    i-MiEV's a part of National Drive Electric?

    This is cool. Even if Mitsu isn’t talking the meev, we are getting the little car that can out there. I am so encouraged to read about our presence across the continent (uh.. any owners you know of in Mexico?) I will try to take some video of our local event to put on youtube and encourage...

    i-MiEV's a part of National Drive Electric?

    I'm a city captain in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I've looked at some of the 180 cities across the country holding this event and they list electric cars participating in the Ride/Drive event. So far I haven't found any owners other than myself participating, let along leading the event. Please tell...

    hard to varying degrees to get my car out of park--

    Thanks all for the advice... The questions about how I parked and such proved to be where the problem lay. I'm pretty embarrassed to say changing how I parked and stopped, affected getting the car out of park when I started the car. I don't remember having the problem before getting the...

    hard to varying degrees to get my car out of park--

    When I first start my meev up... its been getting progressively harder to get the car out of park and into drive... Once I've driven a while if I stop and turn off the car and later restart it it is not too bad. Anyone else have that problem? Any suggestions on what it could be? B

    National Electric Drive Week, Kalamazoo, Michigan anyone?

    The National Drive Electric Week Kalamazoo currently has one Leaf, three Volts (a possible i3) and my i-miev for the ride/drive. Legislators in southwest Michigan want to hear from owners showing up at the event if there is a need to encourage level 2, even DCQC in Michigan. No fans of cars...

    Any I Witnesses?

    I had been commuting with Gregg the meev to Ann Arbor (actually Ypsilanti) from Kalamazoo this past week helping my brother in law after his surgery. I was hoping for charging near the hospital as I would be there several hours a day. Conveniently, charging was located at Washtenaw Community...

    National Electric Drive Week, Kalamazoo, Michigan anyone?

    Update: Flash to all Michigan voters... The 19th our state legislators are voting to block home owners and small businesses from receiving netmetering on solar electric. The ultimate goal is to prevent choice in power generation source. Please e-mail or call your congressman before the end of...

    National Electric Drive Week, Kalamazoo, Michigan anyone?

    Yep... those are the ones.. No, all of the complaints actually were not from treehuggers, but from supported Koch trolls. (really and truly.) I am critically embarrassed that the ev owners I met that did charge the cars there during the semester absolutely knew nothing about heat affecting the...

    National Electric Drive Week, Kalamazoo, Michigan anyone?

    I've gotten support from the local Sierra Club, Nissan Dealership, BMW and the local People's Food Co-op to help host a see/ride/drive experience in Kalamazoo, Michigan on that Wednesday. Right now we have my mighty Gregg (the i-miev), a couple of Leafs, a Volt, an i3 and are hoping for a few...

    Just bought a 2012 I-miev - Michigan

    Welcome fellow Michigander to the Bright Side! (instead of the dark side.) I forget how absolutely incredible the i-miev is and find it easy to take for granted... until I have to ride in a ICE car (ugh!). You just made a miraculous purchase. If you are on the west side of the state I...

    still after 6 months haven't figured this out... I need a video example of setting the a/c to cool the car in the last 30 minutes of charging... btw - one of the best purchases I've ever made LOVE the car... even hauled woodshop equipment to its new location using Gregg!

    Wraps

    Last year I was able to find 3M wraps for the i-miev in the US. I was looking specifically at a small one that fit over the charge door. It was a plug inside of a sunburst outline. I can't find it now to order one. Can anyone tell me where to look?

    Anyone's family member hate the i-miev?

    Out of roughly 50 people who have said they thought the car was cute, 1 person, said at first glance it was bug ugly... my former 'interest'. Being cute to her means not being taken seriously. She was also sure the car would be a death trap on city streets. After our entire network of friends...

    Mitsubishi Multi-Communication Systen

    Following the navigation screen has saved me on more than one occasion as I'm traveling off of the Google map suggested routes. Using the service roads I've avoided getting run over by ice cars doing 20 miles faster than the speed limit on the interstates.

    12v management??

    Drove across state (long day even with level 2) to have my car get its first inspection at a trusted dealer. My air bag sensor seemed to be malfunctioning. After a thorough inspection found I out a few unexpected things. (like two recalls? including rust coating needs to be done on my car and...

    Consumers Report: IF it was to report what we like

    Joe, I just read the most excellent rebuttals to Consumer Reports. Thanks for the link to that thread. I wonder if we can write an article about the advantages and what we like about the imiev? Like an imaginary CR article that should have been. I'd like to start a thread on that! Ben In...
