Quick chargers??? Here in NYC I would be thrilled to find even an L1 or 2 anywhere..., that is not part of a parking garage. There are none in malls, theaters, sports arenas, workplaces, etc. What's a public charger?

I like the name "the juice".

Sounds like you saw no iMievs.

There isn't a lot of experience replacing iMiev batteries outside of warranty as the car is still so new. On here we have heard of maybe two owners with defective packs, but it doesn't seem to be as rampant as the degradation problems we have been hearing about on the Leaf.

I never hear my AC compressor while in the car...and never really noticed it outside either.

This is one of the biggest threads on the site. Why is there such an interest in non-standard wheels and tires? I don't get it. It obviously causes problems and decreased performance...I.e. Range.

Thanks for the insights... Usually, I back out of my driveway, but this particular night, I had parked at the curb and pulled away going forward. I don't remember if it rained that night. I have had the brake pad rubbing experience before with other vehicles when there was heavy rain and...

I don't see anything wrong with Americans, or anyone else, wanting to drive a vehicle that looks like and feels like an SUV, but is more suitable for everyday street use. I like my cars a little higher off the ground, with a little extra cargo space for easy in and out of bulky items...

The other day, I pulled away from my parking spot at the house, and heard a bit of a bang under the right front wheel. And as I let the car continue rolling, I heard a bit of a rubbing sound that repeated rhythmically as the wheels turned. The car had been sitting maybe 24 hours. The bang was...

All well and good, but............life doesn't follow charts. Have you ever been stuck in traffic in the middle of an ice storm, when it should only take you 15 minutes to get home, but it takes 2 hours? Hard to not use your heater, but even though you are creeping at 5 mph, you are spending...

with regards to the remote...make sure when you turn it on, you hold the button until you hear a beep, then let go. But when you send a command, press and release the button quickly, the beep comes later. This drove me crazy for a few months.

I had a rude awakening when trying to use these new cans after hurricane Sandy. Un_freaking_believable. That's all I have to say.

I assume you double checked that you have a solid ground.

...and I'm still using level one. ..

Alas, but I really don't think all this plug reservation, ettiquette, niceguy approach is gonna work. Charging at home is the best alternative. If you're lucky to get some Level 2 charging while at work...great. But DC quick charging at places like gas stations is the only alternative that...

I could see this as a cab in NYC.

I have found that some dealers embrace the iMiev, and some shun it. MMNA knows this and I bet they ship cars to the dealers that have a track record of selling them. I don't think this car does well in the middle of Kansas where a simple trip to the store can be 60 miles round trip. I...
