    Buying advice.

    Hello Shaun, I posted this information in a previous thread: "If you are looking at this car at Richard Chevrolet in CT : http://www.richardchevy.com/VehicleDeta ... 2988336423 DO NOT buy it despite it only has 350 miles! There was a picture showing the warning light for the "Electric motor"...

    Is the i-Miev for us?

    I bought my 14 I-miev brand new 2+ years ago and my family has been loving it. In fact, I have been looking for a 2nd one but I bought a VW Golf Electric instead as I got a great deal. I agree with phb10186, I-Miev is simple and it's a standard subcompact car made in Japan. When I compare it...

    Used 12 SE Premium or Used 14?

    I ended up buying a new 2016 VW e-Golf as dealerships offered great deals to clear their inventory. I bought a SE without quick charge from Richmond Hilltop VW, CA for $19,100. After all the rebate I am able to get the car for $11,500 out of the door. The dealership even allowed us to pick our...

    Used 12 SE Premium or Used 14?

    Thanks for the input everyone! I am also looking for some I-Miev from out of state. I think a 12 SE with LEV50n battery is a good fit. Just need to be patient ;)

    Used 12 SE Premium or Used 14?

    Two years ago, I was able to purchase our new 14 I-Miev for $9,200 (after incentives). Our family loves the car so much that I start looking for a 2nd one now. So far, I've come across two used I-Miev: (1) A 2012 SE with back up camera, 22000 miles, $5,500...

    Mitsubishi Will No Longer Sell the i MiEV in the USA

    Have not posted here for a while. Sad news but I don't think it surprises any of us due to I-Miev's disappointing NA sales and the introduction of 2nd generation EV. I don't care what other people/reviewers say about I-Miev as my family absolutely loves it! In fact, I am currently looking...

    Parking at SFO

    Thanks for the infor Don. Good to know SFO is offering charging stations. However, it's expensive to park at SFO :( BTW, 2 of the shopping plaza/mall that we frequent offer FREE LV2 charging stations: Stonestown Mall in San Francisco and Target parking lot in Colma.

    Little i-MiEV Electric Car: How Does It Compare To VW e-Golf

    Thanks for the link. I agree that this is a very fair review for our beloved I-Miev. For me, getting a brand new 14 I-Miev for $9,200 (after incentives) is a no-braner. I had considered Fiat 500e, Smart EV and E-Golf before my purchase, but I don't want to spend the extra $10k-15k as I-Miev...

    Any I Witnesses?

    My wife spotted a pure white I-Miev in our neighborhood this morning. She thought I was driving it :) Another day we spotted a different pure white I-Miev (vehicle purchased from a dealership in San Raferal). So far we have spotted 4 I-Miev in the city of San Francisco.

    Any I Witnesses?

    Took my family for a road trip from San Francisco to Portland for the past week. On our way home we stopped by a Target store in Medford, Oregon and we saw a pure white I-Miev in the parking lot :)

    Bit the bullet to pay to park in the garage at work ...

    Congrats! $15 a month for a designated parking space with a wall plug for the Miev?! I would have jumped on it anytime. It's not going to happen in San Francisco unfortunately. University Of San Francisco (Medical school) parking garage would charge you the following rate: Public parking...

    I-Miev got broken into with charger stolen!

    Thanks everyone. I am very lucky to be able to recover the charger this time. Thanks for the tip Don. I just finished programming the remote. Now it makes a beep sound when the doors lock. I was prepared to buy a LV1 Panasonic charger from Ebay for $200. I just wanted to find out how much it...

    I-Miev got broken into with charger stolen!

    I live in San Francisco, CA with no garage so I am charging my I-Miev on the sidewalk outside of our house. This morning (at 1230am) I forgot to lock my door (yes my carelessness!) and someone just got into my car and went through everything inside. The thief took a garage remote belongs to my...

    Used values of 2014 EVs

    I am not concern about the Used price as I don't plan to sell it. I bought mine 2014 NEW for $9,221 out of the door after all the incentives. If I-Miev fits your need, it is the best bargain EV (new or used) in the market!
