40.8Ah after sitting 2 1/2 years at 80% SOC isn't just 'very good' - It's neigh onto a miracle! Usually, a car sitting at such a high charge for even a year would have lost much more than that - I have two cars to prove it Don

Same here, and the Volt sure didn't have it! After 20 years of owning a Miata, I needed a hip replacement for my left leg. The iMiEV has spoiled us for life with how easy it is to get into and out of - Very hard for any other vehicle to measure up to that. You should be able to recharge...

Congrats! Great choice and I'm sure you'll be happy with it. We had a 2017 Chevy Volt hybrid for the past 3 years and we found that faster speeds really ate up the battery range, so we got to where we ran the engine for all high speed trips and saved the battery range for the stop and go...

This guy drove from Jacksonville Florida to Ft Collins Colorado in an ID.4 and he was able to charge at 125Kw at most every EA charger he used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikheO2Nb3-k Don

No, you don't get a free one like Tesla gives you to be able to use the J-1772 chargers, but then the Tesla one is like $75 and a 'Tesla Tap' 50 amp to go the other way is $200. I ordered one yesterday. There are cheaper ones rated at 40 amps, but the car will use 48 amps when the destination...

The car comes with 3 years of free EA fast charging and they have a few cross country networks already up and running. We have one station in Gulfport about 12 miles from my house, so I can even drive locally on free juice if I choose. You can drive from Jacksonville to San Diego along the...

Well, things change. I pretty much fell in love with the ID.4 the first time I sat in one . . . . actually, it was probably even before that as it has ALL the bells and whistles that are important to me. We sold the Volt and I have a deposit on an ID.4 - Headed up to Jackson with a check and...

The steel (or casting) Mitsu used for the rotors is pretty unique. If my car sits outside without being driven for just a day or two, the humidity (no rain needed) will cause the rotors to rust and when you go to move the car, it will have to break free before it will move and then you can hear...

It very well might be - Mitsu is famous for using the same parts on different models. When you know for sure, please post here so it will add to the knowledge base Don

I also replaced my sets of tires because of age - They were maybe less than half worn. They recommend replacing passenger tires every 7 years, but if your car lives outside exposed to the sun and weather, you might need to do it a little more often Don

Usually what those lights mean is you have a mismatched pair of tires - Very interesting that you have those 3 warning lights immediately after they took off one front and one rear tire - Did they repair the rear tire or replace it? If they replaced it, you should double check to see if...

Assuming she can find a 250 mile BEV for about the same price as a good used PHEV, I would agree with you . . . . unless she has a few cross country trips in mind. True, you can do those in a BEV too, but until charging stations get a bit more convenient, a BEV wouldn't be my first choice In a...

For what you describe, the average retail of $6,900 would be a good deal for you, assuming your friend is willing to pay that. I would be happy selling it for $6K to a friend, if it was mine We have a 2017 Chevy Volt and around town it's about the same as our iMiEV's - We get about 60 miles...

It'll probably bring a decent price then, but I think $12,750 is still quite a stretch. As much as I love iMiEV's (we have 3) I would be very reluctant to spend that much on a 10 year old EV which the manufacturer has discontinued and has no warranty left. It would be interesting to know what...

As EVdude alluded to, any remote you find will have to be paired to your specific car and that process is what the dealer is calling an 'installation'. They probably have a one hour, $125 minimum to perform that - Hopefully they know what they're doing and can actually get it done in an hour...

Is it just me, or does that pretty blue look a tad faded?? I for sure wouldn't even think of paying anywhere near the asking amount unless the capacity of the traction pack can be verified as being near the factory capacity. As many of us here know, storing the car nearly fully charged for...

Very good question - I'm not certain as to the answer, but I will relate that just once in 8+ years I did plug in the car to charge and the internal fan failed to do it's thing, but the car charged anyway - I listen for the fan every time I plug it in and this was the only time it didn't...

Still, it's one thing to pay $7500 for a battery for a $10K to $15K used Chevy Volt to get it back on the road and quite another to pay 'north of $5K' for an iMiEV battery when you can buy a good running car complete for less than $5K - Would you rather buy just a battery or a whole car for...

Blame me - I bought 4 sets at $9.99 :lol: Don

I'll add my 2 cents worth (maybe even 50 cents worth) here too. We have three iMiEV's and in almost 10 years, there's never been any need to visit a dealership except for factory recalls, which have all been handled at no cost. It's not at all unusual to drive an iMiEV for several years and...
