At least on a 2012 i-MiEV to 2012 i-MiEV swap, there's no pairing procedure required. It took a number of driving cycles for the range estimations to adjust to the new battery's higher capacity, but it did so gradually and reliably. I've got a long thread posted about the process.

Tesla recommends 100% daily charging and leaving the charge cable connected with the LFP Model 3. Have any of you dug into the why? Did they pick a lower charge termination voltage, tweak the chemistry, just try to simplify the user experience at the cost of battery service life? I don’t see...

Congratulations and thanks to Dala! Your candor and genuine enthusiasm are greatly appreciated. Why would they supercede version 110 with version 100?

Congrats and yes, that seems a reasonable price for a new battery. The job should only take 3 hours in a proper shop, though I'd bet they charge 5. It took half a day on jackstands in my driveway!

An impressive $1k rebate on any used EV, and for low income buyers, $4k. Pre pandemic, I bought a 45k mile MiEV for exactly $4k! https://evrebates.sce.com/program-requirements

Sorry, already sold the one from my parts car, but I see one listed in the USA on Car-Part.com Stock #8J7617 Jay's Auto Wrecking USA-PA(Edinboro) Request_Quote 1-800-736-8214

Sjaber, did you find the inverter? Shipping would be steel but I’ll sell my spare now that I got a whole parts car!

Spousal support for one's bad habits is rare, but sometimes we get lucky... I have a salvaged 2014 blue i-MiEV hibernating in a storage trailer out back that has already supported a couple of forum member's repair needs, and disassembling it taught me a lot about the car. Anyway, last week my...

So sorry for your loss, but thanks for posting the opportunity here. If anyone wants to transplant the battery for range restoration, putting a degraded battery into the wreck could make a fun “Baja MiEV” project. I’d be willing to collaborate on such in the Seattle area. -Jay

With depths of snow preceding the depths of winter, my folks in Colorado came up with a nice solution for supplemental heat that involves no vehicle modifications or load on the traction battery. They use an Ecoflow Delta Max power station to run their camper on 120 VAC out in the wilds, and...

Oh, wow- sorry to hear of all the losses, Don. Here's wishing your family healing and a happier new year.

Approaching our ten year anniversary of I-MiEV ownership at the end of this mont, MR BEAN has racked up over 125k miles. The 2012 collision-salvage battery that I swapped in a couple of years ago at 106k miles has now given almost 20k miles of service in its second life, and after my wife’s...

Heck yeah, don't scare us like that, Don! Here's hoping that a tree fell on your egg or some other "well, shucks" sort of mishap!

Boffingham, it may seem boffo, but preheat the car on the defrost setting and you'll like the results much better. I can remove 2" of snow from the windscreen and get a toasty cabin too within 30 minutes.

Yes, I'll second Kenny's sentiments. Wouldn't want to let dealer incompetence prevent a warranty claim before the window expires.

Bravo, Ben! Siai47 started us down this path years ago, but a video is worth a million words. Why are you setting it up for ignition-on operation only? Since the ignition key must be off to commence a DCFC, I expect that the BMS will be energized whenever the relay is closed, and that the...

Sooper! Vital Stats on your M3? A friend recently bought an LiFePO4 M3 out of inventory in Seattle. First confirmation I'd heard of Chinese batteries going into US production...

Y'all prompted me to do a market survey again, and for a set of 4 EnaSaves, current installed at the dealer price is $708 Shipped from TIreRack, but not installed would set me back $771 Picked up but not installed at my local TRW Wholesale (on a pro account) would cost $637 The dealership is by...

No objections from here, Joe. There's also a competitor to the Bluetti coming soon, https://ecoflow.com/pages/delta-pro

There's nothing of that car left but the drive unit and dirty L1 EVSE- the car was crushed at least 3 years ago. I'm local and bought the traction battery, battery charger and seats out of it, waited some months and then offered to take the whole shell, but the Jokers at B&R asked $4500 after I...
