Update: Dropped my Meepster off at Bigger's Mitsubishi in Elgin, IL last Tuesday night, Nov. 28. Didn't hear from them until late afternoon on Thursday. The verified that they have duplicated the problem I am having with charging up to only 12 out of 16 bars. They said they had spent the last...

I have an appointment to drop the car off at the dealership tonight. They will have it all day tomorrow to do whatever inspections and testing is required. For those who had similar issues and took your iMiEV in for warranty repairs, did the dealership give you any hassles about not following...

Hey, kiev! So what's the current status of your battery? Are you still trying to play around with it yourself? Or have you finally taken it in to a dealership to see if you can get a warranty replacement? Unfortunately, I do not have the tools or the time to do all the DIY checking and...

My 2012 iMiEV SE also just started having battery issues. It only charges up to 12 our of 16 kWh bars. My car has 43,000 miles on it. I already created my own thread regarding my issue before I found this thread. So, I will subscribe to this thread also and follow along.

Okay, I'm following this thread now as I seem to be having the same problem you are. My Meepster just recently (Sunday after Thanksgiving) started charging to only 12 bars. I have submitted an appointment request with my dealership and am waiting for a call back from them. Unfortunately, I do...

Okay, so I found the thread below from another owner in Australia who sounds like he experienced the exact same issue I am having. I didn't see that thread until after I posted. I'm sorry for posting a new thread on the same topic, but I was just trying to quickly get my issued posted (and...

I have a 2012 iMiEV SE. I bought it in July 2013, and it currently has 43,000 miles on it. Up until this past Sunday, it has charged fully (16 out of 16 kWh bars and around 70 miles +/- of RR) every time I have allowed it to charge until full. The Friday after Thanksgiving, we went on a mini...

Doing some more Google searching, I found a YouTube video that shows how to double the range on regular key fob remotes. Basically, you remove the single 3V CR2032 battery and replace it with two 3V CR2016 batteries, effectively increasing the power to 6V. Opening the remote for the iMiEV, I...

Yes, it is!!!!!! I only get about 35 all-electric miles, but that's enough for my round-trip commute. We are now an all-EV household!

True! I'm just so happy that I will no longer need to dress like an Eskimo and avoid using the heat just to make it home in the winter! And when the temperatures really bottom out, I am also now the proud owner of a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan that I can drive to work and stay as comfy warm...

Has anyone managed to find a hack to extend the usable range of the remote? Or any method for initiating the pre-cool/heat process without using the remote (e.g. cellular hack, networked EVSE, etc.)? I finally, Finally, FINALLY got my work to install a Chargepoint EVSE. This will be my first...

Can someone post a link to the "A/C Issue" topic where a previous poster said there was a video of the sound the A/C was making? I want to see/hear if this is the same sound my A/C is making. I rarely ever use the A/C because I actually like the heat during the summer here. So, it hardly ever...

Just wanted to post that I'm really enjoying your videos! Quite well done. Brilliant!

In the US, aren't car manufacturers required by law to provide 10 years of replacement parts availability for any model year? If so, then Mitsu should be on the hook to make parts available for iMiEVs until 2026 or so, right? Wait. Were the 2016s ever actually released in the US?

I'm searching for any kind of app that allows EV owners to easily communicate with each other regarding charging opportunities. More precisely, allowing an EV owner that needs to charge to easily contact another EV owner who is currently charging and asking if it's okay to unplug them to charge...

A couple years ago, I had an accident that kept my Meepster in the shop for an extended time for repairs. It seems like these issues on the steering wheel controls didn't start up until after that. I don't know if the issues are related to the accident in any way, though, as none of the damage...

Sadly, I don't meet any of those criteria. I just don't drive in an environment that is conducive to maximizing any hypermiling techniques. I do what little I can when I have the opportunity.

Just figured I'd post a non-update update. I haven't gotten any closer to figuring out what is causing the steering wheel controls to malfunction. If anything, it is getting worse. It used to be just the Volume buttons giving me issues. Now the pickup/hangup buttons are malfunctioning too! The...

BTW, I started reading the thread on your Rt. 66 journey yesterday. I'm only about halfway through all the pages. You just got out to Cali where I left off last. I just want to say that I am thoroughly impressed with your journey. It takes a lot of guts and planning to embark on that kind of...

In my daily commute to/from work, I get plenty of opportunities to race other drivers off the line. My daily commute probably accounts for 95% of all opportunities I've had for racing off the line. All these opportunities on my commute come at points where one lane ends a very short distance...
