Michael8554, thank you for your update. Your CHAdeMO finish charge has crept up from 66% to 71%, an improvement. What is your Ah capacity? Since the car is new to you and its battery history is unknown, I would be inclined to baby it as much as possible to preserve what you have: * slow ac...

Michael8554, those charging rates are not out of line as the SoC gets higher. Your cells seem to be nicely balanced. What was the temperature at the time? Glad to see that Shell worked for you. I just noticed your location and deleted my own experience with our Northern California CHAdeMO...

Adoepner, thanks for this information. I also have a Lectron which worked with the Tesla HPWC and my Kona Electric but not the i-MiEV, until I took the HPWC apart and flipped Dipswitch2 DOWN, labeled as "Legacy" position (the Tesla HPWC manual says to always keep that switch UP). It's...

Recently we've had a resurgence in spam posts; in addition, in the last day we had a couple of posts from one new username that had fairly sophisticated entries which were seemingly on-topic but contributed absolutely nothing. One of our members reporting it suggested an AI bot. I tend to agree...

When I get an ERROR after hitting the SEND button, I find that waiting ten seconds before hitting the SEND button again usually works. This most often happens when the car is plugged into L2. Had you previously enabled timed charging using the REMOTE, or simply plugged in the car and (gasp) let...

Hi Nick, and welcome to the forum. My Android tablet and OS are about 10 years old, so I'm clueless as I only use that tablet for CaniOn. You might try contacting the authors , Martin and Xavier, to see if they're still supporting this free app - https://canion.soft112.com

Met up with Jay this last weekend at the 10th annual National Drive Electric Steilacoom festival, where he showed off his i-MiEV with pusher trailer, his Kia Soul EV, and his Ford Ranger EV which he enjoys pointing out was Ford's original 'modern' all-electric pickup truck. That pusher trailer...

Epilogue... I ended up selling the Setec V2H to a gentleman from Pennsylvania who has a 2015 Leaf. He was out here in his ICE car visiting family and rented a Leaf and we set up a demo in his hotel parking lot with a dummy load and it worked very nicely as expected. I sold it at a loss and...

Maun, welcome to the forum. I took the liberty of translating your post. To answer your question - In California, the dealer quote for a new OBC/dc-dc (don't know which part number) for a 2012 i-MiEV a couple of months ago was ~ USD$5200, including 9.125% sales tax but not including installation.

Phximiev, excellent point about paying attention to the upper temperature operating limits of not just chargers but all equipment used outdoors in your terribly-hot summers. I corrected my previous writeup (above) as I had incorrectly read what you properly wrote and thought you had actually...

Edit: I had incorrectly read Phximiev's entry (above) as his having actually bought a NOCO NLP30 battery, and my writing below reflects that. I'm leaving my discussion as it is still applicable in case anyone is considering installing a "12v" LiFePO4 battery into the i-MiEV (remember, from...

michael8554, thank you very much for your post. It is a reminder to all of us who have become complacent with our high-mileage i-MiEVs being 'maintenance-free' that we really ought to take care of our workponies once in a while... For convenience in keeping it all together, I merged your posts...

From MickeyS70: I’ve done a bit more in-depth testing of the Lexia/Diagbox clone (v7.58) I got a while back, here is what it can do with a 2011 built I-MIEV (pretending to be a Peugeot IOn or Citroen C-Zero) - display tons of parameters for each ECU - display and clear DCTs for each ECU -...

michael8554, sadly Aerowhatt has passed away - we miss him! Sorry, no pictures of his fan installation, AFAIK. My OBC/dc-dc died on a very cool winter night while charging at 13A 240vac. The cause-effect relationship of OBC failure and case temperature I don't think has been established. kiev...

Here's a Fully Charged video about the Sakura. Unfortunately, he gives Mitsubishi no credit for what I thought was a joint partnership development effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKoiqQtz3gU A very worthy successor to our i-MiEV triplet family, IMO, although they didn't show if the...

Using CaniOn, look for Ah (ampere-hours). When new, that number was around 45Ah. Expect low to mid-30s, a function of mileage and how the battery was treated. Your voltages show nicely balanced at the top end. How do they look at, say, 30% SoC?

tomwoodruff, sorry to hear about the problem using your old SPX EVSE. Have you tried using a different EVSE or a public J1772 charging station? if you are interested in troubleshooting on your own, you might have a look at this link to various apps and tools to get you started...

I'm afraid that the EV-ECU replacement was a dead-end. After we had replaced the known failed OBC/dc-dc with an unknown quality replacement resulting in inability to ac charge (dc-dc works fine) and lots of DTCs, she took it to the Mitsu dealer who cleared all the codes and they told her the...

kwhking, thank you for your feedback about the Monroe D7002 rear shocks. I've updated the entry that posted this part number. Sorry about the stripped nut. I'm curious, what was your repair solution?

wmcbrine, thanks for this video link. Even though this is a demo for CCS2, I'd be willing to bet that a companion CCS1 exists. Next step is to put an adapter into production for all us thousands of CHAdeMO owners so that we'll be ready for the NACS-to-CCS adapter, if no one comes up with an...
