Well, there's this... https://thedriven.io/2021/11/11/local-electric-car-repairer-launches-imiev-battery-upgrade/

(Going through some of my old posts...) As of September 30, 2022, this program is dead. I had to remove the sticker from my car... and now I gotta think about touching up the paint. D'oh! I never did actually find a use for the HOV access, yet still somehow I resent the loss of my special...

Yeah but that home CHAdeMO costs like $3000+.

Is that due to worsening availability, or decreasing range of the cars?

I feel like this car is bound to be a collector's item one day (arguably the first EV model of the current era, relatively few around). But that day does not appear to be yet. I wonder if mine can hold on until then. ;)

There are "headlight restoration kits" available for under $10. Wipe on, wipe off. I can't personally vouch for them, but they've gotta be worth a try?

It'll work for now, but... https://cleantechnica.com/2021/09/22/electrify-america-to-phase-out-chademo-in-2022/ I've used it rarely, but there were a handful of times when I really did need it. Particularly with the i-MiEV's short range.

Tip: keep your registrar and hosting separate. I had zero downtime on my last hosting change. :)

I'd come to believe I'd imagined it, but here it is, probably the same blue i-MiEV that I saw very near the same spot six years ago (opposite my own white i-MiEV): I was just leaving the parking lot, and this car suddenly appeared, directly behind me. So I turned around and came back to grab...

Technically a no-engined car. :)

It's probably just a revision in the way the range is estimated. (By the EPA?)

I'm sure it's not replaceable yet, but I can't keep kidding myself that the decline I'm seeing in my range is only seasonal, or whatever. I was getting in the low 60's when I bought the car, then the 50's; and then today, I drove 45 miles and only had 3 left (supposedly). This with no heating or...

Having gone through a couple of more expensive EVSEs, I've abandoned the idea of future-proofing and am currently using a cheap ($200) 16amp Duosida, which is more than enough to charge the i-MiEV at its full Level 2 capacity. If I get an EV with a higher charge rate, I can always just bundle...

I just hope they've got it right this time. These recalls have been kind of damaging the whole EV project (not that they should, but the naysayers are really jumping on the story). I will sat the Bolt is still probably my top choice for my next car after the i-MiEV (but that could be a while).

I dunno... not selling != not supporting. They have to support old discontinued models for a long time, but I'm not sure exactly how long. It used to be that Mitsubishi had a list of dealers on their site with little green "i" beans to indicate those that were certified on the i-MiEV. I doubt...

Yes. Not really. http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3766

I took mine in for a recall, and right afterwards got a postcard saying it was time to bring it in for regular service. I was like, "Guys, if you wanted to service it, you had your chance." I haven't been back since. :D
