Orleans, never having seen negative °F with my i-MiEV, I'm not qualified to answer; however, the first thing I would do is plug the car in and activate the heater or defroster for about 15 minutes using the Remote to see if the heater itself is working.

Milwauken, thank you for your informative post. I moved it into this thread as it'll be easier to find in the future.

PV1, thanks for the writeup and photo - that wide-angle lens and shooting angle sure makes your white i-MiEV loom over the others. :-) I see that your energy consumption is almost identical to what I had measured for over 8,000 miles: 4.2miles/kWh, wall-to-wheels (not to be confused with what some e...

That's a good find Joe, it appears to be a real DTC in your case. Many times it seems that the U1xx CAN codes are caused by a low 12V starter battery. Did you look under the rear seat to inspect the wiring harness around the EV-ECU? Also look for rodent damage on the exposed harness section under t...

...However one measure here has dramatically reduced incidents of someone ‘hugging’ a DC charge point: providers slap on a hefty surcharge after 45min of use (10hours in case AC)… [/i]Yes, this has been employed by Tesla for years at their high-usage stations (with a five-minute grace period) and E...

miggols99, thank you so much for your update! Delighted that you're staying with the i-MiEV and I'm somewhat envious that you have the opportunity to buy newer models (they're quite rare around here). Interesting about the heat pump, as that is considered quite a high-end product for electric cars a...

... Whatever way you decide I would highly recommend to buy a recommended OBD II dongle (see discussions on this forum) that will allow you to test the battery yourself before you commit to buy. This will work with any EV and is a great way to get independent information on the state of the car… @a...

So, we've been driving our i-MiEVs for exactly eleven years and between my wife and myself have put on over 150,000 miles on the i-MiEVs and another 90,000 miles on the Tesla. Never ever failed to get to our destination and not only never ran out of charge but also have never seen 'turtle'. We have ...

What is a dongle? Are you talking about the charging plug thing? :shock: [/i]tonyfri, I also welcome to the forum. The i-MiEV OBDII port is incompatible with a lot of OBD2 readers - past history showed that some readers wreak havoc and can end up with some weird things displaying on our dashboard, ...

I am in doubt if i shall buy a drivable mitsubishi imiev car, the yellow light is lighting in the dash board, the workshop say "defect control unit HV battery" price to fix about 11500 NOK which unit are we talking about, can i fix it myself with knowledge from you guys? [/i]Taupilz, welc...
