If anyone is looking for a '12 i-MiEV, my black '12 ES is still on the lot at Driver's Village (www.driversvillage.com) in Syracuse, NY. I traded it for a leftover '13 Volt. They're asking $13k for the car, it has 13k miles on it--- it has maybe 3000 miles on a new traction battery installed...

I remember the Nissan dealer- I'll remember in future as well, although it appears that Reno-Depot's Circuit Electrique station didn't debit me for my session. Only wish Fairview mall was open past 5pm- that shot my plans for passing the time- I showed up at 4:30 and the mall shuttered at 5pm...

Somewhere in my pile of stuff, I have a design for a laminated hang tag for the J-1772 that was developed by the Electric Automobile Association. The tag would have one's cell phone number and something like "It's OK to unplug me after hh:mm" with a way to mark the time. I'll search around...

Last fall, when I had my battery replaced under warranty, my dealer provided me with a loaner car while my i-MiEV was in the shop. However, the loaner was a Chevy Impala, hardly an economy car! While I enjoyed playing with the sunroof on the Impala, filling the tank was unpleasant. I think I...

I put just a few miles shy of 13000 on my i before I traded it in- you made me go back and look at my PV generated in the same timeframe. I bought the car the end of June 2012, and traded it in mid-April 2014. In that time I generated about 3500kWh of electricity. At 4 miles/kWh (250...

I was distracted by lots of things, including trading my MiEV in for a Volt, so missed this discussion while it was developing. I would have liked to been part of this historic event- Montreal would be feasible in the Mitsubishi, but would require planning (and a Circuit Electrique card, which...

Thanks for your kind words, Robert. To explain my circumstances a little better... My employer as part of its plan requires me to own a business vehicle that is less than 5 years old for business use. My 2009 VW TDI has reached the end of its eligibility to be my "company car" for business...

I got $10,500 for the trade, which was a little less than the $11k I was looking for, but more than the $9,500 another Chevy dealer wanted to give. I had planned on asking $11k for the car for outright sale, which is less than KBB private sale price, but about on par with a good-excellent...

What a beautiful day (finally) here in Northern New York- 60F and sunny, most welcome after the winter we had! I took iGor the iMiEV out to stretch its legs today, doing what I had been hoping to do since June 2012 when I bought it. I drove about 80 miles away from home, stopping to charge a...

I figured I'd chime in here- like several other places, this winter so far in Northern New York has been a challenge, with two cold snaps, one down to -14F in early January (>48 hours below zero) and the current one longer and colder (>60 hours below zero, brief climb to +2F at noon time today...

The battery warmer, I believe, is part of the cold weather package and your car may not be so equipped. The battery warmer works only when plugged in and charging- the warmer will bring the temperature up to the acceptable range to allow charging. It does not work while driving, or while...

How long does the EMU light come on? Is it just briefly? If so, this happens with almost everyone- see this thread: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=678&p=3911#p3911 I don't think there's anything wrong with your car or remote- it's less than perfect, often requiring a "dance"...

And thanks, tonymil for your assistance on this- I think my sharing of your battery failure gave my dealer some guidance on how to go about this. Epilogue- car is back to normal. I drove it down to 2 bars to make sure it got recalibrated, and had 82 miles RR yesterday morning. Cheers- Rich

Well, I got the car back today :D :D :D :D Late yesterday afternoon, another plot twist- the dealer decided after talking with MMNA to flatbed the car back so I didn't have to drive it 80 miles home, very nice. After the dealer's testing, when it got to me it had 15 bars and 75 miles RR...

Got the call from my dealer this morning. They have received the battery and are in the midst of the installation now- hoping to have it ready to pick up tomorrow. They'll call tonight to confirm. That was fast! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Interesting factoid- this time I'll be...
