I just want to let everyone know my car has been charging great with the new 12 volt starter battery I installed recently until Saturday when I went to plug it in and nothing! I tried everything but no charging. I even tried 3 different EVSEs that I have and nothing. Then I figured it out...

Congrats!

It's beautiful. Now if we can convert that plane in the background to green hydrogen...

That sounds good. I just ordered a can so I'll be ready for the next time. Ed

I've been seeing some of the same issues. For me using the L1 evse seemed to work more often than L2 but right now with the new starter battery it's been working great. It charges on L1 and L2 just fine. I also lubed to park/drive selector but it's been a couple years. I may do it again...

Thanks for the idea here. I started off by dissembling and cleaning out the charge port but I still couldn't charge yesterday. Then I changed the starter battery today and tried charging and everything started working again. I'm just not sure for how long though. Since there's no error...

I'm starting to have some similar charging issues with my silver I-miev. It indescriminately stops charging maybe a half hour later giving me about one bar on the fuel gauge. I get no error codes on the dash and my aux. battery is about 4 years old so I may just change it just to make sure. A...

20 miles with a 1,000 pound trailer sounds pretty good. How aero was the trailer?

I did the same thing a few years ago. It was a great feeling!

With what new and used cars are being sold for this may be the best deal going.

My Bolt is waiting for it's battery but the car is working so well I almost hate to give it back to the dealer. In the meantime the wife put 19k miles on it helping her dad as mentioned above but her dad passed away in late January and then we put another 1,000 miles on it driving to his...

I admit that I like keeping junk around too. It can save you sometimes!

I'm coming up on 6.5 years since I bought my Silver I-Miev used. It had 2,100 miles when I bought it and it now has 62k miles. So I've put 60k on it myself but Mitsubishi did thankfully replaced the battery pack back in March of 2017. I thought I would be driving my new 2021 Bolt by now but...

Those Tesla evse's look pretty slick. The evse that came with my son's 2019 Leaf is a nice one too. It has a Nema 14-50 240v plug which you can find adapters for to change to any 240v plug or 120v plug. He uses it all the time as his main charge cable. All he had to do was install a 14-50R...

Sorry to hear about your wife, Don! That and your Daughter-in-law and son getting hurt and the car, that's a lot to take!

I just checked the current draw with my clamp on amp meter and it was 0.2 amps with the ceiling led light on then went down to 0.1 amps with all lights off and stayed that way for about 5 minutes. This meter only reads down to a tenth of an amp. I didn't check with the doors locked but I could...

I'm happy to see that most of your numbers match my new Lifepo4 battery. Mine is a AmpereTime 50 ahr I bought through Amazon. I bought this one because the brand has been around for a while and they had mostly positive ratings. The price was $220 plus tax. When it arrived it also had a...

I just bought a 12 volt, 50Ahr lithium lifepo4 battery with built-in bms for my mini-grid system in my home for general charging of misc. devices like cell phones, tablets, radio control lithium polymer batteries and some led lighting i have installed. I've had this system since 2007 since I...

Sorry I'm just finding this. :oops: I checked the charge port light when I got home and it was too large to fit in the I-Miev. I'm not sure about the quick charge port but it was a pretty specific fit for the Bolt. I'm sure someone could make their own light for less $ or find a light like...

Spring is fine with me too. Having a 2021 bolt I'm in no hurry either. My wife's father has been in and out of the hospital to the point that my wife has been driving over daily to help out and he lives 50 miles away. The net result of this means our Bolt has over 12,000 miles in less than...
