Welcome Aboard, Yootsvik! That will be interesting to see if your 31.9 Ah figure changes after a long-delayed calibration cycle. My car with similar mileage only rose from 28.9 Ah to 29.1 Ah 5000 miles after transitioning from careful grandma thriving to hellion granddaughter driving, but...

Howdy Matthews, I'm interested and local. Am sending a PM. Thx, Jay

Frud, I'm glad to see you here. I was the first in the USA to commercially repack LEAFs (using the discontinued ingenext/SimonAndre CANbridge) I also drive a 2016 SOUL EV, but it has only 20k miles on the warranty-replaced 30 kWH pack. Repacking the i-MiEVs is a higher priority, so I'll be...

Sorry Rearly, I only have a spare driver’s side (Left) signal.

Well worth a watch, and still wishing I had the time to provide this service myself! Regarding the capacity decay/recalibration issue, it's nEVer been an issue for us, given how hard we use the cars. A calibration charge is bound to happen often enough to nEVer notice any error. I've yet to...

A good set of alloy wheels in the LA area for $100 Buy It Now (with a burnt body on top). Could still be a buy before Thursday for a local owner with a trailer, just pop off a few parts n head straight to the scrap yard, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the battery actually has some good innards…

I like that idea to check for rodent damage, as that certainly is wierd for all the 12V loads to come on as soon as you connect the battery. As a side question- has anyone logged the DC-DC behavior when the MiEV is left for long periods, both plugged into an EVSE and not? I just found an EV...

Rolf, greetings from a catamaran sailor and former resident of Stavanger! Be sure to capture the trouble codes before any well-meaning mechanic clears them. Replacing the OBC with a salvaged unit is only a 90 minute job (but twice that time the first time you do it!). You could also make the...

Yup, plz PM you offer. -Jay

Hey Rearly, which lens do you need? I only have a driver’s side (left front) turn signal available at this time. -Jay

Rearly, sorry for your trouble. You didn’t post which lens you need. I only have a front drivers side (left hand) turn signal available. -NVM, I see you need the right side

I second Kiev's rule of thumb on 10% of mass= Wh/lb My dc series-motored Karmann Ghia conversion weighs 1850 lb and on a local loop that's perhaps 40% highway, with ABA testing of both cars, it and the i-MiEV both scored 180 Wh/mi!

Agreed, mallthus, it's strange that Jeff at CALMAX Fine Cars hasn't been very communicative or set up any sort of website. HowEVer, you haven't introduced yourself here either. We'd like to hear of your experiences with the i-MiEV and battery upgrade interest.

Supposedly the 2014/16 packs had greater capacity than the 2012's, but my original 2012 BMU doesn't recognize it, so I've not seen better range than the car EVer displayed when new (154,000 miles ago). I didn't open the lid to further investigate which cells are in this 2014 pack.

Some things don't translate well, but their press release is funny in any language, given how noisy the original i-MiEV drive system was! "The new electric motor produces a maximum torque of 195Nm instantly, so even when the vehicle is heavily loaded with cargo, it retains the smooth and...

Thanks for chasing this down, Reed. I had secured the license for doing these OZDIYEV upgrades over a year ago, and Jeff's price is right where I had landed. HowEVer, considering my time and garage constraints, I decided not to go forward with it as a moonlighting business, and was unable to...

I've done three pack swaps now, all Plug and Play, including a 2014 pack into my very early 2012 model. The 2012 with a '14 pack is not getting the full benefit of the later pack, but is driving with like-new range and charges up the later pack very conservatively and DCFC's very well. This...

I thought we had a permanent magnet (PMAC) motor. Anyway, the Pike’s Peak race car ran stock motors at much higher power levels and the inverters/ reprogramming gear was available to do so for businesses and universities at a high price, though I haven’t investigated again in the past decade...
