The DC-DC converter decreases the direct current high voltage of the main battery to approximately 14.4 V to supply the electric power to the electric component and for charging the auxiliary battery. System configuration When the EV-ECU inputs the operation enable signal into the DC-DC...

The on board charger increases a single phase AC for home to 360 V to charge the main battery. Construction The on board charger monitors input and output voltages, current and pilot signal. If detecting the abnormal conditions, the on board charger should stop a charge. The three temperature...

I have stated some of this before in this forum and other places. The BMU uses the information from the CMU or the sensor to know the main battery condition. The BMU sends the information to the EV-ECU through the CAN communication. Input and output pin configuration of BMU connector: 1...

August 27, 2013 In other posts we share ideas on range extension and drag reduction. Here's one answer. No EVSE needed here. This car would fail most of the EPA tests. http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2013/08/panasonic-announce-tokai-university.html

Right. If you need a longer cable, use a thicker wire cable with a smaller wire gauge (AWG) number.

Does your new car charge okay without the noise? I get the "fan noise" every time I plug in any charging station, UNLESS something's wrong. I have had a ground fault, the ignition key on READY or a power switch turned off which prevents charging. As soon as I turn the power back on, the fan...

13,000 happy miles in 10 Months The above graph is from my credit card company showing how much gas I bought last year, 2012. I got my iMiEV on March 11, 2012. I drove a one thousand trip in my 15 MPG Jeep in April. WARNING to iMiEV OWNERS: Gasoline turns bad with time and temperature...

When I turn the key to START and quickly put the transmission in DRIVE, the READY will not come on. Going back to PARK and turn in the key again is not enough. I need to PARK, key OFF, START wait one second for READY before DRIVE. This is one clear advantage of the iMiEV. It takes only a second...

How To Reduce Electric Car Charging Costs: http://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/how-to-reduce-electric-car-charging-costs.html Wrong! The energy cost is about the same. The EPA says a Gallon of Gas has the energy of 33.7 kWh which I now call a "Gallon of Electricity." $0.11/kWh x 33.7 kWh =...

Wow! Thank you for sharing. I also like your: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90017706@N08/8176438658/in/photostream/lightbox/ I'm hoping you will share additional insight into the working of the i-MiEV.

The over voltage protection, MOV, and the 12v supply in the OEM EVSE needs to be changed.

I am impressed. This group is making great progress, and I want to help. I have the premium i-MiEV with 10200 happy miles, an OBDLink SX, and a dual core Intel T3400 2.17 GHz Acer Aspire Laptop with 4GB RAM and 32 bit Vista7. I currently have two issues: 1. The OBDLink connects thru the USB...

I signed the "Customer Disclosure Form" twice but never had or wanted an inspection. The "Customer Disclosure Form" says: "... B. Site Survey Required: All Mitsubishi “i” buyers are required to order a site survey from AeroVironment or the Best Buy Geek Squad in order to verify the suitability...

Wow. You got me pegged; except, I don't own a garage.
