    Interesting article that gives perspective on the global sales of Mitsubishi vehicles and why they do not seem to be focusing on the US market. http://chargedevs.com/newswire/mitsubishi-delays-us-launch-of-outlander-phev/

    500 mile weekend ride in 31 hours

    Left my iMiEV at home and took an electric motorcycle trip last weekend. I took advantage of a 3 day weekend to ride from NYC to DC on my 2012 Zero S carrying 2 Elcon 2500W chargers. I planned out my stops so I could travel at highway speeds and charge using Chargepoint stations, which allow...

    Battery technology

    Battery Capacity loss is something that has been discussed in a variety of posts in this forum. Here is an article by a BMW Active-E owner who has driven 44,000 miles and so far is experiencing about 8% capacity loss.

    How do you track your charging?

    I have been measuring the electricity every time I charge my electric vehicles and use the CurrentCost EnviR system with an Enerati Web Bridge. That way I can view my charging online wherever I am. There are definitely other people who do the same thing, what do you use? Kill-A-Watt? TED...

    Odd charging blips

    While my iMIEV was charging it sometimes cuts out for a while, then goes back about its business of charging. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this the "charging may stop before a full charge" that is identified in the manual? For example, on March 3rd I plugged in at 5:30pm and the car...

    B-mode for regular driving

    Apparently some people have been informed to not use B-mode as their regular driving mode. As an experienced driver of electric vehicles I have always used the regenerative braking as my primary means of slowing down and no other manufacturer (to my knowledge) has warned against doing this...

    Fun with Data

    Hello! EV drivers often take meticulous notes on their driving experiences so they can better predict the behavior of their vehicle. I'm interested in what data everyone collects and what patterns you have found. After driving for a week in cold Mid-Atlantic weather (mostly between 35-45F...
