As I noted in the auction, our driving patterns changed. We drive over to my daughter a lot, to see our grand kids. They used to live about 45 miles from us, which was within range. Then they moved about 10 miles farther which put them out of range.
As to why own one - three years ago the RAV4-EV was the only stock vehicle offered to the public that was eligible for car pool lane stickers. My wife commutes into San Francisco every day and the carpool lane saves her an hour on the round trip. Nowadays you get the same benefit with a hybrid.

Please do not take offence My posting was not intended to offend.
I see it saved you time allowing you to use the car pool lane and it saved you an hour back in the time before Hybrids.
I have read several posts on EV vehicles and I just was not impressed with the range of these vehicles..
And yes I would think driving a hybrid would save you money that you would notice in the first year especially if you owned 2 (his & hers).. I just dont get the idea of EV's, unless you don't drive far & when you do its in a suburb were everything is close by due to limited range..
The EV tech has gotten better, but the milage sure has not changed much since the 70's...
Congrats on your sale
