Maintenance Items Had to replace the charge capacitor board at about 102k miles. This was done by Toyota so the whole board was replaced (this was before Michael offered his capacitors). I had to purchase the board separately as Toyota wanted an outrageous price for it. I also replaced the tires only once at about 68,000 miles. In addition I portablized the charger and did the magnetic vent mod.
Comments
I owned the car for 5 & 1/2 years and drove over 127k miles. It was a great car. I sold it in July 2008 to someone in Idaho who drove it about 4000 miles and then sold it on 5/4/2010. Not sure who owns it now. Wish I still had it. Even at 127k miles, I was able to get 100 miles per charge with careful driving (no AC or heater). I did notice that the pack was getting tired when I sold it, the voltage would drop more quickly when the charge was low and I went up a hill on the way home.
