True. Always be mindful of your environment and those around you. These deflectors are miracle workers for me. They allow me to have fresh air flowing through the car without my passengers getting upset about all the wind of a fully-opened window. It clears out the inside fog caused by...

Another thing I really like about the window deflectors is that they make the i-MiEV look sleeker, thinner, and less bulbous. I took this side-by-side photo of my Meepster and the first i-MiEV we've seen since buying ours. It's kind of hard to tell due to the angle, but my car on the right...

How does that inline water heater work, Don?

Thank you, MLucas! And thank you to everyone else who contributes regularly to the myimiev forums. It really is a great resource of knowledge and experience for our cars. I've learned so much about EVs in my short time here so far. I can't wait to become a useful contributor myself once I...

The biggest obstacle would be figuring out how to mark where the center line position of the accelerator is in reference to the top/center mark on the power meter. The power meter only works when you're actually driving, and I doubt it would be safe to try and reach down to mark the position...

Searching around, I found this company online. They seem to have a few more options for custom-fit weather proof floor mats, including the Rubbertite mats in the OP. The non-Rubbertite options seem to run quite a bit more depending on the options you select. I assume that's because they...

So, it's been eight months since the last post in this thread. I'm wondering if anyone else has ordered rubber floor mats for their i-MiEV in that time. If so, did you order the Lloyd mats in this thread or different mats? If the Llyod mats, what color did you get? I am trying to decide...

Okay, this right here makes me feel a whole lot better, and it's something I've been trying to determine ever since I joined myimiev. I've asked a lot of questions on these forums and have probably annoyed a few people here and there by constantly rehashing the cold weather topic. I've been...

Yeah, personally, I can withstand temperature extremes without too much griping, though I'd prefer to be comfortable. I am more concerned with the riding comfort of my passengers. They certainly wouldn't be too thrilled if I was employing tools and technology to keep myself warm while they...

Thanks for the links, MLucas. Viewing those links and then clicking through to other products and then doing Google searches for portable heaters and such, I have so many question on how or if different ideas would work. Therefore, I may be asking a bunch of questions that sound nonsensical or...

Ours is officially known as The Meepster. The name was inspired by the Phineas & Ferb character "Meap" but also because that's the sound the horn makes. I even installed a custom graphic on the rear bumper that simply says "meep!" It gets a lot of attention and smiles. And several times I have...

Yep, there would have to be some sort of indicator that the accelerator is in the same position for each drive mode. And IF someone can figure out a way to do that, I'd love to see it applied to everyday driving. I often wish there was some sort of tactile response to indicate what position...

While we already knew this, it is pretty cool to see the visual evidence! Looking at your graph, RobertC, there is something else I would like to know, and I am hoping you can translate your data for me. You've labeled which drive mode you were in when regen braking was engaged. Can you...

Not that I have noticed. Although, I will definitely pay attention tomorrow morning just to see what indicators you actually get to warn you that you're still plugged in. Obviously, even if there are small visual indicators on the dash, it is still very easy to miss those or not even notice...

Oh man! I just missed this. I read the OP this morning and immediately went to the TED website to learn more about the system without finishing reading the rest of the thread. Could have saved myself 20 minutes by reading they were all sold out. Oh well.

How did water get in it? Did your dad take it fishing? There have been a couple times that I forgot to unplug the charger and tried to drive my Meepster. While I was able to shift out of Park, the vehicle would not move when I pressed the GO pedal. That's pretty much the only indication I...

The temp was a bit in the chilly side on my way into work this morning, around 49°F. Once again, it was enough to cause fogging on the windows due to breathing, but not cold enough to justify using the heater/defroster. After I dropped my kids off at the grandparents' and my wife off at the...

I live in the Chicago suburbs. Depending on what kind of winter we end up getting, it could get bitterly cold for a decent stretch. Negative temps for a week or two at a time isn't uncommon in the middle of January. However, most of the winter, we'll probably average in the mid-20s to mid-30s...

Yes, there's was an ES. What I find interesting from looking at the pics of the two cars next to each other is that mine appears to be shorter. The roofline appears sleeker and not as bulbous. Of course, I know that is just an optical illusion caused by the side window wind deflectors that I...

Yeah, I know some people have issues with displaying their plates online. I really don't understand why. What can anyone really do with your plate number? It's not like they can steal your identity or anything. And they can't do anything from seeing your plate online that the person driving...
