Without having read through the entire 48-page thread on Canion, is there a current, cheap Android device that would be recommended as the best value to purchase specifically for using with Canion? I promise I will go back and read through the whole thread. But right now, I am about to leave on...

Got it! Thanks for settling my inquiring mind, Don. Though, now I feel a bit like an idiot for asking the question in the first place. But, then, how are you ever going to learn anything if you never ask, right?!

I'm no engineer or physics professor. So, sometimes I have these "Hmm, I wonder..." thoughts but no real idea if they are legitimate questions or just plain idiocy. One of those questions I've had for a while with the iMiEV is this. Hypothetically speaking, let's say you have a perfectly flat...

While I haven't completely settled on one specific drive mode, I will admit that for the past couple months, I have been driving mostly exclusively in B mode. A big part of the reason was for the same reasons you mention about regen braking and rarely having to use the service brakes. Another...

Accept I already have plenty of iOS devices that I could use for such an application. No need for me to go out and buy yet another device just for one app. While I agree that it's good Canion is not an Apple-only app, I will lament that it is not available for both OSes. I just find it hard to...

I wish I did. But you Android folks are keeping that sweet program all to yourselves! If there were an iOS equivalent, I would happily be gleaning all this data.

I have been intrigued reading through this thread on hypermiling our iMiEVs. JoeS, you did an awesome job with all your pointers! I so wish I could employee these hypermiling techniques. Alas, I live and commute in suburban Chicagoland with too much traffic to employ most of the techniques and...

Thanks, Joe. It is all very interesting! After reading through this and other threads comparing the different driving modes, I'm still left wondering if there is any definitive insight into which mode would be best for efficiency/range conservation if just left in that single mode? If every...

What shifter did you add to raise its height? I would like a taller shifter myself. However, the only taller shift knob I have tried so far was the type that slips on and is retained by a locking screw. I did not like this as the shift knob kept rotating no matter how tightly I screwed in the...

I noticed something peculiar about D and Eco modes this morning and am curious if it's just me. I've had my Meepster for over 2 years now and STILL have not been able to settle on any one particular drive mode for the majority of my driving. If I put my Meepster into one drive mode and just...

My apologies. I didn't realize you meant yours and David's were EXACT identical models. The only one I saw parked outside the fenced area was all white except for an electric blue band at the bottom of the doors that said "100% Electric." So, if that one wasn't yours, then there WERE 5 iMiEVs at...

Was the one in blue and white parked outside the entrance yours? If not, then there were 5 total iMiEVs at the event (fully half of the iMiEVs in the country, I believe!). If that one was yours, then yes, only 4 iMiEVs. There was mine, David's, Mike's, and yours. The blue/white one would make 5...

Are you not bringing your iMiEV? Or have you just not registered it for the event? The even website only shows 2 iMiEVs representin'. But this thread seems to indicate there will be three of us there!

Excellent! I will see you at the NDEW event tomorrow in Naperville as i am registered with my Meepster!

Okay, just checked on PlugShare. There appears to be a quick charger at a Nissan dealership within a few blocks of the event venue. How are Nissan dealers with allowing non-Nissan EVs to use their chargers? There are a couple other L2 charging options within a few miles of the venue. So, I...

For those who have participated in NDEW events, are there usually places to charge at these events? The event I'm participating in this weekend is going to be right at the range limit for my Meepster. And I won't be able to make it home if I give any rides.

I just registered to take my Meepster to the September 20 NDEW event in Naperville, IL. I even registered to offer test drives in my iMiEV. Looking forward to being part of the process of advocating EVs.

What I would like is a push-button toggle on the shifter specifically for N. That way, I can easily shift into N and coast without the need for running the shifter through the gates. Kiev mentioned playing around with shifting for experimenting with hypermiling. Is there an existing thread (or...

Time for my annual "The Colder Months Draw Nigh" bout of questions. In this round, what I am wondering is if there is any type of solar-powered contraption I can use to minimally (or maximally if possible) heat the interior of my Meepster while it sits outside in the frigid cold for 8 hours...

So jealous. Two+ years owning my Meepster and still have yet to use a quick charge EVSE. There just aren't any functioning ones anywhere near me.
