    batteries failed, car gone

    My 2013 base model had range of 80+ when I got it around 2016 or so. It had around 20K on it and I paid $5K for it from BMW dealer in san diego. I loved it for all in town operations here in tucson AZ but rather suddenly the range dropped to the 50s and the charge would not go past 80% with my...

    Lost a Bar Overnight First Time

    I now live in 85745 other side of tucson from 85715. I was in a sudden panic my main battery was failing a month before EIGHT year warranty runs out but now seem confident my car has two years PLUS a month to go. I was ready to trade it in tomorrow at the mitsu dealer. If you want to talk or...

    Lost a Bar Overnight First Time

    I am in USA and this is first I am hearing of extension. Does anyone have a link to confirmation of this?

    Lost a Bar Overnight First Time

    Worried about shrinking range on successive level 2 charges done at my house over last two years, I did a long slow level one two nights ago. It took 13 hours and got me 16 bars with 55 miles on countdown guess o meter. It had been 84 when I got the car with about 23K miles on it; now it's...

    The Magnet Hack?

    A guy on a FB forum suggests the placement of a flat magnet on the AC plug will make a level 1 EVSE put 14A into the car instead of 8A. I searched on here but only found one reference to this but no details. Can anyone confirm this? Thank you.

    When to be concerned about Ah number

    There is a guy named gary on the FB page for our cars; is that you? Yes I will look at canIon individual voltages when I get down to 3 bars and see what it says. Lately I have noticed that number 64 is running hotter than the others during charge. It is up around 29C while others tend toward...

    When to be concerned about Ah number

    I just found the readout on CANiON for my 2012 with around 25K miles on it. 35.6 is the figure showing after the latest level one overnight charge from factory EVSE. People on another forum seem to think it should be 42. At what point does mitsubishi replace the main pack under warranty? I...

    temp sensor and guess o meter

    Here is update: about ten miles into a full charge which came after a <2 bar fill-up both GOM and temp readout came back. Got down to <2 bars and filled up with my level 2 at home unit like always and lost GOM and temp readout. The fact they are both failing and returning and failing together...

    temp sensor and guess o meter

    Hi: My 2012 with 25K miles on it got a new starting aux 12V battery last year and all seems well with charging the big battery and driving range. All accessories working great. Suddenly last week, the guess o meter countdown miles stopped indicating at the same time the outside temp sensor...

    Re-mapping

    Kiev: Thank you for reply. In the course of airbag re-do, the aux battery was disconnected. I know this because both A n B odometers reset and radio stations were lost. But the countdown range changed A LOT and the car seems to be recalibrating itself ever since. I drove 15 miles since the...

    Re-mapping

    We now have E dealer here in tucson AZ where I took my car for passenger airbag today. That went fine but they suggest a $140 "re-mapping" of the charge system and cell management. I told them the "tank" would fill to 84 miles but it is burning off faster than that; their solution is this...

    Canion

    Just did first charge with canIon running and wondering what is normal and what is sign of impending trouble? The only numbers that looked weird to me were individual cell temp during charge. Highest was 34 degrees and lowest was 27. I cannot figure out how to attach image from my desktop but...

    LED headlights

    Read all four pages of this and still cannot determine which exact PIAA LED is the closest direct replacement for the incandescent Low beams in my 2012 i-miev. Can someone redirect me to the latest page or newest info? The PIAA page for application is broken. Thank you. --Tom in Tucson AZ

    Duosida EVSE

    To say my position on this "evolved" would put me in league with lots of politicians who "see the light" and switch sides. I hope that is not a bad thing to be criticized for. It is true that I burned up the server traffic with my machinations about current draw on L1 and then turned around...

    Duosida EVSE

    To summarize this so far: Justoneman is plugging a duosida rigged for level 1 120V into a 20A outlet which is downstream from a 15A breaker which is only barely warm after several hours. The extrapolated current draw based on how fast the car's gauge fills up could be 16A in fact? Why is...

    Duosida EVSE

    This helps a lot. Just to repeat and rephrase so I know I got this: The people who affix the AC plug be it a 15a or 20a are required by code agreement to set the square wave duty cycle down 20% from the max for that type of plug. Thus a 15A plug dictates a 12A duty cycle wave and a EVSE with...

    Duosida EVSE

    When you say, PV1, that "yours" pulls 12A, is it a duosida or some other aftermarket evse? What I have yet to see thus far is quantified evidence of duosida amp rate on both levels it claims to be capable of. I am about to pull trigger on buying one with a 10-30 240v dryer plug on it but am...

    Duosida EVSE

    Yes I totally agree with your conclusion that you are charging at around 13A. A killawatt box is under $30. It is useful all around your house to chase problems or control consumption, not just to measure your car charging. What we don't know is how or why your new EVSE has set itself to 13A...

    Duosida EVSE

    If the breaker is 15 and the duosida is setting itself to 16, that breaker should trip. Heavy or light wire has no effect on that other than to waste energy by heating up and melting. If the wire is rated for 10A and the breaker were rated for 20 and the EVSE is pulling 16A, you will have a...

    Duosida EVSE

    Trailblazing is a learning experience and you are forging ahead where no man has gone before at least with i-MiEV. Until you put a Kill A Watt box on that plug it is impossible to know the amp rate unless you use a Canion app on your phone with a $50 dongle plugged in to the OBD port under the...
