sharp!! I'm partial to the woody graphics... My labrador black imiev is jealous.

Here's my New Member introductory post... I'm in the New Haven, CT area and picked up our "Labrador Black" iMiev two weeks ago. It's been a great commuter / chruch / errand mobile! The kids love it. But my wife's been so busy and we bought it at such short notice that she hasn't even driven...

This has happened. And some other stuff. But not to me!!

Glad I got this cool little cost effective EV while I could! Seems like the company came out a bit worse for the wear after the '08 downturn... I can't understand why MM doesn't go for more daring advertising and brand itself better. Sometimes focus groups make a company "bland" itself...

But would that be good for the battery? Original poster -- the range meter is dependent on how you've driven over the past 15 miles or so... which is why you might see it read 72 or 92 after a full charge, depending on whether you were most recently on a highway or on flat backroads or whatever.

I use the station exactly as intended -- as a pilot program to encourage early adopters, especially city employees, to commute electrically. I move the car as soon as I can. It's a chance one takes. If I found I couldn't charge and were stuck, I'd be on the train and the bus and then back...

It was more of a dusty joke than a dirty one. as for the oddball Kiwi jokes, though.... :roll: :D

The 80 miles was listed as "potential range" light flat driving could easily render that range, right? Nice "dirty" joke about Mr. Hoover.... :shock:

Thanks, Don. I enjoy debate on the internet, and am always to post a thorough defense! For me, the word "admit" set the tone for how I read your post. Thought we were in Perry Mason mode! :) I did flag the other driver down and had a pleasant conversation with him. We've personally...

I'm not the people hogging your charging spaces... I'm not on trial, and haven't "admitted" to anything. Good grief. You know, in two days I walked eightl 20 minute jaunts through the dangerous neighborhood known as "The Hollow" in Bridgeport in order to ensure that I was not using the...

I walked back from work on my lunch hour to pick it up and found that it had not charged! I must have made the connection poorly... though I saw the "charging" light lit. So I plugged it back in and came back two and a half hours later to find all my bars happily ready for me! The only...

http://www.bgreenbridgeport.org/news/2013/4/23/electric-vehicle-charging-station.html There is a free 220v charging station at city hall in Bridgeport, Conn., where I teach High School. This is 0.8 miles from my school building, so I can zoom out to work on the highway (19 miles), plug in, and...

This Chicago Tribune review -- http://cars.chicagotribune.com/fuel-efficient/car/2013-mitsubishi-i-miev When people ask me about my iMiev and electric cars, I let them know that Nissan beat them in the market and made and marketed their electric more successfully than the iMiev. But if an...

We chose not to negotiate down from how the car was priced. $12,495 (after tax credit, which we should be able to take) was excellent. I didn't feel the need to knock it down from "invoice."

Not fully charging seems a bit much to me. I'm not going to top mine off every single chance I get, but how much eventual degradation 10 years out will that really be preventing? If it's another 5% -- then what is that, ~5 miles? The car is designed to be charged and used. That's how I hope...
