Hi Anasbob, In addition to the other posts: Both high speed driving and heating/AC are 'killing' your range. Estimated maximum range is highly dependend on your driving style and speed. For some comparison: I have an 2011 I-miev myself, and have to drive some 75 km. for my commute (mainly...

Hi Greenfox, I've been thinking about this question as well. I really like my I-miev, but although my battery is still quite OK (36,1 AH), it's not sufficient anymore for quite some of my trips. For my job, I have to travel to my workplace for about 75 km (mainly highways), which is doable in...

Thanks for your update, Tibor. I wil try first to mount a 220V outlet that is powered during charging, as described in this post: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2908. That wil fulfill my basic need. Being able to turn the EVSE on to use this outlet when battery is full might be...

Thanks footandmouth for your additional information and thoughts! It's right that I want to install a 220vac socket/feed in a triplet, piggy backing off of the 220vac coming from the J1772 socket. But I'm not definitely in need of hijacking the control pilot. I would like to run a 500W ceramic...

Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply and welcome! I will make some introduction in the near future. For the moment I'm working on improving the heating system in my I-miev. Inspired by this thread and TiborX' work on infrared heating. My current plan is to mount a 220V outlet in my I-miev, which is...

Reviving an old thread......: I'like to mount an inverter and/or make connection for infrared heating in the same way/on the same spot as (late) Aerowhatt did. Can anyone point me in to the right spot to tap into the 12V system in the engine bay? Some pictures would be great!

Hi jsantala, I would also like to install a 220V ac outlet in my I-miev with wifi or 4g switching, to be able to preheat my car in winter using a small ceramic heater: https://eurom.nl/en/product/heating/ceramic-heaters/safe-t-heater-1500/ . At home as well as at other charging points. Would...

Hi Tiborx8, Did you proceed with this project, and if so: how did you do that and how does this work out? I would like to install a 220V ac outlet in my I-miev with wifi or 4g switching, to be able to preheat my car in winter. At home as well as at other charging points. Would that be...
