Hello, Has anyone tried the Smart Line AP900c? This is a can bus model with a harness available for the i-MiEV. It looks to be all electronic with no servos. About $321 shipped from: http://www.shop.brandondist.com/Smart-Line-Cruise-Controls_c97.htm Or as low as $259 shipped at...

JoeS, I see that you have other EV experience. If some of that is experience is from doing you own conversions, I caution you not to project those experiences onto the Mitsubishi product. Unless you actually know what the Mitsubishi engineers did in coming up with their design, please don't...

JoeS, I leave my i-MiEV outside in the sun, just like I do my other cars. I know the limitations of my ElectraVan. It too was a commercially sold vehicle and the owner's manual is quite specific on its care. I am not transferring my ElectraVan experience and expectations to the i-MiEV. Just...

mixmike6, I don't know why the battery pack failed, but a some people in this forum said that they did. In Summary, they said, that: 1) I should never leave the car plugged in except when charging. 2) I should never leave the car sit for two weeks with a full charge. 3) I should only charge...

Malm, We certainly have different viewpoints on requiring exceptional care for the car. But, you bring up an interesting point about the blowers. You have a lot more experience than I do with the car, but I have never, ever, heard any blower run when my car was plugged in and not charging...

Thank you for all of your comments. I'll address this in sort of the reverse order. The idea behind leaving the car plugged is that I purchased the car expecting a robust design and to be able to treat the car as if it were any other. I am aware of the wisdom of leaving the lithium battery at...

Hello, I purchased my 2012 i-MiEV in November 2013 from a dealer in the Midwest with about 200 miles on it. I live in Phoenix. When I first got the car it charged to 15/16 bars. However after a few cycles, it charged to 16/16 bars as expected. I did a few calibration cycles only because...

Sorry, the price column on the work order is full of zeroes. I'll post my pack replacement experience under a new topic. Mike

Hello, Is there a chain covering defective pack replacement? I can't seem to find it with a search. I just replaced my pack under warranty with just over 2,000 miles on the car. I can post the details if someone can point me to the appropriate place. Thanks, Mike -- Phoenix, AZ

Thanks for the comments. We only use rear plates in Arizona. Mike

Hello, I've had my i-MiEV only a few days. It was one of the ones that a dealer bought to collect the incentives and then sold as a used car. However, in my case, the dealer wholesaled it to a used car dealer. The used car dealer knows very little about the car, so I'm asking the question...
