Hi all, it's been a long time since I've posted, but suddenly I'm having a major issue with charging. The car stops charging and the level 2 charger says charging complete even though it isn't. But if I either unplug and replug the the charger, or if I hit override all setting on the remote...

This website calculates your commuting cost and compares it to other cars. http://gis.its.ucdavis.edu/evexplorer/ It's very useful and the numbers are close to what I have calculated. You input your home address and work address and it will automatically calculate the "fuel" cost for 4...

I just came across this article that compares the aerodynamics of the Tesla model S, Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius, Chevy Volt, Mercedes CLA 250 and a 2001 Honda Insight for Hybrid. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1092373_aerodynamic-tesla-model-s-electric-car-wins-the-wind-tunnel-wars The...

I hit a very deep pothole and it sent my hubcap flying and bent my rim. Pics below. The Mitsubishi service person said he could try to bang it out but recommended I get a new rim, which costs $150 plus labor. He said banging it out could damage the tire. Any thoughts? The tire seems to be...

I hope someday Mitsubishi will adopt Nokia's Navigation system. I used to own a Nokia phone and it had the best navigation program I have ever used. According to this article, the latest software is available for Microsoft smartphones and will one day be available for iphones and android phones...

So just a few weeks after my first service I'm having charging problems. Starting last Sunday my car only charges to 15 bars. I've spent this past week trying different things to see if I can figure out what's going on. At first I thought it might by my Eaton charger because this happened right...

We should be getting lots of info this week about this Mitsu follow-up to the i MiEV: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/04/mitsubishi-ca-miev-and-gr-hev-concepts-peek-out-before-debut/ 186 miles on a charge. It'll be interesting to see battery size and car weight. I doubt we'll see a price this...

This ev and this video will get your heart racing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fJSMUXFwC8E Volar-e, Oh, Oh!

So, has anybody been driving their Miev in these crazy winds? I just arrived at work and drove through 30 mph winds with 55 mph gusts. A short part of the trip I was driving 55 mph. It was..........exciting! When the very strong gusts came I really, really felt it. I took my foot off the...

Find it here: https://voltheat.com/torso-heated-vest-liner.html It uses rechargeable batteries. The benefit of this versus plugin is that I can turn it on when I leave the office and by the time I get to my car I'm already warm. The downside is that if you use it on the high setting the...

I hadn't seen these videos before. Very well done and very positive! http://templeblot.wordpress.com/2012/12/08/mitsubishi-i-miev-my-first-drive/

This is a quote from the article below: So that means the Model S can go 180 miles in three hours, recharge in half an hour and go another 180 miles. That's damn impressive. I'm hoping the techies here can provide some detail on how Tesla has achieved this. Is heat and battery degradation not...

Jersey is going solar, who knew? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZVv2AcSESw

It seems that not every MiEV owner relies (solely) on the Range Remaining meter to tell them how far they can travel before needing to recharge. See this thread here: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=428&p=3649#p3649 What information do you rely on to plan your trips?

We've been getting some wicked thunderstorms here in the Northeast. There was a powerful one Monday night/Tuesday morning and we're supposed to get another tonight. Fortunately my MiEV didn't need charging that night. Any thoughts on whether it is safe to charge during such a storm? I assume...

Some Nissan Leafs have had their onboard charging systems damaged while charging on a G.E. home Wattstation. At least one Nissan dealership has warned its customers not to use these charging stations...

This video is a riot. "I-MiEV means sexy wild hair"! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up9egk0GEw4 I've also been able to dig up the organization's website. Very cool. http://ekomiko.pl/?lang=en

I've started to notice that my range remaining seems to be dropping much more quickly when I'm playing a cd versus using the radio or ipod. Has anyone else noticed this? Unlike the heater or a/c, it doesn't immediately reduce the range when turned on, but every time I use it on my trip to...

So I picked today to run the battery down to one or two bars as the owner's manual suggests. The car had about 30 miles range remaining after work. I took my 23 year-old son to dinner to a place about 10 miles away. On the way home I saw that I still had lots of bars and range remaining so I...
