so with a vin number of "2" these are made in the USA? i think i may want one now.
The very first letter or number of the VIN tells you in what region of the world your vehicle was made. Match the letter or number below to the first number or letter of your VIN to find out in what region of the world your VIN was made.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are made in Africa
J, K, L, M, N, P, and R are made Asia
S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z are made in Europe
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are made in North America 2T= Canada
6 and 7 are made in Oceania
8 and 9 are made in South America
I found these 3 URLs by Googling for site:toyota.com "rav4 ev" assembled canada.

If so, it is made in... North America.
Unrelated, while digging around, I found the Emergency Response Guide (ERG) for the current Rav4 EV. Not sure if it's been posted yet.

Oh yeah, and at Alt Car Expo, I recall one of the Toyota folks (I believe while driving their hydrogen FCV) telling me that they got borrowed/got some of the engineers from their FCV project to work on the Rav4 EV.
