    Buying a Used i-MiEV

    Joe, I just read the most excellent rebuttals to Consumer Reports. Thanks for the link. 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

    Another new owner (data freak)

    This basic information is really valuable. I could have saved 8 weeks of taking notes and looking for patterns if I clearly remembered the info Joe provided or I could have easily retrieved this info. The reality of charge times etc. from my data collection is only now making sense.. Of...

    Instant Heat... so far

    Until someone had mentioned the amount of warmth the car could gain I had dismissed it as not that much of an impact. Likewise I'm thinking putting in an insulation barrier between my feet and the floor will make a big difference to my feet and I shouldn't have to remove carpeting to do that...

    Instant Heat... so far

    Barry, Thanks for those tips... Today on the advice of another forum member I parked the car in the sun while running an errand. It made a huge difference and better than pre-heating in our very sunny 23 degree weather. Felt like 70 inside the car. I think I will look at floor insulation if...

    PREPARATION FOR COLD SEASONS

    A newbie here with an i-miev, there are volumes of knowledge to learn. After spending the whole evening reading through just this topic it really does feel that way.. This is what I've gathered that I can do to keep warm (or cool) that the family agrees fits within our values... For winters...

    Solar charging - what size/type inverter, etc?

    PV1... Re: the videos... Wow... I lived in an eco cottage the first year out of college... The actual electric usage was under 2kwh per day. (based on billing/usage.) I could easily see an i-miev powering something like that and over time purchasing pv for both the home and transportation...

    Buying a Used i-MiEV

    First of all I'm starting to enjoy learning about Gregg and a friend with a J1772 will let me charge until I get my ChargePoint cards. regaring registration, tax and titling... The secretary of state clerk said she can't do anything without the title from the former owner (dealership). Here...

    Buying a Used i-MiEV

    My electric car arrived!!! Greggory is here!!! In my gut I've been scared something would fall through... I've tried to do eveything I can, ask many questions as I could. Have had multiple conversations with my credit union to make sure I have everything.. I've felt a bit paranoid... Each...

    My Christmas Day DCQC Trip

    ***??? Dryer outlets... do I need a conversion plug? Where do I get one??? I'm guessing it will go faster than my 110v plug at home... yes? (if there is already info about that, feel free to direct me...) With the car shared Leaf, and really slow acceleration up to speed (45mph in November)...

    My Christmas Day DCQC Trip

    Thank is really helpful information Joe. Mileage wise, how do you define an intermediate-distance trip? Apart from that, I am right now trying to plan a 114 mile trip from Kalamazoo to Canton Michigan using side roads parallel to the interstate and driving under 45 mph av, for when my i-miev...

    Heat...did we reach a conclusion on this?

    I haven't heard from dealer/about shipping my car yet, but am trying to learn everything I can before it gets here... Topic HEAT!!! My main default source for the present is 120v that I've plugged into to charge a car shared Leaf. Secondary source is a pv bank that supplies a Level 2 system...

    got an app for that?

    A Great Sigh of Relief... I am not proud to say I'm a bit computer illiterate and also on a steep budget to make an i-miev possible. My relief comes when I thought I had to get canion, buy a new phone, bluetooth equipment, etc. so I could get the best out of the car and care for it. Reading...

    Future Energy --- Off big Oil

    I just took the time to see the video today while we are being hit with a supersnow after having days of snow free weather in Michigan. Since this morning it looks like I've got 12 inches of snow and its still falling. I Like what Rifkin has to say and I think this forum evens embodies wisdom...

    New battery pack at 21 months - Las Vegas

    I'm about to sign the dotted line and buy a sight unseen i-miev SE with 4,900 miles to Michigan. We have had frigid temps here and I've no garage. Any advice on minimizing potential harm to the battery? My experience with a car shared Nissan was it liked charging in the winter better...
