Page 26: Ev System
1-1. EV system Characteristics of the EV (Electric Vehicle) system The RAV4 EV is considerably different from a conventional vehicle. Instead of using gasoline, the vehicle is driven using electricity in the rechargeable traction battery to power the electric motor. This technology is clean and has a low impact on the environment by not emitting exhaust such as CO or NOx during operation.
Page 27 1-1. EV system ■ Charging The RAV4 EV is driven using electricity, received from an exter- nal power source, that is stored in the traction battery. Not only public charging stations, but also household electrical recepta- cles can be used for charging. Procedures are different from refueling a conventional vehicle.
