I broke my remote while carrying it around in my pocket. The case looks fine and it powers on but it has a cracked screen and no longer functions. Please contact me via PM if you've got a spare remote that you'd like to sell. The original part is rather expensive. Pictures & video...

I'm in a similar situation, though I don't think I dropped mine. I'm going to put it into a rubberized case when it's fixed. https://plus.google.com/u/0/108161928669055573248/posts/7QpNEH7jwQq

That's really interesting. How many places in the country have TOU metering? Does the device establish a bi-directional link or is it only receiving information via broadcast? When can I test one out?!

Have you posted the pic anywhere? Let me know if you need help blurring the license plates, if that's what's giving you pause. Google+ has image editing built in and there's also Pixlr.com

Thank you for posting, Robert. This is the first time I've seen record of a >84% charge with the Blink CHAdeMO system. I've posted about this case before where originally I couldn't charge past 40% with my 2012 i-MiEV until Blink carried out a software update to their chargers and I'd also...

Howdy, y'all! You can follow along with me on Twitter where I'm posting on the account WikiLeaksEV for charging and time updates along with my own account in addition to the album of photos on G+. Updating this forum on my smartphone is too difficult

Thanks to the law of small numbers, I'm acutely aware of the stranded vehicles I see on the highways and byways with their fuel doors open. I have never seen an EV stranded in such a manner. Surely it's happened and happening upon a stranded EV would be a rarity anyway, but the "creep off the...

There is a fix for the N7 a2dp problem which priusfan linked. The next update may clear up the Bluetooth issues that I'm seeing; I'll give it a try and report in.

I have never noticed that sort of test on the occasions that I've turtled my car, not even the time I saw the battery light of doom. I'll keep an eye out, though.

There's a thread on the MNL forums started by Tony Williams who drove from Baja California to British Colombia last year in his Nissan LEAF. This year the route will reverse and begin at the Canadian border. Anyone interested in attending can check out this page which has an event listing and...

There's a cool video about these cars (which are named Plug and Play) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UtRe75dCsnY

There's a BC2BC rally being discussed on the MNL forums which I'm considering. I think it will only make sense for me if California is able to get CHAdeMO installed along I-5. The idea of driving 30-50 miles between multiple hour charging sessions along I-5 in the heat of summer isn't terribly...

I wish they'd provide an option for no regen. Because it's only 70-80% efficient, any energy lost to regenerative braking when one doesn't anticipate to come to a complete stop (or intend to slow down at all) will limit maximum range and increase lost energy. This is a comment I've provided to...

Another means of extending range in cold weather is preheating the car and even stopping to run the heater while plugged in. Even the 110 volt adapter will produce enough energy to run the heater although it will impact recharging at the same time.

This was reported via a CHAdeMO station, which certainly does read the battery voltage and communicate with the car to prevent overheating during DC fast charging. Sorry if that wasn't clear from my post. That's an interesting comparison, running an ICE above redline puts mechanical stress on...

That's pretty crazy; Much cheaper than the prices in Canada. Someone could drive from Milwaukie, Oregon to Vancouver in a day along I-5 using quick chargers, by the way.

5.2 miles is my maximum run with the turtle light lit. I was able to climb some steep grades towards the end which I was sure would kill power to the car, but getting a run on level ground kept the amps low enough to avoid a shutdown. The AeroVironment meter indicated 1% as reported by the car...

This should set the record until the BC2BC drive next June. crossposting from the Mitsubishi i-MiEV drivers community on Google+ I've completed a trip from Seattle to Portland then back up to Vancouver, BC. I traveled over 626 miles in a period of 37 hours throughout this trip with 486 miles...

The RR is highly dependent on recent driving patterns: I live on a hill so my RR is always skewed by the climb which takes about 1kWh. When I head out, my RR estimate shoots up at least a few miles as I descend the hill. Furthermore, I usually don't charge to 100% unless I'm planning to use it...

there is always a way... I'd like to be able to access my car over IP with safeguards that meet my high standards (no keys for anyone else: carwings/onstar admins, etc)
