Charging station locations could be better integrated with its navigation system. Even after incentives, it remains a pricey electric vehicle.Bottom Line: The fact that the 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV is an electric SUV is less compelling than its range, where it comes in a little stronger than most electric cars.
