But I have been eyeing full EVs lately
The RAV4 from what I’ve heard is a little harder to hypermile than the Volt.

Whereas the Volts Highway fuel economy “mostly” matched EPA combined the RAV4 is heavily optimized for city fuel economy ,
This disconnect will result in heavy traffic and 25mph drivers to be estatic while highway cruzers might be less impressed.

The only real sticking point will be winter economy if Toyota has improved this it will be a saving grace despite the low high speed economy
