I charged at level 2 on a timed charge set for 5.5 hours. I don't know if it was all the way full, but it had all 16 bars at the end of that time. My intention was not to charge to 100%, so that's why I only put 5.5 hours, thinking that it needs 6-7 hours for a full charge, per the manual Jenn

I'd be worried about covering those HOV stickers! Especially because it will be hard to tell if they are white stickers or green stickers or the now useless yellow stickers. Not sure I'd want to be attracting extra CHP attention when going 83 mph.... :mrgreen: Jenn

I have a picture of my car with no bars and 2 miles RR. or here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42202899@N04/7184812759/in/photostream The aux battery symbol is lit up because I turned off the car and then just turned it back on enough to light up the dash. Jenn

Nice job, Taos! Jenn

See that picture, JoeS? 83 mph and barely above the first tick mark. That's why I can't hold the car at the first tick mark and tell you my speed - it's too fast for me! I guess you'll have to get your data from Wee John, LOL! :lol: Jenn

Early comments from Consumer Reports: http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2012/06/with-the-mitsubishi-i-miev-electric-car-range-anxiety-is-included.html Not very flattering! Jenn

Well, I'm glad we were able to buy our i-MiEV without the extra expense of a quick-charge port because we didn't buy it for long-range driving and don't want to have to pay for that. Adding quick-charging would not substantially change the amount we drive the car. We're happy to run about in...

Nice one, Cap'n! Mine say PV POWR - I got them when I put my PV solar system in, 11 years ago, and put them on my Volvo. I thought that when I got an EV I'd get a set reading PV POWRD, but that wasn't available when we got the i-MiEV. (At the time, I thought I'd be getting an EV in a couple...

How about minimum RR? Forgot I had an errand to run today and didn't charge it up. I left the house with a trip of 30.6 miles ahead of me, 1/2 of it freeway miles, and a RR of 29. Got home with NO BARS and 2 miles RR! Yikes! Plugged in immediately, of course. No turtle, though. Jenn

Why not make the hubcaps completely black? Jenn

Yes - make them black! 8-) If you do, how are you going to do it? I've been thinking about coloring ours, too. Jenn

I thought the market served those customers with a lease. Jenn

Cool, let me know how it goes! How many did you get? Hopefully you can post a picture, too. I think we didn't get the extended hatch cover because our car is wider. I'd really like that hatch cover. :( Jenn

Also, the iMiEV is more efficient than the typical ICE, hence it's 112 miles per gallon-equivalent EPA rating which compares quite favorably with a 25 miles per gallon gasoline powered car. Jenn

Ah, I see it now, but only if I first log in to this forum: http://www.i-mievforum.com/forum/ I don't know why that is. Jenn

I don't see any picture, either.... Jenn

Hi Don, I've tried turning the headlights on and off, and it doesn't make a difference in RR. However, since they ostensibly run off the 12v battery, they shouldn't. I was mostly wondering if there is any background implications of running them off the 12v battery, like the traction battery...

I bet you can get an after-market cruise control. Jenn

Has anyone noticed a difference in range when using the headlights (constantly) vs. not using headlights? Thanks, Jenn

Can you post a link? I couldn't find it on Facebook. Thanks, Jenn
