Having moved to central Florida two years ago, we found out how hot our attached garage gets in the summer. Going through the door from the house into the garage is like walking into an oven, and the interiors of our vehicles we keep in the garage are also like ovens. After recently purchasing...

My On Board Charger failed on my lower mileage (30,000 miles) i-MiEV “Purple” April 2017 and was replaced under warranty. I posted my concerns at the time but did not receive any feedback on this forum. I recently sold my other 56,000 mile i-MiEV “Silver” and was glad the On Board Charger had...

Here's the brochure for the 2018 i from Mitsubishi-Motors.com. https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/showroom/i-miev/catalog/pdf/17_5my_i_miev_g_exp.pdf I'm happy to see it, but I can't believe Mitsubishi is still producing this car! Mitsubishi added a regen paddle, but I've found I only use...

What we like about our Chevy Bolt so far, besides the 238 mile EPA range, is how much fun it is to drive with one-pedal driving and 266 lb⋅ft of torque. It's very comfortable, roomy, and has a touch screen Infotainment center with Apple CarPlay.

A week ago one of my 2012's would not charge. I connected Canion and it showed that all 88 cells were the same voltage, ruling out a bad battery pack. When I connected the EVSE the fan would start on the battery pack as usual, and the EVSE would indicate charging, but would shut off after a...

After my driver seat heater failed last November I bought ... Aftermarket heated seat cushions. These are inexpensive, install quickly, have both a high and low setting, heat both the bottom and back, stay on all the time, and are made out of real cushy velour. They use 40 watts each on the...

The odometer readings were not much different: 42.5 miles with worn out Dunlops (all three runs) 42.3 miles with new Yokohamas (all four runs) 42.4 miles with new Dunlops (all three runs) 42.4 miles with 5,000 mile Dunlops (one run) But I was not concerned with the tire diameter or the...

Agreed. I recently mistakenly overinflated a tire on an electric scooter and the tire sidewall failed while riding it because the tire could not flex. My experience with all four Yokohama AVID ENVigor Tires compared to all four Dunlop Enasaves: There are many differences in the two tires...

The DC amp reading we get from Canion is about 1.0 amps low. The on board charger takes alternating current (AC) from the EVSE and converts it to direct current (DC) going to the traction battery. Heres's the AC from the EVSE. (244.85 volts)x(13.31 amps)=3,259 volt-amps or about 3,250 watts...

It looks like onlinetires.com has the lowest overall price. I ordered my Dunlop Enasave's from tirerack.com and they were just under $600 with shipping.

Can they disconnect the AC compressor so that you can still run the car? There are two connectors to the AC compressor. Connector A-111 is three wires; 12V dc from a fuse, ground, and a control wire from the AC control unit. Connector G-20 is the high voltage connector from the traction battery...

Yes. Mitsubishi's price for replacing your AC compressor is ridiculous, and Mitsubishi should be ashamed to charge so much to replace a part that fails after three years. I looked up the part number 7813A585 and it is over $3,000 on parts websites. You can buy a brand new Nissan Leaf AC...

According to Firestone Complete Auto Care, on average a car battery lasts 3 to 5 years, and our 2012 Mitsubishi i 12 volt lead-acid batteries are over three years old. However, since our 12 volt batteries are not required to crank out starting amps, I'm hoping they will last longer. I've...

This is my second summer using the EGO 56V Lithium Mower from Home Depot. It's now $399.99. It has a 4.5 out of 5 customer rating with over 1,000 reviews. http://www.homedepot.com/p/EGO-20-in-56-Volt-Lithium-ion-3-in-1-Cordless-Lawn-Mower-LM2001/204746234 To avoid the heat, I usually mow...

Fantastic video Martin! Essential tools include a voltmeter and torque wrench. Were any other special tools required? There have been some battery cell failures on this forum. Do you charge outside in the cold in the winter? Thanks, Bob

Fantastic pictures Martin! We would love to see the video of your cell replacement.

The cell replaced in Malm's drawing is here: Perhaps the front and back groups of LEV50-8's are reversed? The battery pack is composed of ten LEV50-8 battery modules with eight 3.7V LEV50 batteries and six temperature sensors each, and two LEV50-4 battery modules with four 3.7V LEV50 batteries...

Without the doors you have no music, air conditioning or heat. Would you be interested in selling?

I drive my car on the grass in the back yard all of the time. If you park with the doors and the rear hatch open you can get good outdoor music from the speakers in the doors. If water gets inside the car it will kill the electronics. The cars computer is located under the back seat, and...
