You should be able to get the 0% financing and $5K incentive but you're probably SOL re: the $2.5K EV loyalty cash (supposedly meant for current owners of previous gen Rav4 EVs).
Tony Williams got 130 miles on a charge on his rental Rav4 EV before buying one (http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=240769#p240769" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false, and ditching his Leaf.
Too bad it's still kinda expensive even after the above and Federal and CA incentives. But, I suppose it's a "poor man's" Tesla.
The RAV4EV is on my list of possibilities but incentives not showing up my my zip code. Also, I don't own a previous gen RAV4 EV but I do have another Toyota in my driveway. Guess I would have to talk my way into it. Any idea who is a good dealer to contact? Wonder if there would be any way to somehow negotiate a trade in. Thanks.
