Well, as an update to this, I rang ecotricity helpline yesterday morning and got the same chap I had spoken to on my first trip 2 weeks ago when I couldn't charge at Bridgwater or Sedgemoor (N/B). He confirmed that both Reading Chademos were 'off-line' but suggested neither were due to the wet...

So, I was on a trip W/bound on the M25/M4 (UK) today and had Chademo'ed 40 miles after leaving home with a full charge to 80% at Nissans HQ at Maple Cross, no issues. Got to Reading Services and had to get round to the E/b side as W/b Chademo was U/s, got the manager out to kindly open the...

Hi All, Firstly, misterbleepy - sorry I didn't see your reply. When did you buy yours? How many miles have you done, now? Please see my other questions at the end of this post... Hi, I thought UK readers might be interested in the following (I have already posted this on the EVDL, BTW) ...

Hi, If I can add my 2p-worth to the question of whether the 'fuel' gauge being full of segments indicates 16kWh of energy aboard or just 'fully charged'... For the BMMS (battery management AND monitoring system - some BMS' do only one or the other, not necessarily both) to decide when the...

For UK/EU readers the double din facia can be had here… http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Dynamic-Sounds-Ltd?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 … search for 'imiev' £140. There is another silver one available from HK much cheaper but probably not original. Even cheaper ones here (in both colours - silver £80...

Thanks for the info. MW

I have tried other Peugeot dealers further afield and have found some (quite a number in fact) 2011 ions all ex-lease and all with less than 2k miles and all for much the same price, £10k. Does anyone have any info on the Peugeot variants Vs the i-Miev or are they really exactly the same? MW

Yes, I have seen this before but it is nothing that can't be remedied with the right adaptor cable and I have made one for my Vectrix electric m/cycle that works fine with all the UK public EVSEs that I have tried so far, at least. But thanks for the info. The one I am seeing on Monday has...

Hello. I am off to see a used 2009 i-Miev (UK spec) on Monday. It has 9k miles on it and the dealer is asking £10k. What do people think of this price? Aside from the cost/worth issue, is there anything you think I should cover that is specific to the i-Miev? I heard the recent announcement...

If anyone in the UK wants a Mennekes (61296-2) to 13A trailing socket suitable for charging the i-Miev (and its variants) from any public (or private) Mennekes equipped EVSE (charging point), such as PoPoint, ChargeMaster, Elektromotive etc, I can provide a suitable adaptor cable for £150. This...

It is clearer than you think… as the Mennekes 'plug' in the photo is, in fact, a socket as in, the 'female' side. The 'plug' has very obvious pins (I'm looking at one now) whereas the one in the photo has - not so obvious - holes to accept the 'male' plug pins. Ergo, the current 'flow' is...

I hope no more than 13A as the cable does not look capable of carrying more than that for long! MW

Hi (new to list, so please be gentle), I converted a small petrol van to electric drive 3 years ago (evalbum.com/2092 if you're interested) and drove it very happily for 18 months until it got written off when I was rammed by a looter during the UK riots in August last year. I did nearly 14k...
