The article mentioned the cost difference, but failed to quantify the $10K delta. I'll vote to keep my $10K ($35K vs $25K before incentives) for that extra 20-mile or so. Although the iMiEV is "just" enough for my daily 50-mile round-trip + 2200 ft elevation climb. That extra 20-mile extra...

I usually find that the plug at the ends are the limiting factor, as they tend to be warmer than the wire itself. While small gage still works and within spec, I would rather go larger size to reduce wasting watt-hr by conductive heating. A larger cord, like 12 or 14-awg runs cooler, thus less...

was some of the AC air divert to the pack ? wow, 115F, toasty indeed. Do you have Canion to show pack temperature ? Thanx

since you can still charge the vehicle with the cable as is, my guess is that the EVSE (charging station) is not getting the "pilot" hand-shake on pin#4, to turn on the ac power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772#/media/File:J1772_signaling_circuit.gif I am interested to learn if the...

For vehicles in hot climate, I wonder if the flapper mod to divert cool AC air into the pack would mitigate the temperature degradation ? discussed in the "Passive Cooling" thread: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=23161#p23161 of course the range would be reduced, but it's worth...

thanks for the info about the 30-31C threshold. Is there a cabin air filter ? I am a little concern about dust/dirt collecting over time with the air flow through the battery pack ? a quick scan through the manual didn't show it Thanks

Does any body know how Siai connected his fast DC charging ? can that same connection used to augment DC power while driving ? causing the computer to think the car is going down hill or a gradual down grade ? I am thinking of a setup of towing a small diesel 1-cylinder generator, adding...

I have removed the damper controller and mostly set the damper to direct the flow into the battery pack. My thinking is that I can control the flow using the console lower vent setting to meter the flow. Two surprising events happened and I am wondering if any one can confirm: 1. Upon...

Quick charge from Mexico border to Oregon. Hopefully it will not just eVgo and within iMiEV 50 miles interval...

try ebay. We needed one for the Prius and it was way less expensive

on my setup, LX + Galaxy4, the ignition key has to be on for the LX to transmit. And the pairing is lost if I run CaniOn before turning on the ignition key, in which case i have to re-link

I removed the two screws and 1 electrical connector per siai47 and everything became obvious. One advantage of going the mechanical route instead of the electrical bypass, is that the damper can be set to partially direct air to cabin and to battery pack. But I have to make it a point to set...

Joes, Your combined EV mile capability exceeds a Tesla S range. I thought about getting a second iMiEV to do the round robin ;)

Captain SE Ohio, I couldn't get to your fb page to see the photos ? so you are carrying the extra weight back & forth ? with the panel on top ? would a pseudo sine-wave work instead of a pure sine-wave converter ? I was thinking of doing something similar to your setup, except with...

hi all, I am finally at the point when I can start tinkering with the iMi. I am going to start with aero mod since most of my driving is highway speed. The easiest was to remove both wipers, but kept the driver wiper in the back with a 14mm wrench in case it rains. That's a fat chance in...

slightly OT: so if the battery cooling fan only draws air from the cabin during charging, we should not charge with the car parked in the hot sun with the window up then ? the fan would just be sucking in hot air ??

hello everybody, I finally move up to the Canion world, it's truly eye-opening. So, like everybody else, my cell 64 is high, actually usually the highest whether charging or driving. It was around 85F outside today and cell64_T showed 36C after charging level 2. It got up to 37C/99F by the...

I am definitely going to do some aero mod, though I think the gain depends very much on your driving application. I believe highway speed would benefit most with aero mods, and not so much for around town. A recent experiment with my '99 3-cyl Chevy Metro gave surprising & encouraging result...

hi all, thanks for the responses. I've only tried with level 1, and next to passenger sail window. There is also no descending tone, actually like 3 upward bleeps, then the whole screen flashes, then just "error". It sounds like a trip to the dealer, it's not making contact. -Paul

hi folks, I've exhausted the "search" on the forum so I am posting for help. No matter what I've tried, the Remote always blinks the dreaded "error", even if I am right next to the car. I've tried waiting the 10-sec and push on again. It's as if the iMiev is not responding. suggestion ...
