MR BEAN has begun to show a startup anomaly similar to when one switches the key through START too quickly or moves the gearshift prior to the READY light illuminating. The car makes its happy chime but does not illuminate READY, and the State of Charge gauge starts off empty, then the bars...

Here's an article from the mainstream automotive press highlighting the benefits of compact, low range EVs coming out of China. This 26 kWh/105 mile Dacia Spring for $18k net would draw envious glances from many of the Seattle Subaru drivers (though it's just FWD). Euro-Cheapo EVs

I picked up the jellybean display from my local dealership years ago, but they were far more reluctant to let go of the neon green video display. Well, I’m happy to report that with time and relationship cultivation plus the addition of a late afternoon pizza for the crew, the super rare point...

Starting a new thread, as though I rarely want to to spoil a hidden gen in online auctions, I'm happy to serve as spoiler to the salvage yards! If you're in the LA area and want some alloy wheels, this burned out i-MiEV with good wheels ought to sell for less than the price of wheels. (Fire...

Parts car #3 arrived this week, and for once as advertised, it runs and drives! It's a 2012 SE Premium with satnav, DCFC, heated seat, the works. Funny thing, it's silver, and I just sold my good front bumper valence to Brooks! But EVen though this car only has 24,000 miles, the battery has...

We know that the hackers here have the knack, but can an i-MiEV get the NACS? For those who haven't noticed, a tectonic shift has occurred over the past month, with the 'done deal' of a CCS1 "Frankenplug" future in North America upended by the legacy OEMs in favor of TESLA-cum North American...

https://electrek.co/2023/03/10/mitsubishi-going-electric-by-2035-with-4-new-evs-including-a-truck/ Of course, no mention of the previously-announced subcompact EV replacement for i-MiEV......

I am salvaging a blue 2014 and a silver 2012 SE. Sorry, both batteries are taken, no remotes. All silver SE body electronics and the parts other than the left front fender and strut are available (left doors and left rear fender are scratched), both bumpers and covers are good. This car...

Ok, my search skills are declining because I thought there was a thread saying that the data connector had been revised for 2014 such that some adaptation may be required to put one of those batteries into a 2012. Well, it's about time to make use of the 2014 battery in my parts car, and I'm...

:evil: I had used the 1st gen Outlander PHEV as a loaner car during our OBC replacement and was quite impressed, so eager to see if the redesigned ‘23 with seven seats had improved the rear row in comparison to the jump seats in the back of a previous generation gas Outlander. The answer is no...

I need one of the 15 x4” front alloys to replace a hub-bent rim that’s too far gone to repair. Bonus if it still has good rubber! Plz PM Thx, Jay

There's a black 2012 ES with 74k miles in Chicago currently asking $1900. I've done the research and spoken with the seller already, so let me know if you're local and ready to go grab it. Shipping to Seattle doesn't really justify...

Here’s a neat peek at all the baubles for these babies back at their home. https://manualzz.com/doc/4993035/%E7%94%A8%E5%93%81i-imiev-09-06-

https://insideevs.com/news/613132/tata-motors-tiago-affordable-ev-launched/ A subcompact 4 door hatchback with 19 or 24 kWH packs, 45 or 55 kW of power, $10k or $15k approx price. But not for the USA, no doubt!

Of course Mitsubishi bungled the marketing of I-MiEV and blew the potential of Outlander PHEV in the US market, but at least the vehicle reliability and durability has been superb. Other corporations with lesser designs are compounding their shortcomings with poor handling of warranty and...

Tesla recommends 100% daily charging and leaving the charge cable connected with the LFP Model 3. Have any of you dug into the why? Did they pick a lower charge termination voltage, tweak the chemistry, just try to simplify the user experience at the cost of battery service life? I don’t see...

An impressive $1k rebate on any used EV, and for low income buyers, $4k. Pre pandemic, I bought a 45k mile MiEV for exactly $4k! https://evrebates.sce.com/program-requirements

Spousal support for one's bad habits is rare, but sometimes we get lucky... I have a salvaged 2014 blue i-MiEV hibernating in a storage trailer out back that has already supported a couple of forum member's repair needs, and disassembling it taught me a lot about the car. Anyway, last week my...

A boost battery for occasional road trip use, or to prop up a degraded pack has long been on this community's want list. There finally appear to be some practical options, one example below. First, the Bluetti AC200P ]has 2 kWH of LiFePO4 batteries in a 67 lb package that includes a pure...

If any of you Americans still get a Sunday paper, page 6 of today’s Earth Day commemoration in Parade features a blurb which reads “ They’re driving electric cars to reduce air pollution in New Jersey. Learn about electric cars at energy.gov.” Of course the photo they used is of a Euro-spec...
