CORRECTION: I was misinformed by the service director. They did not replace the battery pack, only the charger. The service rep who actually oversaw the work called to follow up, to see if I were pleased with their service. He then told me that only the charger was replaced. That should worry me...

Here is the final report: The dealer replaced both the charger and battery pack, for a bill of $4832.84, charged to the warranty. My early but firm impression is that the new battery pack is stronger than the original. The trip back from the dealer was 70.6 miles, and I arrived with 11 miles in...

Update as of Tuesday: The charger was replaced today and the battery pack is now charging. I can retrieve the car tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope the battery pack is not ruined. I'll be able to tell during the (65 mile) ride back home. Report to come.

JoeS: I did not disconnect the starter battery for two reasons: My wife's TT had a Bose system that would at random times discharge the battery to zero, turning the car into slag that had to be trucked to the dealer to be rebooted; would the Miev also turn to slag? Second, if I had designed the...

Update as of Wednesday afternoon: The tech at the dealer, in consultation with corporate, has concluded that the charger has failed. There is a replacement charger in Atlanta that has now been shipped to Southfield to be installed in my Miev by next Tuesday. I communicated my worry that two...

Good idea, but the remote hasn't been used for months, although I tried to get the car to charge with the remote after the problem surfaced. The code in the car is massive and I may be a victim of an hitherto unknown jump to nonsense. You can never find them all. I have enjoyed the car immensely.

All suggestions. I tried replugging but to no avail. It's in Mitsubishi's hands now. Update soonest.

Update as of close of business Friday: Mitsubishi trailered the car to the dealer in Southfield Michigan. Upon inspection, no error codes were found. Mitsubishi has never seen this problem before, this refusal to charge. All systems check as nominal. The company sent the dealer a list of...

Both EVSE are dependable, in fact on separate connections to the grid. I called Mitsubishi roadside assistance to deliver the car to the dealer. Will let u all know the diagnosis.

First sign of trouble in 3200 delightful miles: last night my Miev suspended charging at midpoint (8 bars). The starting battery is fully charged. Every time I plug in either one of my two EVSEs, the fan blows as usual but then charging ceases after 8 seconds. This is with both 120 and 240 V...
