It's not your heater core leaking is it? Perhaps the windscreen around the edge? Or check for any rubber bungs that are loose or popped out. See if you can trace the water from the bottom up and find the highest point that you can detect water. You carpet - foot well could be soaked but the...

I guess what I am getting at is while yes there is more to the Imiev design that is hard t market and just works well. Life is all about compromise and yes a small car at a price point has it's compromises. Though we shouldn't make to many excuses for the Imiev were they could have done...

I live in Australia and a small country town (That's street is always full as its a popular getaway town) They have the back in parallel parking rule in the main street and I hate it with a passion. Yes I can back my Imiev and my 4wd utility into any spot it will physically fit without issue...

Hey I own a Imiev an a can say 90% of what he mentioned in the video is true. The ride is rubbish and the handling is rubbish to. The interior is joke for what the car cost. The acceleration is crap from 0 -30kmh is average for tiny city car from 30kph - 100kph. The car has very little...

Yes the reported AH capacity is still something we don't understand. How where and why it reports the numbers. To know the true capacity of your car I feel the only 100% way is to test the weakest cell out of the car. I could understand the capacity growing and shrinking a little from winter...

There is one 2nd hand for sale on ebay at the moment. Or by chance is that your replacement that you could get to work on your car? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mitsubishi-I-miev-ion-c-zero-PTC-heater-combustion-heater-/321926337923?hash=item4af44e1583:g:jlgAAOSwo0JWJ9-O Kurt

I tried the heater temp feature of the latest Cannon today. The temperature in deg C doesn't look correct. It started out at 10C water temp. This cannot be correct as it's summer where I am now and the minimum temps over night are around 20C around 27-35C in the day time. The only way this...

Ok I assumed so considering the word (heater). I wonder if the motor and motor controller temps could be sniffed out. It would be more useful data than Heater water temps. Kurt

Is the "heater Temp" on Canion the temp of the cabin heater system? Or the cars liquid cooling system for the motor, controller & charger? Kurt

My discharge value was 154whr/1% Your taking about charge value. Yes that's why I don't pay attention to the charge number as the range of the car hasn't changed from new and my discharge number is very similar to others with packs that have little to no capacity losses. Kurt

Yes I like this thread to. I agree we need to all play the same game befor we can compare scores. :D We are all using Canion and a Imiev that's a start. Now I don't think it makes much differance if you measure 1% or 100% as my tests have shown me the isn't much error in just multiplying a 1%...

One issue with low charge rates is wasted AC kwhr's to charge the same amount of KWH's back into the battery Why? Well when you set your EVSE to charge at the the on board chargers full output (3300w) not all of it gets to the battery. A small portion is lost in the inefeciancy of converting...

Couldn't you contact Yuasa and see if they will sell you a single LEV50 cell. Just make out your considering starting a BIG project (stationary storage or EV projec) and you would like a single lev50 cell for evaluation and testing. 1150 Northmeadow PKWY Suite 118 Roswell, GA 30076 Toll Free...

Slightly.....more like drastically! In a peppy.... (ok I'm reminiscing the time I had a 700kg hatchback with 200hp) But in any ICE car You can give the engine some RPM and make the inertia of the clutch, flywheel and rotating motor mass work in you favor. Giving you that shock - slingshot...

I'm sure you could sit in your car and turn the wheel lock to lock until the traction pack went flat and repeat it each day and it would have little to effect on the cars steering components. The power assisted Steering rack, tie rods and so on are lot stronger than a set of 145 pizza cutters...

"I am thinking of the famous rule that says performance doubles every year while price halves. Therefore we have had at least four years on the original batteries,mothers should be something similar out there yielding for example to a 24 KW capacity while costing not more than 5000 USD ?" There...

I'm just trying to relate this to a conventional ICE car. Complaint... I have driven 100,000km over 5 year and my engine seems to have a little less compression and doesn't get as good fuel economy as it did when it was new. Response... Sure I can sell you a new car. We all don't want...

Small correction, 15,840whr not 15,840kwh. That would be bigger than a submarine traction pack ;) Kurt

I would be happy if we just had any public charging at all :lol: even the number ( slow charging outlets) you can count on one hand in a city of 1.5 million and a wider district population more like 3 million :roll: Talk about a lack of EV support in Australia. On topic... I think a fast...

Amp hrs isn't a very good (accurate) way to measure capacity as it's just load (amps over time). (whrs) is way more accurate as it takes the voltage current (amps) x the voltage over time. Even though a lithium battery has a flat voltage over its state of charge compared to some chemistry the...
