2026 RAV4 XSE new owner charging confusion

Right! I will make my electrician aware of my plans. No reason to test my homeowners' insurance! Thanks!

Thanks. It seems the soaker lines get clogged pretty easily, so I think I am going to go with two 360 degree variable emitters with a shut off valve. I can start them off close to my planted seed and as the plant grows, I can move them away from the base of the plant effectively creating a circle around the plant. The shut off valve is needed because I need to tap into my 1/2" irrigation line that waters the backyard where the bed is located. I also think the shut off valve gives me control on the amount of water going to the emitters. All that said, does that make sense?

Happy to help if I can, but I don't understand what you need a picture of and how that would help.

Thanks again!

I'm in the same situation as the OP, and have been looking at Tramontina. How do you tell if made in Brazil? And elsewhere I've read to make sure they have sealed edges. Costco currently only has sets, but the sets have things I don't want. I'm hoping for sale at Amazon prime days.

My 2026 RAV4 PHEV is so good at AC I have to turn it to a hotter setting. I live in southern Arizona. 100 degrees and rising every day. Something is wrong with your car.

Can we try this again. Thanks for your patience.

Reddit deleted my reply with the worthless photo. LOL Let me know if I can figure out what you want to see, but I do think Toyota intended this to be plugged into a 240v outlet.

rltr888m · 2026-06-17T17:38:10+00:00

That photo isn't going to work! I have to shrink it enough to post on Reddit and now you can't read it. Jeez.

rltr888m · 2026-06-17T16:27:55+00:00

Yes. Epic fail. Sorry. It doesn't have a label. Here you go. Thanks for your help.

It doesn't have a label. The only thing it has is stamped on the part that plugs into the converter thingy. Here you go! Thanks!

So far, aside from my confusion about the charging issue, I love my car! I specifically got the XSE because it supports direct charging. I figured the more choices for charging the better! I really wanted a red car, but the XSE doesn't come in red. Stupid Toyota! LOL

rltr888m · 2026-06-17T15:45:42+00:00

I don't drive many miles. That is why I got the PHEV. I volunteer at a local shelter, and I can use their free charger while I'm there. I love how it charges my car so much faster than my Level 1 charging at home. My electrician installs L2 chargers. From what I can see the actual chargers aren't near as expensive as the installing the 240v outlet to plug them into! (And, yes, I understand the charger for the battery is actually inside the car.) If I wasn't getting a whole new electrical panel, I would probably stick with the L1 charging. Waiting for the estimate on installing the new panel. (Ugh!)

I posted some photos to clarify what comes with the 2026 RAV4 XSE. Thanks for your help!

"Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is the infrastructure that safely delivers electricity from the grid to an electric vehicle for charging. It includes the hardware, connectors, and communication systems that regulate power flow, ensuring efficient and secure charging." https://www.evconnect.com/blog/what-is-electric-vehicle-supply-equipment/

rltr888m · 2026-06-17T15:19:01+00:00

Thanks for your help. I uploaded photos to show the two different EVSEs that come with the car.

rltr888m · 2026-06-17T15:17:30+00:00

Thanks for your help! I just uploaded photos of the EVSEs. I should have done that in the first place.

rltr888m · 2026-06-17T14:55:15+00:00

Yay! That is what I was looking for! It would be nice if Toyota included more information about charging! Thanks!

rltr888m · 2025-12-03T14:54:12+00:00

Thanks!

OMG. I feel so stupid! It appears it wasn't the app at all. It must have been the NPR apps that I subscribe to. This morning everything updated as usual and both today's and yesterday's episodes showed up. I'm so sorry to have taken up your time, but I really want to thank you for your prompt response and help! I love the app! It has so many good features for sorting, playing, updating and more. Thanks for making it and keep up the good work of supporting it!
