    Spare Wheels

    Charging timer

    So you think some features are valuable to you but not this one? Once the choice is made to provide functions through a remote, adding one more is a few lines of code, nearly free. Other manufacturers have similar functions, the leaf for instance has a phone app. Gotta keep up with the jones...

    Charging timer

    In some areas of the country the difference in rates is massive, as in less than 1/2. Said customers would be very interested in such a feature, could be the difference between a sale and no sale...

    12v Power Into Main Cabin

    The latter, it should not draw 150 watts unless something plugged in is consuming > say 125 or 130. Otherwise the thing would get hot enough to melt carpet :) Also, there is a fuse yes? The fuse protects the wire and socket.

    Led indicator to show charging

    I have no answer for you. OTOH, the EVSE (both the stock one and the Clipper Creek one I normally use) has leds on it, can't you arrange the brick so it is visible from a distance?

    Maintenance ??

    Check the level and condition of the oil in the gearbox, @40k kilometers there is an argument for changing it but it is not req'd. Check brake pads and linings, likely fine. Cabin air filter, replace. Personally I'd change the brake fluid around that mileage and time, say after 4 or 5 years.

    New Owner from Spain

    If using chrome, right click on the link and choose open in a new tab. Dunno what to tell you on charging but that parking situation is insane. All I can say if you must park it tight to the wall like that is pull in rather than back in and climb over the shifter / exit the passenger side. Or...

    EVBatMon Readings

    Sounds good, how many actual miles do you get with the 45+ ah? Mine has dropped .1 to 40.5. I am up to just under 5k miles since the end of May. Last weekend my son and I did 62 miles of mostly 50-55 mph highway driving, range meter flashing @4 pulling into the drive way.

    Tesla Model 3 - No Free Supercharging - Option only

    WHAT? :lol: Oh the humanity, life time charging traded for a $40 per year allowance. :shock: :? :D

    New Owner from Spain

    FWIW, the end of the slab in my garage is about 1" higher than the driveway. In other words, it ends and drops down then the garage door comes down 6" or so further out. I run my J1772 lead right in that corner and leave it there with the handled stored in the center area between the two cars. I...

    Replacing Filament Running Lights With LED Bulbs

    Over the course of a full charge LED lights will probably give you an extra 20 feet of range :D

    New Owner in Northern VA

    LOL, I know what you mean. Unless your trip is > 30 miles that method works fine. I say > 30 because your speed and climate usage vary the range enormously. If you are in Northern Va. just keep in mind that you could drag the miles available below 40 if you hopped on a highway with medium...

    Re-surging interest in the i-MiEV?

    Now, why would you think that?

    Re-surging interest in the i-MiEV?

    18 would make a slight difference from time to time. Also, I could charge every third day fall/spring and every other day summer / maybe winter.

    Re-surging interest in the i-MiEV?

    Yes, I also get occasional interest from 2 other types: The general public from all walks of life who realize the thing may be battery only and ask in amazement. I've had a guys call out to me at a traffic light a few times. Also college students comment positively as I drive around campus...

    Re-surging interest in the i-MiEV?

    Gold mine, really? :lol: It attracts attention as a goofy looking odd ball yes. If they could get the range up to 100 miles at the same price maybe...

    Level 3 DC Quick charger upgrade

    In other words, non-economic. Sell what you have and buy one with it installed ;).

    Level 3 DC Quick charger upgrade

    You can buy a level 2 EVSE which plugs in to the same J1772 port your level 1 does. It is not possible to install a Chademo port (level 3) after the fact. The charger installed in your car does both level 1 and 2 depending on how much power the EVSE is capable of providing. For level 3 the...

    Miles per Bar/ Range / Trip Planning Discussions

    FWIW, as one who will steam up your ass in the left lane with the cruise set at 85 going up a 6% grade - have no issue with anyone going as slow as they want in the right hand lane :)
