your Authorized Toyota RAV4 EV Dealer
for more information on obtaining a Level 2 charging station for your home.
-Connect your Level 1 charging cable to an AC 120V electrical receptacle (NEMA 5-15R or NEMA 5-20R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) and an over
current circuit breaker in the service panel.
-Toyota recommends using a dedicated receptacle with a single socket. If the receptacle has two sockets, do not plug any other item into the other socket.
-For public charging, this vehicle may only be charged at stations that are SAE J1772 compliant. Use your navigation system to search for nearby public charging
stations.
-When charging outdoors, be sure to connect to a rain tight electrical receptacle that is appropriate for outdoor use.
NOTE: Do not attempt to use a damaged or loose electrical receptacle to
charge your vehicle.
See the Owner’s Manual for important precautionary information.

Do not connect the charging cable
to an extension cable. The cable
may overheat and does not contain
a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI).

Charging cable-Plugging in
Step 1 Plug the charging cable into the electrical receptacle of the external power source.
- Ensure that the standards of the electrical receptacle and the
charging cable’s plug match.
- Check that the power indicator of the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) is illuminated.
- Hanging the CCID on a hook is recommended to reduce the strain
on the electrical receptacle and
charging cable plug.
- When charging outdoors, use a “while-in-use” cover.
Step 2 Press the test button on the CCID to check that the electrical leakage detection function operates properly.
- If the error warning indicator illuminates when test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
- After the test is completed, press reset button to turn off the error
warning. Charging cannot occur
while error warning is illuminated.
- If the error warning indicator does not come on when test button is
pressed, the function may not be
operating correctly. Stop charging
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
Step 3 Pull up the charging port door lever.
Step 4 Open the charging port cap by releasing the clip.
Step 5 Remove the charging connector cap. Affix the cap to the cable.

performed or after they are finished, the following information is displayed for 30
seconds when the driver’s door is opened.
Plug connection status
Current charging status
Estimated charging time (both 120V and 240V)
When the plug is connected, only the voltage of the connected receptacle
is displayed.
Pre-climate status
Departure time*
* If Pre-climate operations are performed using a smartphone, this will not be displayed even if the driver’s door is opened.
In the following conditions, only the plug connection information will be displayed:
- When the POWER switch is turned to ON mode after charging/Pre-climate operations.
- When the charging/Pre-climate schedule is not set.
Note: If Pre-climate operations are performed using a smartphone, Pre-climate
results will be displayed.
Charging information and warning messages The first time the POWER switch is
turned to ON mode after charging is completed, a message detailing the results
of the charge is shown. Also, if an operation that cannot be carried out during
charging was attempted, a warning message will be shown.
Multi-Information Display-Charging
