The Lectron adapter works like a charm once DIP2 in the Tesla HPWC was flipped to the other position (was in position 2, moved to position 1).... Adoepner, thanks for this information. I also have a Lectron which worked with the Tesla HPWC and my Kona Electric but not the i-MiEV, until I took the H...

Recently we've had a resurgence in spam posts; in addition, in the last day we had a couple of posts from one new username that had fairly sophisticated entries which were seemingly on-topic but contributed absolutely nothing. One of our members reporting it suggested an AI bot. I tend to agree, and...

When I get an ERROR after hitting the SEND button, I find that waiting ten seconds before hitting the SEND button again usually works. This most often happens when the car is plugged into L2. Had you previously enabled timed charging using the REMOTE, or simply plugged in the car and (gasp) let it c...

...I have just started using canIon with my recently purchased Peugeot Ion. I am really impressed by the app - it has so many features. However I have experienced a couple of issues: - I wasn't able to install from Google Play store because it said it wasn't compatible with my OS - The OS sometimes...

Met up with Jay this last weekend at the 10th annual National Drive Electric Steilacoom festival, where he showed off his i-MiEV with pusher trailer, his Kia Soul EV , and his Ford Ranger EV which he enjoys pointing out was Ford's original 'modern' all-electric pickup truck. That pusher trailer is a...

Epilogue... I ended up selling the Setec V2H to a gentleman from Pennsylvania who has a 2015 Leaf . He was out here in his ICE car visiting family and rented a Leaf and we set up a demo in his hotel parking lot with a dummy load and it worked very nicely as expected. I sold it at a loss and will sti...

Maun, welcome to the forum. I took the liberty of translating your post. To answer your question -

In California, the dealer quote for a new OBC/dc-dc (don't know which part number) for a 2012 i-MiEV a couple of months ago was ~ USD$5200, including 9.125% sales tax but not including installation.

Phximiev, excellent point about paying attention to the upper temperature operating limits of not just chargers but all equipment used outdoors in your terribly-hot summers. I corrected my previous writeup (above) as I had incorrectly read what you properly wrote and thought you had actually purchas...

Edit: I had incorrectly read Phximiev's entry (above) as his having actually bought a NOCO NLP30 battery, and my writing below reflects that. I'm leaving my discussion as it is still applicable in case anyone is considering installing a "12v" LiFePO4 battery into the i-MiEV (remember, fro...

michael8554, thank you very much for your post. It is a reminder to all of us who have become complacent with our high-mileage i-MiEVs being 'maintenance-free' that we really ought to take care of our workponies once in a while... For convenience in keeping it all together, I merged your posts with ...
