MickeyS70, thank you for this. I tried Google Translate and copy/pasted the specific post from zero-c here: I implemented a cable conversion with a reed contact. I use a Zener diode that lowers the CP voltage to around 9V (vehicle detect). I also connected a rectifier diode in series so that...

I've asked our TechAdmin reduce or remove the restrictions of members being able to edit their past posts and am waiting to hear back from him/her.

@coulomb and @kiev, I've been reaching out to our TechAdmin to help us in this area, one of the things being to allow editing of our past posts. Waiting to hear back from him.

@Fisher, thank you for sharing your story. A diesel cabin heater has been popular over the years and should serve you well. Delighted the Ion is meeting your needs. Understand that you're using CHAdeMO (with some stations not compatible), but does your ac charger not work at all? Presumably your...

aeriola factor - ooh, that's a new one on me! Certainly, Tesla has worked very hard to reduce their cars' Coefficient of Drag, resulting in superb efficiency, especially considering their weight. As far as metrics are concerned, don't forget to separate Wall-to-Wheels (which is what the EPA...

It's marketing (perceptions) vs. engineering. With a vehicle that has a range of only 62 miles (100km) it would not be good to have a reviewer say that it stopped charging a less than 50 miles of range. Don't forget, this is an early EV and manufacturers have (slowly) at least caught up to...

Adam, thank you for your writeup and I echo kiev's congrats. for the good job fixing the OBC. You were lucky that you had a total cell failure and thus had a free main battery replacement with the newer-generation battery cells (LEV50N), which should last you much longer than the originals...

The locking technique uses something called a "sprag" and we had lots of posts about it. Sadly, in my brief search, it seems that the links to the drawings and photos are no longer working. Oooh, found one...

DGC52D, welcome to the forum. Delighted you're enjoying your little workpony for commuting, which it excels at. Wishing you many happy EV miles in this New Year!

What happens when you complain to the other brands, telling them that Shell Recharge works great. Do they have an active help line that you can call so they can remotely reboot the charger while you're there?

Opened up this new thread and moved the above posts in here from the App thread - https://myimiev.com/threads/smartphone-tablet-apps-for-i-miev-c-zero-and-ion.4936/#post-43753 Incidentally, added a number of Car Scanner screenshot on that thread, courtesy of Phximiev.

80,000km on your replaced battery, presumably with LEV50N cells, and still going strong - good for you! With the capacious and completely flat floor in back, our i-MiEVs are hard to beat as workponies. If it's relatively rust-free, I think your blue i-Miev would like to continue life with you in...

Jamie, thank you for your informative rundown and links. Looking with interest for future OBC alternatives and handling CANbus.

tomash85715, thank you for posting, but what a sad story! I'm further saddened that you didn't replace the i-MiEV with another electric car. Here is the link to the NHTSA TSB which covers ground rules and troubleshooting flowchart for battery replacement -...

michael8554, when the car was new it would stop charging within an hour after reaching 16 bars, with the power draw being a downward curve followed by a sharp cutoff. One of my i-MiEVs has a capacity similar to yours and I *think* I've seen maybe two hours when someone in the family...

Look where the center of gravity is. Your trailer's wheels are pretty far aft. My tongue weight is under 100# and my bare trailer must be at least 500#. I just lugged about 1200# of appliances and furniture a couple of weeks ago (forgot to take a picture) but kept all the heavy stuff centered...

TechAdmin, thank you for responding and we look forward to working with you. Good luck on this massive conversion of all the forums!

Parting with the remains of my old Saab collection, the i-MiEV is taking this EV conversion down to meet the cross-country hauler as this one is going to Indiana. Trying out our new website for placing images...

I'm afraid that our new forum software has caught us all off-guard. I've asked the Admin to introduce the changeover and discuss the changes and any issues. For example, My first attempt at clicking on a link to another post on this forum was unsuccessful. Looks as though we will now be able...

Um, would you be kind enough to tell us what is going on with the myimiev.com forum? A general post (in Off Topic) to everyone introducing the changes would be appreciated. Thank you. BTW, I cannot access a private message that I was notified I had received earlier today. Edit: found the...
