    Upgrading Heating System - Independent Battery Source

    Ok - side stepped the pusher trailer for a while - expensive helper project... BUT, I did order a cradle for my Dolphin 48v 11aH ebike battery from Luna Cycle.... Why? So I can mount the 10 lb battery in the car safely and wire it to a 48V heating element that I will mount someplace in the...

    Canion

    So here's the funny thing, I see posts from people saying that when they run Canion on an old tablet - they don't have any issues. So I grabbed my gen 1 Samsung Tab3 - and Canion runs FLAWLESSLY. No drops at all. I even took my sweetheart out to dinner last night for Valentines day. Without...

    3-Wheel Battery-Electric Vehicles

    It does look better than the Merlin - but I will stick with my Imiev for $8k - and still have 3 years and 88k miles left on the warranty 8-) Actually - if I could get a Morgan three wheeler ;-) http://www.maxim.com/rides/morgan-ev3-three-wheel-beauty-2016-3

    Canion

    I continue to have random issues of my odblink LX and Camion losing connection. I am driving and everything is fine, and then I look up and notice that Camion has not been recording. If I try and shut it down and restart the app, it will not reconnect. I have to remove the dongle from the car...

    Considering/buying a 2012 with less than 2K

    I can't tell if it has the CHAdeMO or not - but it hoes have the USB plug in! I had to order that from a mitsu parts distributor and install it myself. I nearly have 12k on mine now - lovin nearly every minute - except the heater side of things... then I remember I have never been to a gas...

    3-Wheel Battery-Electric Vehicles

    Much prefer the lines of the Merlin than the Sparrow. Wished they would revive the Merlin model in a coupe and convertible

    Forum private mailbox jams after 20 stored?

    Thanks - that's what I ended up witnessing. I was hesitant to PM a moderator - b/c I didn't know if they were going anywhere :D Thanks again

    Forum private mailbox jams after 20 stored?

    I seem to recall them showing as sent. Ironically, I would send a moderator a PM - - - - but I don't want it to sit in the outbox :lol: thanks!!

    Considering/buying a 2012 with less than 2K

    I just 'bumped' into the fourth Miev'r in the Portland area. With a 2012 black SE like mine, but without the quick charge option, which is fine for her b/c she never leaves town and commutes less than 3 miles. She got it off lease, out of the Seattle area (through the same CarMax lot I did)...

    Upgrading Heating System - Independent Battery Source

    I'm working on it ;-). If anyone has or knows of a wrecked 650cc step thru (Suzuki makes one) let me know ;-)

    Trailer Hitch Installation

    I'm hoping to get one of the Torklift hitches after tax time. Too many things going on this winter and only have outdoor installation possibilities. But looking forward to it. Either that, or may end up designing a slightly lighter weight version myself.

    My winter driving range has dropped a lot!

    When I speak to people about this, I get the most interesting questions - and it turns people off from electric cars in a big way. This winter, my little car has become very, very basic transportation - to work and back. There just isn't enough battery left if I use any heat at all. That is...

    Power consumption for balancing the battery ??

    If I had the range to spare on a daily driver, then I wouldn't charge to 100% either. However, during the winter months, I have used as much as 85-90% of my 36 mile round trip commute. I don't have the ability to plug in at work so I pre-heat in the morning, drive gingerly to work - about...

    My winter driving range has dropped a lot!

    I bought my 2012 as a 4 year old lease return with 1170 miles on it. I was banking on someone making a replacement battery pack for it someday ;-) I have been using a 12v blanket to keep the heater use to a minimum. I got it for $7 on clearance. It doesn't get really hot (like the seat seams...

    Canion

    Ditto - Their app helped me to understand my little car much better. I am in denial about my car's extinction. I hear the ads about the Bolt coming out, etc. The additional 150-175 mile range isn't worth the additional $30K to me. I bought my little guy at $8k, 4 years old with 1170 miles on...

    New Battery Technologies.

    My little miev doesn't need 300 miles on a charge. But having the ability to do more than the 40 or so miles I do everyday would be great. Right now, in order for me to make a trip, say to Seattle (about 175 miles one way) I stop at literally every charge station. Do I do this everyday, month...

    New Battery Technologies.

    Has anyone seen this? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154450902353020&id=138510433019 Still wondering if my little miev will be a planter box in 6-8 years or if we will be able to get new, more powerful batteries to increase our range. Thoughts?

    Home energy monitoring

    thanks - I don't have solar yet - this is to analyze our house for use. I saw an add for Sense, and how they said that each appliance had a "signature" so you could track the draw and usage of each appliance. And the fact that it was web based so I could view it from anywhere was convenient...
