Simply bumping this thread as a reminder that replacement of a 2012 OBC with a newer one is possible...

Ceregarak, congratulations and thank you for the update.

https://cleantechnica.com/2022/12/11/lectron-to-provide-tesla-nacs-connector-evse-for-aptera/ Good enough for me. Back to affordable EVSE's for our little Mitsubishi i-MiEVs: 16A @240vac and 12A @120vac are all that's needed. I haven't even seen 14A @240vac being drawn by our i-MiEVs.

Sadly, this thread was started by someone merely trying to advertise this Lectron product. I've been notified that this spammer has posted the link across several other EV forum sites. wmcbrine's response above is spot-on, and I agree that this product is overkill and IMO too expensive for our...

Hello renard21, and welcome to the forum. I just realized that you had posted in the Tech/Reference subforum which is Read Only and no one could answer you. Just now moved your post into this General Technical Discussion subforum, and now hope you will receive some responses.

@jemsnixon, are you the same person as @joemm210? If so, I had tried contacting you regarding the Remote so please PM me if you're still looking for one. I wouldn't expect anything with a battery or electronics to work 'normally' at -40°C :shock:

Macaron1, a nice piece of superfluous information that does not include the i-MiEV nor triplets, leading into the link for on-board-chargers that you're hawking. Normally I would classify this as spam and say goodbye; however, these products might actually be of interest to many on this forum...

MickeyS70 had mentioned this in another thread, so I thought I'd post it here as well as his slightly-edited follow-up response to a PM from me. Thank you, MickeyS70! Also, I've updated the description and links in the Tech/Reference Articles (Read Only) to include this thread. Testing and...

Thank you MickeyS70. I've updated the description and links in the Tech/Reference Articles (Read Only) https://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4950

Came across this old thread. Just for the record, I've been using this Setec charger for the last nine months while my OBC had been broken, feeding it from a NEMA 14-50 receptacle. Works very well, with a high-quality CHAdeMO handle. Stops charging at 80% automatically which is all I want for...

Orleans, never having seen negative °F with my i-MiEV, I'm not qualified to answer; however, the first thing I would do is plug the car in and activate the heater or defroster for about 15 minutes using the Remote to see if the heater itself is working.

Milwauken, thank you for your informative post. I moved it into this thread as it'll be easier to find in the future.

PV1, thanks for the writeup and photo - that wide-angle lens and shooting angle sure makes your white i-MiEV loom over the others. :-) I see that your energy consumption is almost identical to what I had measured for over 8,000 miles: 4.2miles/kWh, wall-to-wheels (not to be confused with what...

Poking around revealed nothing untoward so I continued driving with only CHAdeMO but I recently managed to pick up a used doghouse OBC which returned my faithful i-MiEV to full operation. Thank you all for your inputs.

Yes, this has been employed by Tesla for years at their high-usage stations (with a five-minute grace period) and Electrify America at this shopping center imposed a penalty fee after a ten-minute grace period. This particular Lucid Air owner not only charged to 100% but showed up nine minutes...

miggols99, thank you so much for your update! Delighted that you're staying with the i-MiEV and I'm somewhat envious that you have the opportunity to buy newer models (they're quite rare around here). Interesting about the heat pump, as that is considered quite a high-end product for electric...

@anasbob, that is some excellent advice from MickeyS70 :!: Here's the link for OBDII dongle and apps: https://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4936 Note that the onboard charger (OBC) is limited to a little over 3 kW, no matter how powerful the ac charging station is. The only way to...

So, we've been driving our i-MiEVs for exactly eleven years and between my wife and myself have put on over 150,000 miles on the i-MiEVs and another 90,000 miles on the Tesla. Never ever failed to get to our destination and not only never ran out of charge but also have never seen 'turtle'. We...

tonyfri, I also welcome to the forum. The i-MiEV OBDII port is incompatible with a lot of OBD2 readers - past history showed that some readers wreak havoc and can end up with some weird things displaying on our dashboard, with unknown consequences. Best to stick with proven i-MiEV-compatible...

Taupilz, welcome to the forum. The i-MEV triplets (Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Citroen C-Zero, Peugeot iOn) have proven to be very reliable; however, problems do occur. Modern-day cars are computers on wheels; whereas mechanically simple, the digital communications throughout the i-MiEV can result in...
