Great price. I just listed mine on Craigslist here in Honolulu for the same price, with all new drive batteries. Did you get a good offer? I am willing to ship this vehicle to Los Angeles or Seattle via Matson Shipping if buyer wants to reimburse part of the costs. Aloha.

Got my new Chevy Bolt this week and have no parking spaces left for me newly repaired (all warranty work!) 2012 White I-Miev. Asking a fair price, listed on Craigslist if you want to see pictures and more information. Tell your friends or envious neighbors. I can ship to California for an extra...

Thank you for the feedback Don! I am picking up my new Chevy Bolt at the shipping docks next week, and have run out of parking stalls!!! I will ask $5,500 and see what happens. Aloha.

I need to sell my 2012 I-Miev (white, standard issue, but has roof rack and bike rack/hitch, that has over 60K on it here in Honolulu (work car for many years, all over this island!!) and the dealer is putting in a brand new traction battery! What is a fair price? Any ideas? Aloha!

My car is in the dealer shop, again. I was so happy with my brand new traction battery installed via warranty last month (took over a month here in Honolulu to get it done though!) that I was thinking of leaving my newly purchased Chevy Bolt in Portland and shipping here after July. (closed the...

Thank you for sharing your own experiences with the new battery replacement concerns I expressed. I will be more patient. The battery seems much stronger, not losing power as fast, and recharging downhill much better than my failed battery. I will keep the car and may leave my new Bolt in...

I was getting only 32 miles RR with a full charge at home. I took it to the dealer and gave them copies of news articles about battery problems at the battery manufacturer and the $30 million dollar settlement to make it right in Japan. They tested for weeks, over and over, techs from Japan...

My car is ready for pick up today, with a brand new drive battery!!! Can't wait to see what my new range is. Maybe I will keep the car, even though I ordered a new Chevy Bolt, since I doubt I would get a price for selling that takes into account a brand new battery that starts my 10 year...

The dealer has decided to replace my degraded battery with a brand new system that has already arrived from Japan. I take it in on monday!!! I am thinking it might be wise to sell the car with the new battery asap, since I ordered a new Chevy Bolt that I will pick up in Oregon before the end of...

We have the highest electrical rates in the nation here in Hawaii, but an EV owner can get a "Time of Use" meter that allows big reduction in rates after 9pm, till 7 AM, so the feature that came with me vehicle has been a blessing. My monthly electric bill with nightly use has not gone up more...

I am trying to qualify my IMiev as a "Lyft" vehicle (Waikiki to HNL airport, short trips) but MUST add a third seatbelt in the rear to meet requirements. They really only need a "token effort" as they said just provide a picture and a receipt for the work and I will be approved. Any ideas? I...

My car was built on the last monday in Oct, and the recall date starts on that friday, November 4, 2011. When I called for the info from Mitsubishi, they said that my car was not subject to the recall. I question whether they really have the info about which motor control unit went into which...

It has been a few weeks since the replacement of the bad wheel bearing on the front left, and my indicated mileage (RR?) is going up slowly after my overnight charging. Most recently showing 56 miles. Not as good as when I first got the car and it was as high as 92, but often 75-85. I have read...

The bearing noise turned out to be the "hub" and it IS a warranty repair after all. They are sending the parts and will get the repair done this week, hopefully. Once I have the smooth roll going again, I am hopeful that my range indication will increase! will keep you posted. Mahalo!

My alignment has also been a problem. I went to local tire dealer, who said they do not stock the imiev tires, but would bring them in to Hawaii if I needed them, but it would take a week. I asked for an alignment check, and they said the front could not be properly aligned, with no...
