Well, I'm 90% gone to another car as well. My wife loved the Leaf. I didn't buy one yet because my son lost his job a few weeks ago. I'm kind of waiting until his situation is settled before locking into a lease or car payment. Maybe that means I'll finally actually look at an iMiev -...
Yes, I find it hard to believe that something as boring as the Smart and Think made it to market and the more interesting and innovative options of the Aptera and Evaro did not :( Here is an image of the sort of car I was interested in. Compare that to the Smart.
There is, EV Now. You can override that, if I remember right. Actually, I think the the Volt is the best car for a single person or single car small family right now. I would go with that, if I didn't already have a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid for the family car.
What I really want these days...
Well, even if Mitsubishi wants to sell them in the USA, their dealers's don't! At least the one closest to where I live won't.
I had my wife's Ford Fusion Hybrid in for service at the Roseville Automall. So, I decided to walk over to the Mitsubishi Dealership there and talk about the iMiev...
Not directly on topic, but having to do with the misleading info being put out there.
I ran across this comment in a story. (It also had the comment about how low Miev sales are.)

Another black eye came last month from Kelley Blue Book...

If you were anywhere closer to where I live, I'd be looking to you for buying one. Appreciate the response. If the Momentum Dealership in Fairfield, CA had bothered to bring the car to the show I was at, they would have had first choice for my business, but as a no show, I'll be...
Yes, that is the one. And they had one there which was very impressive.
Probably the guys best line in his presentation was the reaction to the $80k price.
"Most guys say they would never spend $80K on a truck. I just tell them that they already do."
Then he proceeded with a very excellent...
I am becoming more and more convinced that statement may well be fact. Actions speak way louder than words, but I'm not seeing any action or words. I just got back from attending a wonderful EV event where I learned a lot.
Mitsubishi was suppose to be there with the iMiev, but they didn't...
If I buy this car it will not be called the Miev.
I haven't even figured out how to pronounce it yet.
I've only had a few cars that got a name.
The old '59 Chevy we called the "Boat".
Had a cute little blue car we just called "Baby Blue".
I want the brown Miev and the "Bean" sounds good.
Or...
I also found it hard to convey in the Survey what I want in terms of Fast Charge Locations.
One of the things I remember vividly from my trip back East was the Turnpikes.
They had locations all along the Turnpike where you could get off the Turnpike without exiting the system.
These locations...
I RSVPd to attend the event I copied below. Looks like a good chance to see and learn a lot all in one place. :)

Want to learn about plug‐in electric vehicles and electric vehicle chargers?
Come spend the afternoon at the Kroc Community...
I know this is a MiEV forum and I plan to wait until I can test drive the 2014 before making any final decisions, but I'm also quite interested in the Chevy Spark EV. With 20 miles more range and some of the other features I'm reading about, I might decide it is worth the 2k or so extra...
I can't even figure out what the proper pronunciation is suppose to be.
Is the "Mi" part suppose to be pronounced like the "Mi" part in Mitsubishi?
And the "ev" part as the actual letters like long E and then the name of the letter?
Like in "Electric" "Vehicle" but just pronounce the Letters...
I completely agree with the smaller batteries being better for most of us. 60 miles of range is plenty for my needs and I don't need to pay for more. However, the majority of consumers, try to make the car do everything they might ever need. So, 99% of the time, they are driving a much bigger...
